Tenacity and hard work is the key to every success, and many people had already proven that it does not matter if many of your colleagues are way ahead of you, as long as you continues running at your own pace. And soon you will reach your finish line-- your very own goal waiting just for you.
The story Abzonie Reño, a former janitor who made everyone proud when he graduated his Secondary Education, Major in Math degree as a Summa Cum Laude from Caraga State University at the age of 27 proved nothing is impossible with anyone who works hard.
Not only that, he also managed to be on the 7th place of the top LET Passers among his batch.
According to Reño, he lived in a very poor life way back that it pushed him to stop himself from schooling. He also added that due to his situation, he needed to go to Manila to test his luck out there.
But apparently, fate still did not get kind on him at those times.
Reño listed few of the many jobs he tried just to make a living. He once became a house boy, a factory worker, a sales man, a baker, a security guard and a janitor.
“Sobrang saya po proud sa sarili kasi ‘yun nga hindi ako bumalik ng pag-aaral para mag-excel bumalik lang ako para makapagtapos lang po pero sobra-sobra pa po yung binigay ni Lord,” Reño said.
Did he even thought he can be finally a teacher years ago? Honestly, Reño was not so sure. Probably, he would not even believe if someone told him about his current achievements and his stable job as a Math Teacher.
But considering his determination and his heart for education, it was not a great surprise that he was able to attain it all. What can you say about this story? Share us in the comment section!
