Looking back at those years, I have grown and learned so much from Far Eastern Private School and it was one of the best times in my life. Having been a high school student at FEPS was not that easy at first. As a transferee, I had to make a few adjustments. There were challenges and failures along the way but with the help and support of FEPS educators, I was able to discover myself more and become a better person. It made me an individual who is persistent, enthusiastic, and has worked hard to accomplish a specific goal. As a student with honors, I was also given so many opportunities to show my abilities and skills in extracurricular activities wherein I was able to participate in different contests. I will always be grateful to be a part of Far Eastern Private School and I am a Proud FEPSian!

“Take on challenges and opportunities, but don’t lose yourself on the way. It’s a tough road out there, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.” I would like to encourage the younger generation to be fearless and to not lose hope, especially during these challenging times. We won’t know how long this will last, but don’t let go of your dreams and aspirations. So long as you know where you are headed, you will surely find your way there. We are all diamonds in a rock, and whatever obstacles are thrown at us shape and mold us into becoming the person we aspire to be. Keep moving- rest, but don’t stop.
