Entrance exam

My daughter will be in college next year, but this early we are scouting for universities where she can take an entrance test. I am a product of a state university and I wish my daughter will be able to enjoy the benefits of studying in one, including the subsidized tuition fee. I still remember paying less than $15 every semester. I’m also looking at this state university in Quezon City. Hubby and I wish that we can send one (or both) of our children there. I’m reading related information about this school and I’m glad that one of my friends whose daughter is studying in the same university is generous to share tips on how we can prepare for the entrance test.

I’m also considering other schools in Manila and checking on their websites and affiliate program to know the schedule of their entrance test come June or July.

School supplies

It’s school supplies shopping season once again. But we’re not thinking about going shopping yet. I have to wait until next month to enroll the kids. I won’t need any list as we have been buying the same stuff every year (notebooks, pad paper, pencil and pen, bond paper, colors and coloring pens, plastic cover, pair of scissors, etc.). My daughter may need a new bag this year. She prefers backpack because it is convenient for carrying all her school stuff. My friends recommend Marmot Hiking Backpacks so I’m going to check for it on our next visit to the mall.

Graduation 2012

Parents with kids who graduated from school are floating on cloud nine these days. All their hard work and commitment to send their children to school have paid off. I can so relate to all of them because I have a son who graduated from Grade 6 and a daughter who completed third year high school. It’s overwhelming to see them walk up on stage to receive their diploma and awards. Even parents who are based abroad would never pass the chance of sharing that special moment with their kids even through teleconferencing services. That’s the beauty of the internet; you will never miss an important occasion with your family no matter how many miles you are apart from each other.

For my kids: Seeing you both accomplished something for yourselves means that we have done something right in raising the two of you. We love you guys!
