This story gives a different meaning to being a “working
student.”
Full time working student Francis Jan Ax Valerio is someone
worth to be idolized, because he is graduating Summa Cum Laude from Adamson
University.
He was first known to netizens in 2020 when a picture of him
went viral when he briefly stopping his delivery motorcycle on the side of the
road to attend an online class while doing his deliveries. The same year he
received a laptop from Adamson’s administrators who learned about his
situation.
On Wednesday, July 13, Valerio posted an update on Facebook
as he proudly shared photos of himself, a certificate, and a medal, announcing
that he had finished his degree in communications with flying colors.
(I was in high school
when I first realized how tough life is. Back then, I used to sell sticky rice
cakes and graham balls at school. I also did my classmates’ assignments and
activities in exchange for small amounts of money for my school allowance.)
Aside from being a delivery rider, he also worked as a part time virtual
assistant,fast food crew,call center agent and other jobs so as to make ends
meet.
“Hindi naging madali ang lahat. Magdeliver umaraw man o
umulan, mapuyat sa gabi para pumasok sa isa pang trabaho, sabay na din dun
‘yung paggawa ng mga school works,” he said.
(Everything
was never easy. Doing delivery runs rain or shine, staying up at night to go to
another job, plus doing my school works.)
Valerio cannot hold back his tears when he learned he will
graduate with latin honors.
“Sulit ang pagbibilad sa ilalim ng tirik na araw, sulit lahat
ng luha kasabay ng pagbyahe sa gitna ng malalakas na ulan, sulit lahat ng puyat
maipasa lang ang mga kailangan ipasa sa eskwela,” he said.
