“You don’t need a lot of people to congratulate you for an achievement you’ve done. Just as long as your friends and family extended you their sincerest commendation, it is worth the honor already.” - Mom

Last Friday afternoon, I finally had the greatest achievement of my life at the palm of my hands. When the secretary handed me this piece of laurel, I was on an adrenaline with the hormones of happiness. After an extremely difficult second term, I didn’t expect to be part of the dean’s list since most of my batchmates have made it in the first term while I didn’t. But as the old folks say, nothing is impossible. I never thought I would turn this dream into a reality especially I was not exactly the star student.

I kept this as a secret to most of my friends for two months all because I didn’t want want to brag about it too much and I wanted to wait for the certificate first. So last night, I finally posted this - and received overwhelming support from my HS and college friends, batchmates, and family members. So a big thank you to everyone! >:D<
