Success over Adversity: Treasure after Grace

Passionate, persevering, and hope-giver!

Soaring like an eagle is a dream which does fly and come true.

Reality will finally do come, if working for what you hope to see is planted in life.

All her life, she would say, “I dreamed for this to come. Now it’s real and true for having faith with work ahead is a real sense of seeing the real dream come true.”


Love for education was seen in a woman. Poverty yes again, have crossed her good vision in life. She was able to step up to the secondary at The Colleges of the Republic and finished Bachelor of Elementary Education Major in Science. Sadness and happiness did cry out loud in the wilderness of her life. As the night of questions fall like stars if her vision would still be grasped. Realization came into her mind that there’s joy in the deepest pain, because for her, the good Lord does have better plans. Talents gifted in her from birth as dated as this woman came from a family of teachers and like a branch of a tree, she grew up in different directions, yet roots remain as one.

 

“In everything you do, do your best.” as her favorite line to acclaim with the conviction of “it reflects who you are and what you are”.

 “Who is this person?” the question does arise, “Is it a myth or a legend of a tale so old as time?” But reality would speak as historians preserve facts in time. She’s no other than Aileen De Fiesta Fernandez of our very own Abar 1st Elementary School. Married to her king, Roderick graced with brilliant kids Mart Lester and Charice.

 Ma’am Aileen gives hope to our school in our present time, but comes to serious emotions when lack of appreciation to education is seen on the young. Not an actress for her popular smile rather a real person with her dedication and joyful heart to love the real treasure which last for many times.


One thing she wished to say: “After God and family, education is the only treasure you’ll surely save”. With open heart you will see how blessed you are to have them in your life.  They are the light that shines your path in some dark phases of life that sometimes reminding you that success may be hiding behind those adversities that we encounter, encouragement in the eye of a stranger that we just met at an unexpected place, and lesson to an imperfect relationship with few others. Just don’t give up and don’t lose hope. Every memory becomes a golden grace to us when we live with happiness and faith with – a BIG DREAM.
