My Success Story

I was born in a poor and ordinary family. During my elementary life,

I could not remember that I have gain success because my teacher always
told me “BUGO ka” and many times I received a corporal punishment for the
unreasonable reason. I was so mad to my teachers. I cannot forgot them of
what they have done to me. In my high school life I begun to mingled with
my bad friends in order to “feel secured.” It was happened because of my
bad experienced in elementary and of course the wrong choices I had made,
again I could not consider my high school life as success because I was
entangled with vices such as smoking, drinking and taking drugs. I was so
discouraged in my studies almost all of my subject were failed my parents
was very angry at me. I graduated in high school with dismay because of my
performance.

One of my greatest regrets in my life was when I was applying for

a scholarship in one of the school in Cagayan De Oro City. The interviewer
told me that I cannot avail for the scholarship because of my failing
grades in majority of my subject taken from first grading up to third
grading during my fourth year. I promised to myself that if God Allow me to
proceed in college. I will do my best in my studies even do I look for
myself as ordinary and average person. Time passed by I decided to study in
MVC as a working student, first I was struggled because of the environment
“mingaw kaayo.” I was working in cafeteria for one semester, after that I
applied as a villager in one of the faculty in these campus. One year
passed by, I have to looked for a job in order to sustain my studies, when
I asked a permission to the faculty where I am staying. He said just stay
here, I will sponsor your studies until you finish. Now I consider as a
success in all hardship in life especially as working student. I was so
thankful to God that he used other people as instrument for my success the
teachers who exert their effort for teaching, what I experienced for my
teachers before during my elementary and secondary life in school was
opposite in college life especially in dealing with me. Thank you so much
teachers. I would like to thank the faculty that I staying and my family
for their unwavering support.
