FINALLY,nakuha na ni Xian Lim ang kanyang Bachelor of Arts in Music Production degree mula sa De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde through its Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP).
Sa kanyang Instagram account, ipinostt ng gwapong aktor ang mga litrato na kuha sa kanilang graduation ceremony na ginanap sa Philippine International Convention Center.
Isa sa mga ibinahagi ng actor-director ay ang kanyang photo suot ang kanyang green suit with his black graduation toga habang hawak ang nakuhang diploma.
‘Never in a million years did I imagine this day would come,” pagsisimula ni Xian sa kanyang caption.
“Today isn’t just about earning a diploma. It’s a reminder that life doesn’t always follow the timeline we imagine…and that’s okay. Sometimes the detours become the very roads that lead us where we’re meant to be,” mensahe pa niya.
Habang nagaganap ang ceremony, binalikan ni Xian ang isang quote from former United States President Barack Obama na naging inspirasyon niya sa muling pag-aaral: “Be useful. Be kind.”
“The older I get, the more I realize that success isn’t measured only by what we achieve, but by how we make other people feel and the impact we leave behind.
‘Skills, titles, and accomplishments may open doors, but kindness builds relationships, and being useful gives purpose to everything we do. ”
Last May, ibinalita ni Xian na ipagpapatuloy niya ang kanyang pag-aaral na pansamantalang natigil nang pasukin niya ang showbiz.
“I started working at an early age. At 15, my first job was in a restaurant and right after school, I’d head straight into my shift, excited to earn and learn.
“Not long after, I spent about a year working at Costco, juggling work and studies just to make ends meet, before eventually moving to the Philippines.
“Then an unexpected opportunity in the entertainment industry came my way. I took the leap and that path led me to become a full-time actor.
‘Fifteen years flew by grinding, and giving everything I had to my craft but deep inside, I knew something was missing. There was a quiet insecurity I carried about not finishing school, about not having a degree. It was a gap I couldn’t ignore.
