Top Ten Outstanding Political Science Students of the Philippines 2013

Being able to make it on the Top 3 among the Top 10 Outstanding Political Science Students of the Philippines after a tough elimination round is beyond all my expectations during the National Political Science Convention held in Vigan City. I wrote this not just solely to proclaim my happiness but simply to inspire others and to articulate my little feelings of resentment. We had the best moments in Vigan City where along with it is the joy and fun I had with my fellow finalists coming from the different regions of the country. Exchanging thoughts and opinions with the youths of my age and other faculty members from the other universities who attended the assembly is an opportunity which I can never forget.

I thanked those universities who adopted and hospitably entertained me during the entire convention. They never failed to make me feel comfortable despite the loneliness of being a lone delegate from the university which I am representing. Never mind that I was struggling from being financially challenged unlike my fellow finalists who were totally supported by their universities, never mind that there was no consideration in the costs of preparing all my documents in the college unlike all of my fellow finalists, still, everything is worthy. After all, recognition is nothing. What is more of being an outstanding is the drive to genuinely serve the people.
