I am deeply honored to receive the Best Research Poster Award (1st Category โ Conceptual Studies and Assessment) at the ๐๐๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง (๐๐๐๐๐๐), hosted by the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) in collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology โ Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI), Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU), and University of the Philippines College of Education (UPCEd) held in Los Baรฑos, Laguna.
This achievement is not mine aloneโit reflects the collective support, guidance, and inspiration of the people and institutions who have been part of my journey. My heartfelt gratitude to the DOST SEIโCBPSME Scholarship for the opportunity, to Benguet State University โ College of Teacher Education for their support and cooperation, my current home, Pangasinan State University, for their unwavering support and understanding and to Central Luzon State University (CLSU)โwhere I completed my Master of Science degree and where my advisory committee continues to guide me, headed by my adviser and Dean of College of Science, Dr. Angel De Leon , Dr. Rhodora Inocencio Dela Rosa, Dr. Eden Salvador- David , our department chair in Science Education Dr. Edwin Ibanez and for always reminding me, thank you also Dr. Rosario Quicho
The journey wasnโt easyโmarked by rescheduled defenses, numerous revisions, and moments of doubtโbut each challenge strengthened my resilience and deepened my sense of purpose.
I learned that behind every milestone is a mosaic of patience, persistence, and people who believed in the vision when it was still a work in progress.
This recognition reminds me that growth often blooms through challengesโand that perseverance, faith, and community can turn even the hardest chapters into meaningful victories. ๐ฟ
