As a student, who would not want to have
good grades There’s no other great satisfaction
than to see your grades all in the line
of 1. I know it’s not that easy to achieve. It
takes a lot of hard work and endless days
and nights of studying. But you can if you
will. It’s just a matter of setting up priorities,
knowing your capacity, and believing in
yourself. Some may excel in academics because
of the innate intelligence they inherited
from their parents so it’s easy for them to
handle all their subjects. Some may also excel
in academics through their efforts and determination
in order to become an excellent
student. Lucky for this 20-year-old achiever,
May Christine Aguilar, to have these factors
all in one. Her inherited intelligence plus her
determination and intrinsic motivation made
her way to excel in the field of academics.
May Christine, also known as Mec Mec by
her friends, showed her potentials of being
an achiever by the time she started going to
school. She was accelerated from Kinder I
to Grade 1. During her elementary years, she
became a consistent first honor and graduated
as the class valedictorian at Sebac Elementary
School. “It feels good every time
you were at the stage, given ribbons and medals
and seeing your parents proud of you”,
she said with a big smile. At first, receiving
gifts as rewards from her parents served as
her motivation to excel and be in the honors
list always. But then an unexpected event
happened that made her become more motivated
to excel in her studies. That’s when
her father died because of a blood disease.
She can still remember the last moment her
father hanged the medal to her neck during
her fourth grade Recognition Day. Seeing her
mother greatly affected with the incident, it
became her intrinsic motivation to make her
mother proud of her through performing
best in academics. She believed that in that
way she can help her mother to be happy
and move on with their lives.
During her high school years, she continued
her habit on studying and be on top of the
class. She remained a consistent first honor
and received the highest award as the class
