CENTRAL MINDANAO UNIVERSITY

BSHE FBM (FPO) Student Success Story

One of the most important things in my life is by praying the Almighty God for guiding me
all the time. My name is Mylene A. Villa I am 22 years old, graduated from Central Mindanao
University class 2019. Since in the year 2015 I was enrolled from the college of Art and Sciences
with the course Bachelor of Science in Mathematics during that second semester there are lot of
things that I encounter specially to my instructor for being humble to teach us in a random way
in such a way to easily understand and comprehend their lesson hence I will strive to study well
even I get a low score in math but suddenly I decided to shift another course that suitable my
ability and passion which is Bachelor of Science in Home Economics Food Business
Management Food Processing Option, of course is not easy for me for having a new classmates,
friends and instructor whereas I’m very grateful even I’m a shifte student I can stand my own
way. Besides I’m not afraid my second course I know this is my passion for knowing all strategy
in business, process of food this is my desire since when I was my secondary level and maybe
my first course it wasn’t sure taken that was the time I’m not ready for college I didn’t know all
the course in CMU and also no one guiding me there and I am the one to seek and find the
school where I want to study that’s why I feel independent with my parents.

In year 2016 some of my subjects I got removal specially in chemistry I feel hopeless this
time but I know God is always here so I trust myself what I make is to study and review all the
topics with the praying of God, when the day to start the removal exam I answer all the types of
questions like summary, and case analysis it is very hard for me because you can think maybe it
is passed or failed, after the exam our instructor told us that he will post the grades by tomorrow
so I felt nervous I can’t sleep enough until morning the time our instructor has already post the
grade when I was saw my grades I'm so thankful that I made passed even it is 3.0 but I’m so glad
I can’t retake the subject.
 When I was in third year college almost of my subjects are major with having a laboratory of
course I expected a lot of expenses my allowance for I week is not enough specially for our
Product Development I spent more money during analysis of my product there are many trials
and error even back to normal again spent more money yet until to have a final output for having
to passed this subject so what I do I direct to eat rice instead of snack to save my money and my
personal thing not all I can buy and I sacrifice all circumstances for brings my life better.

During my four years to study in CMU I woke up early to fixed the things and prepare a
breakfast and I always sleep at midnight thus for studying there are many exam, making
assignment and reporting so I got stress wakeful and I can’t eat on time because of the schedule I
have in class but in the end endeavor to achieve a goal make all efforts for the future that’s why I
officially graduated now during my tenure in CMU as student in particularly I developed into a
strong and a wise woman I faced all challenges I still made it through my family and someone
who supporting me financially and spiritually throughout the four years course and believed in
me. It was not only about them paying for my education, it was the amount of faith that they had
in me, and to all member of ESGP-PA / TES scholarship I’m the one of them thank you very
much for giving this opportunity to sustain our needs in school, this is the most valuable gift that
anyone has ever given me. Without this I’m hard bitten my credit specially in boarding house
and during my OJT at Tagbilaran City I spent a big money of their particularly in boarding
house, transportation, and other important expenses that I need to pay. My life was so terrible
because I got sick for two weeks sometimes I cry no one care you and away for my parents all
the time there I feel sorrow but I resolve all of this problem.

My instructor, classmates, friends, board mates and other people who always there for me you
became part of my experience a lot of challenges we faced along the way I felt content and safe
and always willing to help me this made me realize that success does not only give you a
financial support but it also offers emotional and psychological support through my colleagues.
All my sacrifices, hard work, and stressed this is the reason what I have now is to finished my
study I’m so blessed by the God thus all my praying are fulfilled.
