Young actress Awra Briguela expresses gratitude to Vice Ganda for being part of her academic achievement.
Awra Briguela not only slays on the internet and in showbiz, but is also winning in academics!
In a recent Instagram post, the young actress proudly announced her graduation from senior high school under the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) strand.
Alongside her radiant graduation photos, Awra penned a heartfelt message about her inspiring academic journey.
"Gusto ko lang magpasalamat sa lahat ng taong naniwala at nagtiwala sa akin, lalo na sa sarili kong minsang inakala na hindi ko kaya," she wrote.
Awra then looked back on the challenges she faced after taking a five-year break from school due to the pandemic.
"Akala ko, napag-iwanan na ako. Nahuli pa ako ng halos dalawang buwan sa pasukan. Ang dami kong kinailangang habulin, pero pinili kong lumaban. Pinatunayan ko sa sarili ko na kaya ko, at ang pagdududa lang talaga ang kalaban."
While it was initially awkward to fit in with her classmates, she eventually formed meaningful friendships that helped her reach the finish line.
Awra also expressed deep gratitude to those who supported her, especially mentor and manager Vice Ganda.
"Isa po kayo sa mga dahilan kung bakit ko narating ang lahat ng ito. Kung hindi niyo po siguro sinabi na naniniwala kayo sa akin, baka hindi rin ako naniwala sa sarili ko na kaya ko. Pangako, hindi ko po kayo bibiguin," she said to the It's Showtime host.
The young actress reflected on her past mistakes but emphasized her commitment to learning and growing from them.
"Alam kong hindi ako perpekto. Nagkakamali rin ako. Pero hindi ko hahayaang ang mga pagkakamali ko ang magpakilala kung sino ako. Hangga't may pagkakataong bumangon, babangon ako at pipiliing itama ang mali.
"Malayo pa ang lalakbayin ko sa kolehiyo, pero mabilis lang ang panahon. Nangako ako, sa sarili ko at sa mga taong naniniwala sa akin na lalo ko pang paghuhusayan ang pag-aaral."
Looking ahead to college, Awra vowed to work even harder.
"Ang dating mindset na 'okay na basta makapasa,' hindi na pwede ngayon. Sipag at tiwala sa sarili lang ulit at alam kong magagawa ko ulit 'to."
Awra's post drew love and support from netizens and celebrities alike, including Heart Evangelista, Zeinab Harake, Ivana Alawi, and Sue Ramirez.
Earlier this year, Awra also shared a proud moment showing Vice Ganda her grades. It was a proof of how much the Unkabogable Star has influenced her academic journey. During Vice's 49th birthday, Awra also publicly expressed her love and gratitude. She even promised to repay the kindness one day when she finished her studies.
