Same with my husband - he also needed to walk for several kilometers to school. He also experienced hardship during his childhood, having to work in the farm with his father if he refused to go to school. He had no choice but to study, and to study hard, in order to improve life and for a better future. You have a very inspiring story, Belle.

Both my husband and I came from poor families as well, and thanks to scholarships and generous persons we were able to strive and excel academically. Belle, your life is such an inspiration, and may it continue to be an inspiration to all young persons out there who are seeking to change their lives. Change is possible. Poverty can be overcome!

I can relate to the most part of it. Minsan when I look back, I can't think but smile kahit ang hirap ng buhay nun. Nakatikim ka na ba ng buong araw, ang ulam nyo kangkong lang na ginisa sa toyo? Hahaha parang nagrereklamo ata ako ngayon? Such an honest heartwarming story Belle. I can relate to the most part of it.

Nakatikim ka na ba ng buong araw, ang ulam nyo kangkong lang na ginisa sa toyo? Hahaha parang nagrereklamo ata ako ngayon?

I also experienced hardships in my childhood, but I don't think they compare to yours. And I agree with the others that it was not just luck that got you to UP. It was your determination and of course, you've got the brains to. :) Such an inspiring story belle. I also experienced hardships in my childhood, but I don’t think they compare to yours.

I admire you for pursuing your dreams in spite of the hindrances. You are an extraordinary person with a BIG heart :) You reminded me of a Tagalog saying, "Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan Hindi makakarating sa kanyang paro-roonan." May you continue to touch and inspire more lives :) Amiga, now I truly understand your generosity to your kababayans. I admire you for pursuing your dreams in spite of the hindrances.

It really doesn't matter how much or how little we have been given to start with. You're living proof of that. I hope this inspires many readers as it has me.

What a story. Touched me. Made me remember my own childhood ... marked by occasional deprivation too (which luckily I didn't really feel, being so naive and perhaps knowing no better and not prone to observe others.) :) Education became the passport for upward mobility for you, right? And of course it helped a lot that you were bright, hardworking and motivated and probably had the right breaks. I guess we're lucky, you and I and many others in the same bus. But I see everywhere in this country how poverty is perpetuated. Lack of education is the No. 1 culprit. And for some, even if willing to struggle to get educated, they just do not have the tools -- the academic inclination. Sucks ha? Anyway, I guess we just have to do the little that we can in our own corner. Your story inspires. Awesome! Belle!
