“Sa mga working students, and sa mga mommies na until now ay nag-aaral pa, you’re doing a great job. Saludo ako sa inyo. Mahirap, oo. Pero kakayanin niyo yan.✨🙌 At sa mga mommies na gustong ipagpatuloy ang pag-aaral, huwag kayong matakot magsimula ulit. Hindi hadlang ang edad o pagiging nanay, para sa mga pangarap natin.
“Hindi magiging madali, pero tandaan ninyo, bawat module na natatapos, bawat exam na naipapasa, at bawat hakbang na ginagawa ninyo ay para sa mas magandang kinabukasan ninyo at ng inyong pamilya. ✨🙌🎓
“Patuloy Ang Pangarap⭐️.”
Her message quickly resonated with many of her followers, particularly working students and parents who face similar challenges while striving to complete their education.
Angeline earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree, majoring in Marketing Management. Her graduation serves as a reminder that personal goals can still be achieved despite the demands of a successful career and family life.
Parents have proved time and again that having a family is not a hindrance to pursuing personal ambitions, including finishing their studies. Many have shown that with determination, discipline, and the support of loved ones, it is possible to balance education, work, and parenthood.
Before Angeline, several celebrities successfully completed their college degrees while raising their families. These include Ruffa Gutierrez (AB Communication Arts), Valerie Concepcion (AB Psychology), Karla Estrada (BS Office Administration), Jodi Sta. Maria (BS Psychology), and Sunshine Cruz (AB Psychology).
Today, parents have more opportunities to complete their education through flexible learning options such as open universities and the Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP), allowing them to pursue their degrees while managing their careers and family responsibilities.
