What is your advice to a student who wishes to take the same program as yours?
My advice to the students who wish to pursue the same program I took is just to enjoy the journey. Enjoyment can come in all sorts of forms: laughter, fulfillment, praise, and a lot more. It’s up to you to decide if you’ll let the challenges burden you or make it as a stepping stone to become a better version of yourself. Challenges are present everywhere, even outside of school. It’s important that all of us know how to face them when they arrive. It’s okay to cry or take a break; it’s part of being a student. Remember to wipe your tears, keep your head up high, and move forward.

What are the values you have learned in the whole experience?
Spirit of family and enjoyment.
