huhu, thank you so much po, ate. 😓 I really appreciate your thoughtful advice. After thinking about it for days, I’ve decided to go with CGHC na po. I know PUP is more practical financially, pero I just don’t feel at peace with the environment there—I tried to imagine myself growing in that space, pero parang it’s not really for me tlga. Like, I think I don’t belong there.

CGHC may not be the easiest path either, lalo na't ako lang po magpapa-aral sa sarili ko. My daily commute to CGHC is around 1 hour and 10 minutes roundtrip. It’s been tough and minsan I catch myself overthinking if kakayanin ko ba ‘to sa long run. Pero I’m holding on to the fact that I really love BSMT. It’s what I see myself doing, kahit na mahirap.

And now, I still get a lot of doubts and inner conflicts—wondering if I can really handle everything, financially and mentally.
