βKaya man diay, abi nakog diliβ
Today, I am not just celebrating my graduation but also the strength and perseverance that got me here. To all who supported me through this journey, your encouragement made all the difference.
Di najud ta ani maboyboyan ug makompara sa lain, pero niagi pud baya ko anang compare2, often I heard, "Look at them; they are now professionals with good jobs and stable lives, ikaw nag-skwela pa, pila na katuig wa pa nahuman ug skwela, awa ang anak ni kuan oh nagtudlo na, nurse na, lami nag kahimtang, professional na π¬β Still, I continued, knowing my path was different but equally valuable. Note this, ang kusog pajud mo compare mao pay gaba2.
No matter how long it takes, no matter how long youβve studied or what obstacles youβve faced, padayon uy! Remember that persistence and determination will always lead you to your dreams. My story is a testament, grabi akong kaagi from financial constraints and emotional struggles. Real people understand the truth, but those who are insincere remain doubtful. And, with the unwavering support from my loved ones βAmaβ and my own relentless determination, I persevered.
Thank you, Ama ha katan, MashaβAllah!
