When he was still taking classes as a college student, Howard Chan still remember how difficult he worked in various jobs such as a service crew in a fast food restaurant in Baguio.

He still recalls how other people would make fun of his job. But he did not give up. After 8 years of determination, Chan successfully graduated with a degree and passed the Bar exam making him a lawyer. 

It is already hard to be a student, but what made it harder is the fact that he needed to work as well to support his studies. 

But later on, Chan decided to resign from work and good thing that his friend introduced him to become a virtual assistant which gave him the opportunity to focus more on his studies. 

Until now, Howard Chan could not believe that he is now a lawyer. It is the fruit of his never ending perseverance. 

Now that he has the chance, Howard would like to give back to the people and focus on the issue involving workers' rights specifically, "Contractualization".

Emotionally Reunion Of A Judge and A Former Classmate Who is Now A Burglary Suspect
We'll never know what is going to happen in the future. The nice kids could change and bad kids could be the most unexpected people. 

Just like what happened in a court in Miami-Dade, the judge reunited with a former classmate. They were joined together for a hearing.

Arthur Booth got arrested for stealing, fleeing and resisting arrest. He was then brought to the judge Mindy Glazer. 

They were both trying to recognize each other. Glazer said, "I have a question for you - did you go to Nautilus (middle school? 

Booth was shocked by the question, he then covered his head and tears started to fall as he mumbled the words, "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness."

Then the judge said that as far as she could remember, Booth was one of the nicest kid in the middle school. She remembered how they used to play football together. 

Glazer added, "I am so sorry to see you there. Mr. Booth, I hope you are able to change your ways, good luck to you. What's sad is how old we've become. Good luck to you sir, I hope you are able to come out of this okay and just lead a lawful life."

According to the incident report of the arrest, he was spotted on a Honda Accord which is involved in a home burglary. The officer tried to stop him but he drove off and a pursuit happened. 

Booth had a bond that was set at $43, 000. The authorities did not declare if Booth asked a help of an attorney or lawyer to defend his side.

Determined Young Boy Studying At A Sidewalk In Cebu, Philippines. Incredibly Inspiring!

Young Boy studying at a Sidewalk . INSPIRING!

If you want to attain a high goal like being an Attorney/Lawyer, you must be able to finish a degree first. And with that you must be hardworking and determined to reach for your dreams.

But here in the Philippines, where poverty is one of the main problems that the country is fighting against. A lot of children who do not have much are forced to study with what they have. 

Even if you have nothing, it is not supposed to be a hindrance to attaining your goals in life.


This photo of a young boy will surely melt your hearts because of his perseverance in studying. The photo was taken on a sidewalk in Cebu, Philippines. 

The photo of the boy who was eagerly studying on the sidewalk to finish a homework for his English subject was taken by Joyce Torrefranca and it has gone viral over the social media sites. 

It is really heartbreaking how this child studies in a noisy sidewalk with not enough lighting while some student who has the opportunity to study just wastes it. They do not realize what they have and they are taking it for granted. 

According to Joyce, "As a student it gave me an inspiration to work harder. I'm fortunate my parents were able to send me to school. I seldom go to coffee shops to study, but this kid just hit me. You really don't need much, you just have to be determined and focused on the things that you want to achieve. I hope that this kid will inspire millions of people."

This street child saves money for him to be able to study again

If you grew up in Manila, you might say that seeing street children is already part of everyone's day. Street children stays around Metro Manila asking for alms. But we can't deny the fact that people these days just don't know who to trust anymore because most of the street children spend their money for addictive drugs and solvents instead of spending it for food. But there's this kid who will really touch your heart once you knew his story.

He is Rommel Quemenales, an 11-year old street child who roams around Metro Manila together with his dog, Badgi to ask for alms. Rommel isn't like the other street children who's completely homeless. He lives in San Jose Del, Monte Bulacan. 

Rommel grew up without being taken care by anyone. His father fell in love with his coworkers and left him to be with his co-worker, just like what his father did, his mother also left them to be with her boyfriend.


The good thing is that he has someone with him now, he has his dog which he named Badgi. According to Rommel, he was really thankful to have Badgi because whenever there are other street children who would attempt to steal his earnings, Badgi will bark at them and scare them away. 

Although he is already in a tough situation of working hard to keep himself supported, he still managed to save money for his school supplies. Yes! You've read that right, Rommel is asking for alms, not to buy addictive drugs but to save it and use it to buy his school needs. According to him, he will be going to a public school in Bulacan next month and he already bought notebooks. 


At first, you might not believe with his stories, but as soon as you know him better, you will realize that this kid has big dreams. He wanted to have a degree someday and also wanted to be an actor. 

He also stated in his interview with "Coconuts Manila" that he's scared with barangay officials because whenever they see street children like him, they will get their earnings and claim that they will give it back to other people when in reality, they will just spend it for cigarettes.
“Nasanay na ako sa ganito kaya tinuloy-tuloy ko na. No choice naman ako para kumita ng pera,” Rommel said 
Whenever he has big savings, he goes home to Bulacan to visit his older sister and her husband. 

You see? Not everyone in this world thinks about what they want, others like Rommel thinks of what they want and then work hard to get it. 

If you have a good heart, help Rommel to attend his classes perfectly fine. Was he able to touch your heart? Share us your thoughts!

From being a street child to an Atenean Graduate

Rusty is now an Atenean Graduate

A lot of people are really determined and are very much willing to finish studies in a prestigious school, the only problem is that they do not have enough money to support their studies and to pay the fees in prestigious schools.

Just like this 20 year old man from Cagayan de Oro who was once a street child who's exposed to illegal drugs, illegal activities and poverty. But because of his determination to finish his studies he decided to give his best shot at Xavier University for a slot of scholarship in Ateneo de Cagayan which is his dream school. 

Although he wasn't sure if he's going to get a chance to get a slot for the scholarship he still did it anyway.

“We knew right there that he was different, that there was something about him,” one of the faculty at Xavier University said. 

In an interview for the scholarship, Rusty quickly asked if they could translate the interview in "Bisaya" because he cannot speak and understand English. He didn't even deny the fact that he didn't finish elementary and high school. The only thing he's holding on to is his diploma in Alternative Learning System. 

What caught the attention of the faculties is when Rusty entered the room with no pretensions at all, he didn't even pretend that he knows how to speak English, his only goal when he entered the room is to get a slot for the scholarship.

In 2010, Rusty was admitted to Xavier University with a scholarship. He decided to study Development Communication and major in Education Communication. He could not believe that he got in, much less become a scholar.

“I know that getting in is just the first step and I worried that I may never survive the first semester,’ Rusty said.

Rusty was really having a hard time on surviving at school. To sustain his education, he needed to work while studying. He needed money for his own needs and also for the photocopies needed for school.
