Kim Chiu Graduates From High School


Despite her busy showbiz schedules, Kapamilya's hottest young actress Kim Chiu has realized one of her dreams by graduating from high school recently through alternative learning studies.

She was teary-eyed when she gave her commencement exercise speech. “Lagi nating tatandaan na ang kahalagahan ng buhay ay hindi lang natin mararating sa ating sarili. Libre hong mangarap...pinangarap kong makapagtapos ng pag-aaral at ito, natapos ko na kaya congratulations po sa ating lahat,” she said.

She related how her grandmother wished for her to finish school even while she's in show business.

Ang sarap ng pakiramdam. Ayan na siya. Parang ang saya niya. Ang tagal ko nang gustong maka-graduate. Ito talaga ‘yung pinangarap ng lola ko sa akin bago ako pumasok ng showbiz, sana matapos ako kahit high school man lang. And eto na, may gift na ako sa kanya,” she said.

Earning a high school diploma entailed a lot of hard work and sacrifices for Kim, who juggled school work with taping, shooting, guesting schedules.

‘Pag dinner break nag-aaral na lang or after kong basahin ‘yung buong script nagbabasa na lang ako ng mga lessons ko. Kapag walang work nag-aaral ako, ganyan, nagre-review para sa exam.

Kim wanted to prove something to herself, that “hindi biro ‘yung showbiz to education.

She rationalized how she was driven to pursue her studies.

Parang ang baba ng tingin sa akin ng mga tao. Parang easy money, ang dali so hindi na sila nag-aral. Sabi nila parang ang bobo-bobo or walang pinag-aralan, ganyan. Pero ako, gusto ko ipakita na nag-aaral din naman kami. May mga pangarap din naman kami na makapagtapos.
Kim intends to pursue a business course in college.
