It's my second time attending the Christmas Get-together of the Kabayan Ten Outstanding Public School Students this year, the first being in 2015--also my first being here in Manila working.
This is one of the events I'm looking forward to attend every December because I want to fill the missed times when I was still studying because I studied in Cagayan de Oro in Mindanao and had never got the chance to attend this yearly event until now that I already graduated and luckily got to work here in Manila so I'm always up to attend this event.
I made a lot of personal friends during my first attendance although we sometimes talk in social media before. The TOPS family is really in various fields, some are in engineering, business fields, I am in I.T, of course some are in education and some are proceeding to law and medical fields ect.
The cool thing about Kabayan's Foundation is, even though we have already graduated, the foundation is still very supportive and we are all loving it. Kabayan and Atty Jess, the loving fathers of Kabayan Foundation are really loving and caring especially to the TOPS scholars.
Speaking of my second attendance just last December 16, 2016, it was inspiring.
Each of us got the time to update the family about how are we doing now and make them proud of all of us. We got one CEO of her own start-up company from our batch already, our Summa Cum Laude ranked 13th on her CPA Board Exam, others already passed their licensure examinations, on their law courses, others are already doctors, and seems all are doing great and really well.
My biggest update to them was of course the happiest moment I had in 2016 when I finally found my mother after almost two decades.
I joked at them. But it's true. I am not mad to my mother nor sad that I experienced those hardships in life because it actually brought me where I am today.
I might not have been a scholar of Kabayan and SM Foundation if my mother didn't left us and I might not have met this great former VP or met Tatang Henry Sy and Family or worst I might not have graduated in college.
Let's ride on with life even if how cloudy it is for now, just appreciate it and sunshine will come soon. Just left the hatred behind and accept the reality that this is what it is today and you have to keep moving forward no matter what for the people you love.

"I'm still thankful for my mother for leaving us because if she didn't, I might not be here today"
