Through perseverance, faith and hardwork, his dreams came true. For four years he swept and cleaned floors as a janitor. Then , he became a clerk and later on an election assistant at the Commission on Elections office in Malabon, Philippines. All he wanted is to break that cycle of poverty, He never gave up on his dream and now all his efforts paid off. He is now a lawyer and plans to stay working in the office where he started his dream.

@magallon It is so inspiring. I was thinking to follow his footsteps to success. My cousin also passed the exam too. He admired him for passing the bar.

Honestly, I admire him. He has a wife and children to take care to, he has a job to attend to, but then he can still give time to his studies. And to think that he only took the bar once. Take one and he successfully passed. So admirable.

i appreciate those graduates and board passers who tell their lives of suffering and then gained so much positivism, like that lady who sells fish and graduated MagnaCumLaude.
