Not all young people are able to study or even finish their education, which is one of the problems of our society from then until now. And one of the main reasons for this is poverty, which is why at an early age many young people are tempted early on to experience bone strain which is why some of them only finish elementary or secondary education.
Meanwhile, not all young people use poverty as a reason for not being able to finish school, because there are also young people who, despite the hardships of life, still strive to get the diploma they dream of.
Just like that is the life story of a teacher full of inspiration. This is because his life is really emotional, which is that despite the many hardships he experienced he did not give up to reach his dream that he has now achieved.
This teacher was identified as Arlene E. Alex, of whom she recounted, that she had experienced being a beggar before, just so she could reach out to her parents. He added that he also experienced being a young pier, whose job was to dive into the sea at the pier while the ship's passengers tossed coins and this is what they take and dive.
Arlene said that this extreme poverty that she experienced inspired her to study hard and persevere in life, so that she could lift herself and her family out of poverty.
Today, Arlene provides services to young people who, like her, used to dream of graduating. What he teaches now are children studying at IPED, and besides that he also sometimes teaches other badjao youth.
Arlene shared her graduation picture on social media, and attached to it was an piece of advice she had for individuals who are constantly striving in life to fulfill their dream.
"Choose to continue even if you feel you can't, you will see the sweetness of suffering at the right time."
Because of the dedication that Arlene has achieved in her life, she was awarded the “3rd Unique Batangueno 202” award by the Rotary Club Batangas, for her service to her fellow Batangenos. This success story of Arlene is proof of that. as long as you have diligence, perseverance and strategy in life, whatever you desire in your life you can achieve.
