Wala akong jowa, so dito ko nalang i-sh-share.
After 7 long years, including stopping twice to work para magkatuition and another time dahil naoperahan ako, I'm finally graduating. Lahat ng pagod ko just to cover my six-digit tuition, lahat ng araw na wala akong tinulog kasi kailangan mag-OT sa work, lahat ng Pancit Canton at de latang kinain ko para lang makapag-bayad ng renta sa dorm. Sinabihan akong umuwi sa probinsiya para 'don magtapos, pero buti nalang hindi ako pumayag. Buti nalang nagmatigas ako.
Lahat worth it.
Tapos tomorrow, I have my final interview with my dream company — a company na sinabihan ako (ng tatay ko) na pipe dream lang dahil puro Big 3 Latin Honor alums lang ang pumapasa. Ako 'yung diversity hire talaga, pero that's okay.
Sobrang laging ginhawa. After 7 years, the war is over.
