“Keep your dreams alive.

Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in

yourself, vision, hard work, determination and dedication. Remember all things are possible for
those who believe”, few lines from Gail Deners that describe my eagerness in fulfilling my
dreams.
If you would ask the out of school youth within our community why they decided to
stop in going to school, they would probably answer the word “POVERTY”. They will say “my
parents can’t afford to send me to college because of financial matter”, and I am one of them.
I’m Arvin S. Lambot from the College of Agriculture, major in Animal-Science (CSU
Sanchez-Mira Campus). It was year 2014 when I finished high school but I wasn’t able to go to
college the following years for I have to wait for someone who would help me. It took me more
than a year after I realized that I have to work hard and do something for myself. I worked as a
laborer just to earn money for my studying.
My eagerness and determination to graduate as an agriculturist is now about to fulfill.
But these days, a more challenging role is yet to come which makes my studying more difficult
to afford on how will I fund my thesis. Since I only have limited resources, I work every
Saturdays and Sundays to sustain my daily needs as a student.
I believe that this scholarship will help me a lot and it’s the best way to keep me
advancing into this career. This will help me accomplish my current goal, move on to the next
and become a successful Agriculturist. Having this scholarship means taking away my financial
problem. Thus, it gives me more time to focus on my studies, gain knowledge and secure better
grades. Lastly, once a student will graduate from college with a scholarship is highly recognized
by employers for they believe that they are responsible enough in taking tasks.
I am not a perfect image of a student, but I am a student who is trying enough, working
so hard, and doing the best way I can just to finish my college because “MY DREAM IS ALSO MY
FAMILY’S DREAM”.
I would like to express my sincerest thanks and gratitude to all who have been
instrumental to their scholarship. I may not be able to repay all, but I will pray to God that he
will bless you more with a kind and generous heart. May he keep you away from any danger.
God bless the Duterte Administration, also the Cagayan State University under the
leadership of Dr. Urduja A. Tejada.
