Naniniwala po ako na karapat-dapat akong maging OWWA scholar dahil anak ako ng isang OFW na nagsasakripisyo sa ibang bansa para sa aming kinabukasan. Ang pagiging scholar ay hindi lang para sa akin, kundi para rin sa aking ina na araw-araw nagtitiis ng lungkot at pagod para mabigyan kami ng magandang buhay. Handa po akong pagbutihin ang aking pag-aaral at patunayan na sulit ang tiwala ng OWWA. Ito po ay hindi lang tulong pinansyal, kundi isang inspirasyon para sa mga tulad kong anak ng OFW na mangarap at magsikap para sa magandang bukas.
Sana makapasok po Ako Ng scholarship dahil farmer lang Ang kinabuhayan namin
