After a beautiful mass with Fr. Jesse Esqueda OMI presiding, we had a ceremony with two special guests (graduates from previous years) who offered a few words: “You are great for having accomplished this, but don’t forget the people who helped you. Always take time to thank the people who stand with you.” “If you ever went to your parents saying that you get a great grade and they disparaged you, I apologize. You worked hard to get that (grade) so it’s okay to be proud of your work. Thanks to that hard work today you have accomplished your dream”.
One of our graduates Isabel Bahena was one of the founders of the Oblate Medical Program. When we ask her about her experience with the Scholarship Program she said “This program is a great support to our community because it is the best way to improve a community. I feel blessed because my major (Medicine) is expensive. Thanks to the Scholarship Program I was able to better focus on learning and becoming a professional.”.
“The service to my community through the Medical Program has been one of the best things in my life; getting close to people and helping them gave me tools I thought I had but now realize how much I needed to learn. Visiting families taught me things not taught in schools such as empathy, responsibility, and compassion”.
