Back in college, this teacher of mine made the effort of tutoring me three hours the day prior to each exam, from 7pm to 10pm, because I couldn’t attend class all the time. I was a working student at the time, and a young dad of two little kids. If it wasn’t for her dedication towards teaching and her kindness, I would not have graduated from the University of the Philippines College of Architecture, and I would not have had any of the professional success I enjoy today. Thanks again, ma’am Clarina. You and Prof. Topsie Tupas count amongst the educators I truly look up to. Well deserved, and congratulations!!! 🙂
