Construction Worker’s Daughter Who Has Been A Scholar And a Dean’s Lister Inspires A Lot Of Netizens 

Cealline Griarte is a daughter of a construction worker. She made sure that she will graduate from college despite their poverty.

Griarte took up BSBA Major in Accounting at Jose Rizal University (JRU) in Mandaluyong City. She has been a scholar, since she was a salutatorian in high school and was given full scholarship by the school since they couldn’t afford the tuition. She is also a Dean’s Lister in this school and will graduate this March 2017 with flying colors. 

In her lengthy Facebook page, Griarte shared her inspiring story of her success. 

Griarte wrote: “Ako’y anak ng isang construction worker. Kahit kailan hindi ko ikinaila kung ano ang kalagayan ng buhay namin. Lumaki akong hindi nasusunod ang luho. Kung meron salamat at kung wala nagpapasalamat pa din ako dahil buo ang pamilya namin.” 

She recalled her scholarship application at JRU saying: “Naalala ko pa nung nag-apply ako for scholarship, ako lang mag-isa. Binyahe ko mula Binangonan hanggang JRU. Unang beses ko noon na bumyahe ng ganon kalayo ng mag-isa. Lakasan na lang ng loob. Wala, kailangan ko talaga e. Hanggang sa nagpasa ako ng requirements at dumating na ang interview.” 

Before, Griarte worked as a call center agent to help finance her studies and daily allowance but decided to give up the job after 8 months because of stress of work and schooling at the same time.

Then, Griarte worked as as student assistant in their library but on her last semester, Griarte said she need to focus on her on-the-job training.
