Charade's Charade

It is always in my desire to help children or students to finish their education especially those who are less fortunates but eager to finish their studies.



Last week I met our suppose to be second scholar. She will be in 1st year college this coming June. She came from a far-away barangay of Bukidnon, in Miarayon, Talakag Bukidnon. I met her during one of our visit in barangay of Bukidnon. Their place was nice and cold that the temperature would reach 19 degree celsius and below.



But the sad part was that there were children who were unable to finish their elementary years or even highschool years because the schools were limited. They havetowalk two hours usually to reach their school. But there were studentswho were eager and wanted to finish school.



I met a very shy girl but has a strong determination to graduate and want to prove that something will change. Among the three of them, she was the only one who graduated in highschool. So after we visited the place, we were thinking of helping her.



The best way to help her is through her education, to help her graduate in college. So she travelled all the way from Miarayon going to our place. When she arrived I oriented her about our little town. Then she took the entrance examination and able to pass. Evertything was ready for her. But I don't know what happened that she changed her mind on the last minute. One week prior to the enrollment, she told us that she will not be enrolling. Her reason was that she missed her family and she wants to go back to Malaybalay.

I talked to her and told her that its normal to feel that way because it was her first time to be away but along the way she will get used to it. But she was decided already to go home. I emphasized her that finishing college can be one of her greatest achivement and also she can help already her family.

But she decided aready to go home and we respect her decision. I hope she can really finish college like what she really wanted. The door is still open for her, all we want is to help these kids.
