We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Fr. Felicito B. Borres, SVD for donating a meaningful book that tells the stories of college students who graduated from programs that were not originally their choice. 📚

The book beautifully captures the journeys of students who initially followed the paths chosen by their parents or circumstances, yet later found the courage to pursue what truly gave them purpose and passion. It serves as a powerful reminder that every journey is unique, and sometimes discovering what we truly love comes through unexpected paths.

This generous donation will surely inspire students and readers who may also be searching for their direction and passion in life. Thank you for sharing a story that encourages reflection, courage, and the pursuit of one’s true calling.

Your support for learning is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Fr. Borres!
