The Slim Kid Inside: Congrats, Ate Spike!

Graduating from college or even finishing your studies is such an achievement. Actually, graduating in your NSTP Class is such an achievement for me! Heeheehee! Naka-survive ako sa isang buong taon sa NSTP ah! Kahit booooooring! Well, a lot of people see it as a fulfillment of someone's (student's) dream. But me, I also see it as a fulfillment of the parent's dream for their child. It's always our parent's dream to give us good education > to get good job > to give our (future) family a good life...and so on!

And my cousin, Ate Spike, fulfilled her dreams and also her parent's! She got her diploma last March 23, 2013! She survived the psycho world of college. Well, her course is BS Psychology! For sure, she'd survive that so-called "psycho" world of college!

Me, as an upcoming 3rd year College Student, I find it hard to survive college. I'm actually losing hope because of the trial I've been through for 2 years. But Ate Spike? She survived college though she faced a lot of challenges. And I know, those challenges made her stronger than we ever thought she is.

My professor once told us, "Di pa tapos ang laban habang may isang buhay ka pa." Meaning, don't lose hope until there's still a chance in winning or surviving. Ate Spike fought! And she won, she survived!

Another thing! My professor also told us, "Dapat may tinitignan kayo. . ." Some sort of that. Meaning, we should look up to someone so we'll have inspiration in achieving our goals. And in the family, we only have few graduates in College! That's why, Ate Spike's one of those tinitingala ko! Of course, Ate Kath also!

Congrats, Ate Spike! I love you!
