Thank you note: To Kidapawan City National High School

We all grow up somewhere. It isn’t so much the place we were born as it is to the place to become of age. The place where our strength and weaknesses are first exposed our interest and prejudices gets discovered and developed. A series of small worlds we used to live in that brought us to where and who we are today. Worst for the most part is we couldn’t wait for the part to be done with and move on from.

I want to thank my high school alma mater principal Mrs. Rosalinda Lonzaga, Mrs. Helen Java, Mrs. Corazon Aala, Mrs. Elizabeth Vinson and Mr. Jezreel Estelloso and Ms. Janaica Pagal for the support during our Cebu Goes Culinary Competition and I'm proud to say that we won Gold in the Dress the Cake: live competition with the theme Halloween at Waterfront Hotel and Casino last July 22, 2010.

It is one of my proudest moments to graduate in college with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management major in Food and Beverage and to offer my achievements to God and to my parents for whom I wouldn’t be able to accomplish these with out them. But most importantly to my dearest High school teachers whom every step of the way was there to teach us, a building block of interconnecting fundamental knowledge that we certainly needed during our college days. I know that I was not the brightest student in the class only diligent enough to always be present, silently scribbling notes from the board, listening to discussions and to always do my best in what life has to offer. Thank you so much for the journey that I have stayed for 4 years in high school and it will be one of my fondest memories of my youth.
