Fueling ambition with hard work and dedication, this recognition celebrates a milestone in my academic and leadership journey. Awarded by the Society for the Welfare of Information Technology Students (SWITS), the honor stands as a beacon of resilience, gratitude, and inspiration.
On November 17, 2022, I was humbled and elated to receive the prestigious “Outstanding BSIT Student Award” during the SWITS Alab Awards at Valencia Hall, as part of the 12th IT Congress: Virtuous Reality – The Rebirth of Power-users into Trailblazers. This recognition, presented by the Society for the Welfare of Information Technology Students (SWITS), is a testament to the perseverance and dedication I’ve poured into my studies and leadership roles as a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology student at Bulacan State University. Sharing this moment with my supportive classmates from BSIT 3D, my friends, and my beloved family made it all the more special. I owe this achievement to the unwavering encouragement of my professors and advisers, particularly Ma’am Josephine R. Bayonito and Ma’am Teresita Mangahas, and to my parents, Dheng Almario Tayao and Rommel A. Tayao, whose sacrifices and love continue to inspire me. Above all, I dedicate this triumph to the glory of God Almighty, whose guidance lights my path.
“Dedication ignites the flame of achievement, and gratitude keeps it burning bright.”
This quote resonates deeply with my journey to this accomplishment. It was not merely the pursuit of recognition but the unwavering passion and resilience that fueled my desire to excel. Every challenge, from rigorous academic tasks to leadership responsibilities, was an opportunity to grow, learn, and serve. Gratitude played an essential role in sustaining my motivation. Recognizing the contributions of those who supported me reinforced the importance of community and collaboration.
This experience has profoundly shaped my personal growth, teaching me the values of resilience, leadership, and gratitude. It has also strengthened my belief in the power of teamwork and the importance of recognizing the efforts of others. By sharing my story, I hope to inspire others to chase their dreams, no matter how daunting the journey may seem, and to cherish the people who stand by them through thick and thin.
In conclusion, this award is more than just a milestone—it is a reflection of hard work, faith, and the support of a community that believes in the power of potential. May it inspire others to rise above challenges, nurture their passions, and strive to leave a meaningful legacy in their pursuits. Together, we blaze trails, light paths, and inspire greatness.
