I graduated from Holy Ghost College (now College of the Holy Spirit) with a degree in B.S.Chemistry. I taught Algebra, Physics and Geometry at Maryknoll Fathers’ High School in my hometown of Pakil, Laguna for 3 years. I then relocated to Manila and accepted another teaching position at the Philippine Women’s University Middle Division. In 1974, my family migrated to the United States of America, and I was employed at Shell Oil Company in California as a chemist until I retired in 2002. I’m happy to say my husband and I were blessed with four children (2 boys and 2 girls) and 5 grandchildren. With the school’s academic standards, I learned to excel with discipline in all my school work. I developed a wellrounded personality through music, dances, school plays, and other school activities. Without the strict but excellent supervision of the Superior and nuns, I will not be where I am today. St.Scholastica’s College had become the spine and strength of my goal in life and so, I was able to walk in the avenue of success. I owe it to my Alma Mater, St. Scholastica’s College.
