Education is for Everyone

Krisselle Atienza, 31, was 8 together with her brother when they started selling dried fish to their community in Hagonoy, Bulacan. She worked hard to earn income for her family. Supporting her parents and three siblings compelled her to stop schooling and find jobs.

Her father is a hardworking fisherman. This serves as their source of income and was able to sustain their daily needs. Her father always did his very best to support the family.

For her, education is really important because it is the primary key for every individual to cultivate skills and talents, to be more educated, to land any job whether local on international and most significantly to be successful someday.

“To all the children with the same experience as mine: Always remember that education and perseverance is the best way in reaching the peak of success that you want. Sometimes you will fail, you will feel discouraged and you will get tired but never give up” Kristina said.
