Sunshine

Sunshine is one of the best scholars at BBPI Middle School. She has carried high honors since elementary school and into the 8th grade.

Sunshine is the second oldest in a family with four children. Her father is a fisherman and sometimes works as a habal-habal (motorcycle) driver. Sunshine’s father is also one of the pastors in the Badjao community. Her mother is a housemaid and returns home every Saturday and Sunday.

Sunshine helps her big sister in school with assignments and projects. Her big sister has difficulty reading so Sunshine teaches her how to read and also encourages her to attend the BBPI tutorial sessions. Sunshine stands as a big sister in her family. She works hard in school and looks out for her family, doing the laundry, cooking, and housekeeping.

We are so proud of you, Sunshine! Keep shining brightly for yourself, your family, and your community!
