The disappointment of the young Filipino in noting that no family members went to support him.
Jericho Rivas he is a bright young student. He lives in San José del Monte, Philippines and his story about him has gone viral in the last few days. An exemplary student, he graduated as the best student in his class at Concepción College. But the result was not only for the good, but on the contrary: no one in the family had to give him the diploma to his degree in Criminology and the young man began to cry, disconsolate.
“I felt a mixture of happiness and sadness again. I looked to the right, I looked to the left, and behind and in front, all I saw were happy faces smiling. I felt my tears fall, I sat next to him. I was envious, “wrote Rivas in a post on Facebook.
“One of my teachers was standing on the stage waiting for me and hugged me. Even though that moment took away some of my sadness, I ended up crying in front of everyone, ”commented Rivas.
The young man was welcomed by the teachers, but there were no relatives during the meal.
Despite what happened, the young man has indicated that he does not hold a grudge, even if it is not the first time that he has been abandoned in such a special moment. “To my parents, who still couldn’t accept me in their life, if you’re reading this, this is me now and I hope I made you proud “reported in the publication.
Although the causes are unclear, the young man has never had family support. In fact, even in other quotes, he was not supported by his relatives.
He claimed that, as a child, he received a medal in school for being the best in his class, but since his parents did not come to support him, he never bothered to take the stage to accept his award.
Jeric Rivas finished his criminology degree, but the celebration was bittersweet.
During another ceremony, Jeric convinced one of his friends to send his parents with him.
And on his graduation, the man said he tried to walk confidently when his name was called on stage, but she ended up bursting into tears when she realized her parents hadn’t shown up.
The student worked in a factory, was a fast food employee and cleaner during his time at university, and was even helped by kindhearted professors who were aware of his situation and they helped him by providing accommodation and other needs.
