UP Summa Cum Laude just sweet sixteener!

At an age when I was just about to enter college, this bright girl just finished hers! And yes, she finished with a whopping GWA of 1.099 in BS Physics. (Uhm, can I faint for a few minutes?)

More interesting facts about Mikki here.

Read the complete speech of Mikki entitled Take not the road less traveled in the UP Diliman site. I quote the speech in part:

Do NOT just be strong in your convictions, for strength is not enough.

Instead, DEFY the pressure to lead a comfortable, but middling life. Let us
lead this country from the despair of mediocrity. Let us not seek to do well,
but strive to EXCEL in everything that we do. This, so others will see us as a
nation of brains of the highest quality, not just of brawn that could be had for
cheap.

Take NOT the road less traveled. Rather, MAKE new roads, BLAZE new trails,
FIND new routes to your dreams. Unlike the track-beaters in campus who see where they're going, we may not know how far we can go.
