Hey there my hivers, back again here I wasn't around for two weeks, had a very busy week before graduation and after.
As I've close my chapter and journey as senior high student as well as my junior high school journey, I would like to share the summary of this entire journey of my life as student.
Back then when I was in elementary I remember I did stopped for a year, it was my fifth level because my father doesn't have yet a stable job but the entire journey during my elementary days I cannot forgot those moments of sacrifice of my mother just for me and my sister can go to school. We are very in need of income for us to study and have allowance in everyday but through all hardworks and effort I exert I graduated with many awards even though it's just a certificate but still it's a great start to reach my dreams and be inspired in my journey in high school.
Now talking to my "high school journey" I compete and study hard since Grade 7 I become an honor student since Grade 7 until this Grade 12. It's not just so easy of what I've been, there's still a need, and at that time as I start to explore the world outside of my comfort zone and God found me and that day I mean night, I was invited by my grandmother to the church anniversary (24th years) it was all God's will after that I met different people in the church and I started to engage with them and one day our Senior pastor (pastor Jose) and his wife ask me if I do house chores especially grass cutting I answered yes I do and that was the beginning of my story striving for the best and working to provide my basic needs in school so I do have my own money for my allowance the entire week, I was so blessed by that time until I met ate Jean (junebride) here in Hive who had been the open door to the cryptocurrency, I started on Appics, later on in steemit and lastly here in Hive in which I stayed for long. There were so many opportunities comes my ways since I was grade 7,8,9,10 & grade 11 so thankful for what God had done unto my life back then and so blessed for this last year of my high school life.
RECOGNITION 2024
In my year level (12) I become the top 1 in our classroom, I become the trusted right hand of my adviser in every activity and instructions he need to disseminate to the classroom and also I am a President of our classroom, as an eldest to all of my classmates I stand doing what is right and teaching what is good to what is bad I've been their conscience cause I always stand for what is right, I stand as a leader that will make sure that my group is secure and will always follow the rules that is who I am in the school.
And now, the most awaited moment has finally come. But before this recognition happen, there is deliberation that happen since they need to know who will be the top 1 or Valedictorian for this year 2024 based on the result my name was on the rank 1 and the rank 2 is my classmate too his name is Steven, he is also top 2 in our classroom's honor roll and the ultimate prayer I had been praying since the start of this school has been finally happening and it was all by God's grace, the author of my story and the source of everything that I achieved.
So here's the rewards I received,
As top 1, I received
🥇With High Honor (silver medal)
🏅Governor Aris Aumentado
🏅Congresswoman Alexie Tutor the orange one
🏅Special Award (from my adviser)
🏅 Certificate of Recognition and Merit from Holy Name University (HNU)
ULTIMATE ANSWERED PRAYER 🙏
I also received an amount of 10,000 pesos as Valedictorian for this year 2023-2024. There's a volunteer from USA that his wife is from the Philippines, they decided to offer a monetary assistance for all top students for each year, it was a ten (10) year contract and this year was the second year and this blessings I've received is an "ultimate answered prayer", here's the reason, last year in my 11th Grade I was also the top 1 and I didn't expect that, it was indeed a great blessing for me and they just said that the Valedictorian will received 10k pesos and as a competitive one, since the first day of school I prayed to God that He will guide me throughout my journey not because of the money but all by His will that's what I asked and prayed to God and yeah, look as you can see He did it to me and I'm so blessed and thankful for what He had done unto my life it is indeed an answered prayer 🙏

Mama and Papa Isaac, thank you so much for all your unwavering efforts and unstoppable support for me. Time flies so fast. Back then, when I was in elementary school, I remember just wondering if I would be able to finish studying, knowing that our situation is not lucky enough to reach my dreams, but beyond blessed by what God has brought me right now. Look at what God has done to me. He's so amazing in his different ways of taking care of his children. Thank you so much for your always positive words of motivation, Pa, and to Mama, who has been a great mother to me in all ways. Even though my father wasn't around during my graduation still thankful for his unwavering effort working there in Manila to provide our needs here in Bohol.
One of my inspiration too is my brothers but only Eric was in the picture , I don't know where johnkyle go.
Here we are, graduates for this year 20214!
As I closed this chapter, I learned to really wait for God's perfect timing and always seek Him in all different ways and He will surely bless my path, I said to myself it is not yet the end but instead "this is just the beginning of adventure as I go to college and I am sure that it may be difficult but I need to have the courage to take risk and well-determined to reach success.
Mapute, Jessica F.
