If I am going to write a story of my life, it will take time for me to share it. My life has a disastrous start despite of everything that happened I always fight just to survive. When I was younger up until now, I send myself to school before I became a MCI scholar. My parents don't regard education as a high priority. Despite of this, I don't have any grudges to my family.

I belong to a big family of 12 children. We don't own a house. The other members of my family moved to Mati and in Pantukan.. After high school graduation, I decided to pursue my study and enrolled at the University Of Mindanao (UM), Davao and took up BS Accountancy only to stop my studies after two weeks due to financial constraint. Even though I was granted 50% discount as a scholar having graduated as 2nd honorable mention in high school. I exerted efforts in job hunting but ended up empty-handed. I went home hoping to save money by working there for a year. For my survival, I accept research and encoding jobs from my classmates as a means of income for my food and rent. I sacrificed to go to internet café just to odd jobs for a living. I was dead-set to pay my remaining balance with UM. If MCI would not help me paying my outstanding balance, I would stop going to school again and return home much to my dismay. Sir Aland came to my province and saw my family condition. The road going home isn't accessible. We live in a far area of the province. There are times when food can not reach our place. When it is raining my family has to wait until it stops due to a leaking roof. If given a chance I could be a model to the youth who like to be useful and productive citizen of this city. It is in my heart's intention to repay kindness the way MCI helped me. I can pay it forward like MCI which invests on a needy person. My story could be documented and be shared to everyone in the future .I wanted to prove that "poverty is not an obstacle to success" As of now I'm fully committed to my study and to the Minority Care International (MCI). Thank you so much for having me. I will owe this to you in my entire life.
