#DearYoungerSelf, you can do it. no matter what, don't stop dreaming. all are worth it. it will never be easy but you will make it #STEMKumustahan #FromRootstoSTEM

When I applied for MS Horticulture at UPLB I got rejected. When I applied for MSPH in UP Manila, I was given a nondegree status, was told "There's no guarantee". When I was working as RA, I was told I wasn't the brightest. That my work is mediocre. #STEMKumustahan

This is my transcript. As you can my grades wasn’t stellar. It was a factor for getting rejected by many grad schools but I want to tell my younger self to never give up. Prove them wrong. Prove yourself wrong. #STEMKumustahan

Your boy is now a published author and has been with the giants of public health. If I am making it now, so you can. So to my youngerself, kaya yan. And to you. Kaya yan. #STEMKumustahan
