And I can’t believe what I just saw, right in front of my eyes. Clearly, I’m surprised to read my name along with those people who are now CPA’s. Yes, I’m now a CPA. CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, a big name, attached to what I have. I’m happy, trust me. It’s just that it’s so overwhelming that it’s not yet sinking in my system. Definitely, I’m blessed. This is one of the many things in my list of dreams and aspirations. And now I’m beginning to feel a little bit lost for words. It’s humbling to have it after my surname, because I get the chance to give honor to my parents’ name, especially for my dad, who is sure more than happy right now. He is the one who inspired me to go on with pursuing this, though I had a lot of hard time figuring my way through this. I get a lot of encouragement through his overseas phone calls, and his prayers. I also have to thank my mom who is very (and I should say VERY in bold letters) patient in all of my mood swings and food picks. It is terribly hard for her but she always makes it a point to ask me everything I want that sometimes I tend to ask for things that are not reasonable. And for that I am sorry. After today, after she hugged me while crying, seeing my name on the list, I felt comfortable inside her embrace, and that is when I said to myself that now it’s my turn to give her everything she’ll ask for. A way of thanking her for all she’d done for me. I also want to take this opportunity to thank Review School of Accountancy (ReSA) for giving me the inspiration to study harder and to dream higher about my future.
To Miguel, who never stayed away from me, for keeping me sane amidst all the stress I’m feeling, and for loving me though we’re not spending much time together, this is for us. This is a step closer to our dreams. Thank you for the support and care, and for understanding my need of time studying. <3 p="p">
And lastly, to my Savior and my Father up above. I am nothing without Him. I will take this chance to serve You and to glorify Your name, as I help my family. And I will be forever thankful for all the blessings and opportunities You’ve given for me. I love you Papa God.
