Then and Now: A Tale of Two Semesters, 22 Years Apart

Back in 2002, I was a wide-eyed scholar at UP Diliman’s College of Engineering. My grades then? Let’s just say they were a mix of “almost there” and “not quite.” Fast forward to 2024, now in my 40s, I’m back in school at Caraga State University, a state university tucked away in the province, with facilities and equipment that are, frankly, nowhere near as advanced as my first alma mater. And yet, here I am—with a GPA of 1.19.

What changed? Certainly not the years on the calendar. It was me. My mindset. My motivation. And maybe the realization that agroforestry, crop science, and animal science were more aligned with who I am now.

This is a story to remind everyone—students, parents, teachers, and especially my fellow “old dogs” out there—that grades don’t define you. What defines you is how you respond to challenges, how you adapt, and how you keep going. When you’re in the right place, with the right purpose, it’s amazing how you can shine—even if you didn’t the first time around.

To the students today, I say this: life isn’t a straight line. Sometimes it takes years to find your footing. And even then, success doesn’t look the same for everyone. It’s not about where you start; it’s about where you’re willing to go.

And to my fellow “old dogs” out there? It’s never too late to learn new tricks. If I can keep pace with students 20 years younger than me—and maybe even outrun them in some cases—you can too. Age isn’t a limit. It’s experience. Use it.

Here’s to never stopping, never settling, and always striving to be better than we were yesterday.
