Kapamilya actress Jodi Sta. Maria shares how she’s determined to acquire a college degree despite her age and an already stable career in the show business.
According to Jodi, education remains a top priority in her life. She once tried to finish her studies while being an actress but her hectic schedule got in the way.
“It has always been a dream of mine to pursue a medical degree but then a few years back it was not parang possible kasi di ba we cannot serve two masters at the same time. Parang I find it physically and mentally taxing to do both, acting and studying, kasi that time na-try ko siya pareho,” she said.
She also recalled that she promised herself right after high school graduation that she will pursue college but circumstances became a hindrance.
“After finishing high school I jumped my way to college and got medical biology unfortunately I wasn’t able to finish it because of the demands of school and work and I also have responsibilities and obligations with my family so parang na set aside lang siya,” she revealed.
Never too late
Jodi might have a lot on her plate right now, she continues to believe that one day this dream would finally be achieved.
“I did not fully let go of that dream and I prayed to God if it in His will, I know one day in His perfect time He will still open the door for me to finish my schooling.”
In fact, she’s happy to announce that her faith has led her to an institution that will assist her on her education.
“God has been good and has opened this season for me to be able to pursue it once again I was able to find a school that offers home study program in college so hopefully in two and a half years time, I will be able to get a college degree,” she relayed.
Congratulations, Jodi!
