When I graduated from high school, my only hope of going to college was through scholarship because I belonged to a poor family. Luckily I passed the State Scholarship Program of the Philippine Government. Aside from that, I was also chosen as one of the scholars of the University of the Philippines Experimental Democratization Students (UPXDS) Scholarship. I owed by being now from that scholarship. To all poor and deserving students, do not worry. Someone and other entity will offer you the path that will lead to the attainment of your dreams.
