“When I was much younger, I’d always take things apart to see how they worked, but I couldn’t put them back,” reminisced Archie Dolit, who was president of the Math and Science club at Marikina High School and graduated valedictorian three years ago.
“That’s why I chose to study ECE [Electronics and Communications Engineering]. Astig siya [It's really cool].”
Although he worked hard to maintain his grades and to participate actively in school activities, even forgoing lunch to work on projects, Archie never imagined that he would be where he is now.
Through the help of Pathways to Higher Education program, Archie is now a full scholar at Ateneo de Manila University.
