PHILIPPINES –\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Hailing from Zamboanga del Sur in Mindanao, Adrian S. Mandawe, ranked nine in the most recent Criminology Licensure exam<\/a> last November 2019.<\/span>
\nThe 21-year-old graduate from Western Mindanao State University-Pagadian External Studies Unit proved that with perseverance, nothing is impossible.<\/span>
\nAdrian came from a family with scarce resources. His father was a farmer tilling for a land which is not theirs, which makes life really hard for the family. Out of seven siblings, Adrian was the sixth, and the only one to earn a college degree.<\/span>
\nNow, not only was he the first to have a professional license, but he also got it in a fancy way by ranking number nine in the recent Criminology Licensure exam.<\/span><\/p>\n

I aimed to get the top 1 spot in the Criminology Licensure Exam<\/span><\/h2>\n

In an interview with Adrian, he said:<\/span><\/p>\n

When I was taking the exams in Cagayan de Oro last November, one thing was on my mind, aim for the top one spot.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes! This guy really has guts. Not only was he aiming to pass, but he was aiming to be top one.<\/span>
\nHe might not have reached his goal, at least he was part of the top ten of that batch. Just like the saying goes:<\/span><\/p>\n

Aim small, miss small.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Only 15 days in the review center<\/span><\/h2>\n

Adrian admitted that his family could not afford to take on a full period for the review center. So what he did was to study on his own for 12 hours a day for a good five months.<\/span>
\nJust when the licensure exam was getting close, his family just had enough to enroll him for a class review, which is good for 15 days. His five months of self-review was well reciprocated by the 15 days he spent with the review center. The 15-day review cost them around $160 (P8000).<\/span>
\nLacking in a formal review but compensated with the immense hard work made Adrian succeed in passing the Criminology Licensure exam.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was the first professional in the family, and I want to use this accomplishment to uplift our family’s way of living.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adrian shared that he didn’t have any vices. He had a strong faith in God and believed that through hard work, sacrifices, and staying in focus on your goals would make achieve what you long for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aim high since dreaming is free<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
