proud of my roots

I know I have posted something like this before but as a tribute to my alma mater who turns 100 this year, I am posting it again (hopefully, the answers don't change). A lot of times people would ask me why I'm so proud of UP. I don't know. I just am.

1. ANONG STUDENT NUMBER MO?
95-46126

2. NAKAPASA KA BA OR WAITLISTED?
Nakapasa naman po.

3. PAANO MO NALAMAN ANG ENTRANCE EXAM RESULT?
My parents were waiting for me at home and both of them had this "impish grin" on their faces when I entered the house. I was "what the?" is wrong here? I didn't have any inkling that the results were out primarily because I didn't know when they will be releasing it (promding promdi noh?). Then my mom blurted "How do you like going to college in Manila?" I was stunned, surprised and overwhelmed because with that question came the brown letter envelope confirming that I passed the UPCAT. Why did I assume right away? It was because I only took 1 college entrance exam and that's UP. I was scheduled to go to Manila for the entrance exams in UST but I decided not to anymore. Eh pasado nako sa dream school ko eh!
