Many Cebuano students find themselves studying majors they don’t truly want due to financial constraints or family expectations. For instance:
- Ky Montero, a first-year student in Elementary Education, had to forego her dream of studying Nursing because of financial issues. She chose her current program to be practical and honor her late grandfather’s wish.
- Stephanie, studying Physical Education, was encouraged by her family to pursue this field instead of her passion for Psychology. Despite her discontent, she remains grateful for the opportunity to continue her education and advises others to advocate for their true interests.
These students reflect on the sacrifices they make and the challenges of pursuing their dreams within their financial limits.
