Every student has his or her own struggles in life.
For Melvin Chua, it was to finish his studies even if it means selling sponges on the streets.
Chua, the first college graduate of his family, narrated in a lengthy Facebook post how his “suki” helped him achieve his dream.
“And as I end this remarkable journey, ito yung araw na hinding hindi ko kayo malilimutang pasalamatan. From the bottom of my heart. SOBRANG MARAMING SALAMAT PO. Dahil sa pagbili nyo ng paninda ko, isang araw, isang linggo, isang buwan at isang taon ang nadadagdag para mapagpatuloy ko ang pag aaral ko at matulungan ko ang pamilya ko,” he wrote on Facebook.
Chua, who took up Bachelor of Science in Office Management at the University of Makati, said that no matter where life may take him, he will always look back to his humble beginnings and to the people who have been with him through thick and thin.
