Ing Karanasan anting SEAP Iskolar
“As a student who’s not from a financially privileged family, I’ve always been studying in public schools from kindergarten to senior high school. However, the program I chose to take in college (BS Medical Technology) required me to enroll in a private university; thus, I sought for all the help I can get and applied on different scholarships (BYA scholarship offered by AUF, CHED, SEAP, and educational assistance provided by government officials).
One misconception people usually have is that studying in a private university equates to being a “rich kid.” The situation was different in my case. During my college years, there were times wherein I have to always bring canned goods for lunch and walk from AUF to Marquee mall when going home because I’m saving my allowance in case there will be unexpected expenses (e.g. school projects) which I don’t want my parents to be troubled for. Whenever I look back, those hardships makes me even more grateful for being able to finish college.”
Ing Pamagsadia para king Licensure Examination
“I remember how fascinated I was to see the names of all the topnotchers displayed at the hallway upon entering the university for the first time. I used to dream of becoming one of them, but I decided to cast it away later on until I have forgotten all about it considering how difficult it is to just barely pass. BS Medical Technology wasn’t a program of my choice in the first place, that’s why I always had doubts if I am going to pass the board exam or not. Whenever I feel down while studying and also during the board exam, I’d jokingly say to myself “Ay hindi, magta-top ako!” even if I really feel like crying deep inside because I don’t know what to answer. Little did I know, that joke would actually turned into a reality.”
Pamigunam at Amanu para karing Kaparang Iskolar
“I think the most valuable lesson I’ve learned from being a SEAP scholar is the importance of (1) seeking God first before seeking excellence — because if we do, then the latter will come right up to us in our own season and in His own perfect timing, and (2) humility, for I was once a scholar who won’t make it to where I am right now if it’s not from all the help I received from other people.
Whether or not you are already at the place where you want yourself to be, being a scholar alone is something you should be proud of already because that’s something you have been really working hard for. It might feel discouraging to even just continue at times, but just doing your best — and by best I mean, just doing whatever you’re capable of at the moment, is more than enough. Your future self will surely thank you for not giving up. Malayo pa, pero malayo na.”
