“I knew my parents wanted to support me but they just couldn’t. I still have 5 siblings after me. I can’t imagine how heartbreaking it was for them then.' BAR2019 | CGonzalesINQ
“I couldn’t believe it at first. I thought it was fake news and that it was done in bad taste… I thought it was still too early to know the results because it was not even lunchtime,” Rojas, now 36, said in an interview with INQUIRER.net.
But he changed his mind and decided to take up Political Science for his undergraduate degree at the University of the Philippines – Manila with the intention of becoming a lawyer. Even after he finished studying at UP in 2004, it took Rojas another 11 years, due to money problems, to enter the Polytechnic University of the Philippines – College of Law in 2015.And while he was eager to enter law school, Rojas, the second eldest in the family, still chose to support the studies of his siblings when he landed a job.
Looking back at his experiences in law school, Rojas shared how he instilled discipline in himself as he was striving to get closer to his goal, especially as a working student and a father to his six-year-old son.
