I would like to share to you a story of a wonderful woman....
A woman who started her early life with pure sacrifice and constant determintation.
In her pursuit for success, she armored a variety of characteristics that maintained her resiliency.
She has become a TEACHER remembered by most..
“Teaching is something I love to do for life. In all, there is a potent force that pushes us to influence others..... And that is teaching. I hope to remain a teacher while I spend my productive years in service to others.”
She has influenced her subordinates into a workplace not only made for "work" but for happiness and togetherness. She is born a LEADER.
"Things are not what they see, at times. But, if you remain true to yourself even if others are not, then you will always be happy with where you are at. Keep a happy heart always. And contribute to the total well-being of the world."
She doesn't stop from learning each day and always wanted to be taught. She fulfilled her passion in acting and performing in the theatere world. Who would ever forget "Sister Martha?"
"If one feels so strongly about something, he works for it with all of his might."
On very memorable events, she has captured our attention with her song and dance numbers. She is a total PERFORMER.
"My father is a great singer. I thank God for his genes."
When she begins to talk about how we can be serious about life, you can't get off your chair or you will otherwise if she's in the groove to crack her never ending punchlines. She is nontheless, the BEST SPEAKER.
Above her greatest achievements, she remained at the feet of humility and gratitude to our Creator and to those who have molded her dreams. She was never greedy in sharing a part of herself to everyone.
In all, she has become our MOTHER... SISTER... MENTOR... GUIDE...
She has portrayed a lot of roles, but, the best part of being a Ma'am Ana is...
SHE HAS BECOME A "FRIEND"... and this is how she would want to be remembered.
To her, "to connect back is a humble act that brings people together... to where they had been--- as FRIENDS in heart and mind."
Our years in this institution were spent with a woman who stood through the tests of a lifetime... Today, when we celebrate our success as one body, we also celebrate her BIRTH, the birth of one beautiful person who continues to shine in our hearts. This is her DAY and let us share this wonderful moment with her......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MA'AM ANA!!!!
