Dear Mr. Eric Ariel Salas,
As always, there is one person that deserves my warmest gratitude and that is you.
Growing up in a broken family was not easy on my part. Heartaches, lack of love from a father and unbearable pains were experienced. I thought I cannot pursue my studies in college due to the fact that my family cannot afford to send me to school. My mother was the only one earning a living for my brother and I, while we were under the care of my grandmother.
But if there is a will, there is a way. I enrolled in CSCST-AIFC Argao Campus and luckily I was chosen as an Alumni Scholar of your Salas Foundation. My family was very happy for that blessing. My friends and classmates were even jealous because I had you as an ANGEL, always so supportive and kind.
My constant thoughts that time: “graduating in my chosen degree would be less of a prick now that I no longer think of where to get my tuition fees from first year to fourth year. All I have to do is to maintain the required grade. This scholarship is a great help for me and my family.”
March 14, 2004 was one of the most memorable days of my life — my college graduation. It was also a family reunion. My mother and brother came home and together we celebrated my big day. Not long after my graduation, I was hired as a public teacher. I am now almost 5 years in my profession. This would not be possible without the kindness and generosity of you, Mr. Eric Ariel Salas, and your family. I now have a job to look forward to every day. Also, this is the right time for me to start building my own dream.
Sir, you are so much a part of all that I am today. You are God’s good instrument. I thank Him for all the kindness and generosity you have shared with me. May God bless you in everything all through the coming years.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Michelle C. Albatana Entoma
