I’m glad we can now say we made the right decision. Remember my entry a few weeks ago about being incoherent? It took us a while to make the final decision on a very critical issue about the future of a child. I’m not talking about a baby here, not an adoption, NOT YET. I’m talking about sending a kid to school.
Yes, hubby and I decided and committed to help a child to be able to continue to go to school. We will be sponsoring the education of a high school senior right now(Philippines school setting), to go to De La Salle University Manila come May 2008 and pursue an Engineering degree. This is five years of commitment, no re-payment required; the only requirement from us would be for the kid to excel and graduate with flying colors. It was tough for us, because we weren’t sure if we can be committed that long, and having been carefree all our adult lives not having to worry about financially supporting anyone; yet it tugged our hearts to see the dreams of a brilliant kid go down the drain. He can always go to a less expensive school, many would say. But the fact that he will have greater and better opportunities as graduate from this school, we just couldn’t say NO.
That’s money well spent, and our ability and WILLINGNESS to be able to help gives us contentment and joy. Giving a brilliant future to a brilliant kid : priceless!
I commend you for embarking on such a selfless endeavor. Education, truly is the best gift anybody can give to anyone!

OMG juliana, this post gave me goosebumps. i understand how critical this decision is because sending someone to DLSU isn\’t a joke (my bro is also enrolling this coming term)…this student is so lucky. When he’s too tamad to cut classes, i hope he will realize that he is too blessed to miss classes. I salute you and your husband!

What else is left to say but goodluck and bless your hearts. I was one of those that benefited from people like you. Never did get to meet my ‘benefactor’ but I know they’ve been blessed for the help they extended to me and my family.
