It’s almost four years that I had been a scholar of De La Salle Lipa. When I was in fourth year high school, I never thought that I can continue studying on college. I am very thankful that because of this prestigious school, I am now on my way to the finish line of being a student.
When I am on my first days here at De La Salle Lipa, I thought that I can’t survive because of the high expenses like for projects, photocopies, school supplies, transportation, books, uniforms and for food.I also though it would be difficult for me to have friends because what I heard from my high school friends is that all Lasallians are rich and are hard to be with. As time goes by, I see myself adjusting and adopting those things that I thought I will never survive. As I face the challenges of being a college student, I have learned many things in life.
First, I learn how and when to seek help from my classmates and friends, when I’m in need and when to stand on my own feet to accomplish the things that I have to do.I’ve also learned how to value every single peso that my parents give to me. Furthermore, I learned how to give importance to those people who are there to support and guide me on the right path of life. I also learned how to value the graces and good things that happens to me. For four years of staying in this institution, I became a real man, a man that thinks of having a better future not only for myself but also for my family.
I became very eager of achieving my goals of being a successful person that everyone wants.Moreover, I become more responsible and careful on taking up every action and making decisions. I am very thankful to this institution. Thank you for all the good things, learnings and improvements that happened to my life.
Thank you for accepting me as a part of your family, a family that is always there to help and support the condition of the less fortunate people like me. Thank you for teaching and helping me to strengthen my faith in God. Above all, thank you for making me feel that I belong.
