Rene Arpon, who just obtained a bachelor's degree in education at the Visayas State University Villaba in Leyte, plans to take the Licensure Examination for Teachers next.
These are the inspirational words of #ProudViscan Rene D. Arpon, who received his hard-earned diploma at the age of 55 during the 44th commencement exercises of the Visayas State University Villaba held on July 24.
At his age, Arpon proved that nothing is impossible for someone who is a dreamer and who continues to work on achieving his dreams. “Well, I’m very happy and thankful to God first and foremost. Nagpasalamat ko sa ahoang pamilya, nag-support gyud sila bisan sa among kalisod. Ikaduha, sa among kauban sa barangay kay wa ko nila tangtanga bisa’g nag-eskwela ko. Bisan busy [ko], nisabot gyud sila, ni suporta kanako,”Arpon added that he struggled most during the pandemic when face-to-face classes were shifted to modular learning where he needed to exert extra physical work to send and retrieve regularly his class output.
One of his children, Antonet Arpon-Menoria posted a congratulatory message to her father on Facebook where she paid tribute to her father’s determination to obtain his college degree.
