Dear Ms. Rimando:

Pax!

My first year here in San Beda College Manila was certainly a great way to start off
my journey here in the institution. At lot a of adjustments were made transitioning from
high school to college but the Bedan community made it easier for me to settle down. I
consider my scholarship as one of the greatest blessings given to me by God, I am very
grateful to be granted this privilege. And what better way to thank the people helping
you than by giving your best in academics? During the first semester I attained a GPA
of 1.280 and was ranked 8
th
in the Accountancy Deans List. On the other hand, I got a
GPA of 1.417 during the second. I was able to exceed the maintaining grade of 1.75 for
our accounting subjects. I achieved the grade of 1.00 for ACC01 and 1.50 for ACC02. I
was also allowed to enter my second year in the accountancy program since I passed
the Professional Accountancy Program Admission Test (PAPAT), the qualifying exams
for incoming BSA sophomores.

But aside from academic excellence, I also discovered that college life should be
enjoyed to the fullest and that balancing academics and extracurricular activities is
possible. I have involved myself in the Bedan Musicians Guild, one of the many
organizations in San Beda that help students develop their God-given talents. I was
able to perform during BMGs second concert entitled Tunog Natin. It was an OPM
concert which showcased the best Filipino songs and pieces.

Next academic year, I aim to strive better in academics since the second year in
accountancy program is always the most difficult. I also aim to enjoy each day of my
stay here in the institution so that I could be a balanced, well-rounded person.

I will always be grateful for the scholarship I now have. I plan to inculcate excellence in
everything that I do for you, the people who support me, deserve to be thanked in the
best way possible!

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,
