Last Friday, 01 April 2011, was the Solemn Investiture of UST-CTHM, the college where I belonged. It was a very memorable day for me because aside from us graduating students being the Quadricentennial Batch, I also received an award, one that made the whole family and friends very proud of me and of course, I wouldn't have received it without the help of the Lord. He is the ONLY reason behind this achievement.
After taking the four-year course filled with fear in meeting new friends and professors, with joy in different moments I've shared with the people, with difficulty in accomplishing lots of schoolworks which I was really serious and addicted to, etc, finally, I made it. I made it with the help of the Lord. I was happy to have achieved such good recognition, but I was mostly happy for my family, especially for my mother who sacrificed all her efforts just to provide for my studies. I could still feel her joy...she even cried when she read the letter from the office saying their congratulations to the parents of graduates with honors. I was really happy for her. If she was happy for what I've achieved, I was much happier because I made her happy. That's one of the things I wanted for my family especially for my mother, for her to be happy all the time. And this achievement became a way to bring joy to her and to our family. That's why I praise and thank the Lord for this great accomplishment.
My partner's also very happy for me because he was a witness to my hardships in my studies. He even helped me in lots of different ways. Thanks to him. He once told me when I was very tired that I already wanted to stop studying, that I should give my best at school because it was the thing that he failed to do, as he spent and focused most of his time on other things. That's why this achievement was also for him. Even though he didn't finish his college with a reward, he helped me finish with a reward though. I share this achievement with him, too. Thanks be to God for everything. :)
