Francisco was disappointed with his secondary school national exam grades, as things did not go like he wished for. He scored scored division IV (28). He and his parents almost gave up with his dream to study tourism career. After he volunteered for YCN, he was helped with the information and application to join the National College of Tourism. It was hard to convince his parents pay for college costs as he is from a family struggling for basic needs. It is our pleasure that he started his Diploma in Travel and Tourism from October 2024.
