'Achievement,' it sounds like receiving medals, certificates, and awards. But, behind this narrative—it's more than that.
On the formal occasion of Kolehiyo ng Pantukan's 13th Crème de la Crème—Dr. Nitchell A. Acedillo, the Acting College President, purposely delivered a remarkable message that serves as motivation for those Dean's Listers and non-academic student awardees who were also recognized as KNPians' 'Best of the Best' at the said event this July 03, 2025.
Full of inspiration, she expressed that being an achiever doesn't only surround gaining multiple material rewards—rather, it also signifies your resilience, perseverance, hard work, dedication, and passion to achieve things while also accepting failures.
"You just have to embrace challenges as opportunities to grow and achieve greatness," she said.
Therefore, with certificates in hand and medals hang near the heart, the awarded students were on their attentive senses while absorbing those uplifting words, which purposely expand more their viewpoint in life.
"Remember, success is not just about grades or medals or certificates, but about the courage to pursue your dreams, the resilience to overcome challenges, and the commitment to make a positive impact in the world," the Acting College President added.
Truly, this just proved to anyone that achievement is not just all about the awards or any material things you received; it's not all about the spotlight, it cuts more deeply than that—it also highlights the darkest setbacks and obstacles you tried and hoped to overcome—the kind of achievement you don't need but you have to receive.
