TO THE BARRISTERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN PHILIPPINES:
The beauty of the struggle.
Whether we accept it or not, this pandemic already made a dent in our lives, consuming all of our sanity.
And also, this pandemic made your journey towards attaining that dot more confusing and alienating.
But Life has its ways of subverting our expectations, and sometimes you don’t have the vernacular to show your frustrations.
I know that no words can’t express the whirlwind that you’re in right now.
You have lived the last 2 years full of helplessness and hopelessness. But we have no choice but to pursue the unknown, despite all the challenges we are all facing right now.
So when faced with uncertainty, remember the reasons why you are here in the first place. It will be painful, but it will provide a chance to change. And every change is a chance to be better.
There is beauty in every struggle and it is up to us to turn these struggles into victory.
To our UNP Bar examinees, continue to strive for greatness. Remember that in our hearts, you are legendary.
