While fixing my things for school, this luma-dated 2003-people magazine caught my eyes. As I was flipping along the pages, I saw an article entitled BEATING THE ODDS, so I decided to read it since its topic seemed fecund and this was stated at the side of the title: A tricycle driver's son, 21-year-old Rhyan Andrade proves that poverty is no hindrance to getting the best education. He was graduated w/ honors from the Ateneo de Manila University with the double degree of BS Physics w/ computer engineering. Don't get me wrong with this, I'm not underestimating him but I thought it quite unthinkable that a tricycle driver's son would be able to study at the ADMU [this thought has gotten into my mind when I still haven't read the whole article]. Pero after reading it, it gave me a blast. He has always been a precocious kid, studying astronomy, the atmosphere & the solar system. A consistent honor student since he was in grade school. His dreams of studying in ADMU became possible when he applied for the TD scolarship that was being offered by the school [These lines had satisfied me and stopped me from wondering "why?what?"] Querubin, his father, is now a taxi driver, and his mother, Noida, a housewife. To sum everything up, I was inspired to EXCEL-->quite impossible, but who knows? :)
