hearts are burning with desire to be successful in their chosen field that will also provide the
needs of their families. Entrepreneurship isn’t easy. There are a lot of setbacks that will trample
you every time, and makes you think if it is still worth pursuing. But if one has passion, he can

I can say that I share the same sentiments as to those successful entrepreneurs. I am passionate
in achieving my degree and goals in life. There are days when I feel so down and no longer have
an energy to study. However, I did not consider that as a reason to give up or shift course.
Instead, I thrive and still do the best I can. And just like those successful entrepreneurs, no
matter how hard and stressful my program is, I never losses sight of why I am striving to get this
and be successful—I am doing this for my family.
