Hidilyn Diaz passes thesis defense


Hidilyn Diaz has completed another milestone — she passed her thesis defense!

The Olympic gold medalist shared a photo of herself clad in a modern Filipiniana blazer and white dress along with her thesismates.

“Pasado sa Thesis Defense,” she captioned with a flexing bicep emoji.

 

 

 

This achievement makes Hidilyn one step closer to attaining her business management diploma from the De La Salle College of Saint Benilde.
In her caption, the weightlifter explained that she was actually told to shift courses because of the challenging degree program.

“Di ko inakala magagawa ko ito kasi naman [kaka-enroll] ko palang sa BM[,] marami na nagsasabi ang hirap ng thesis diyan, maraming bumabagsak sa course na [yan] (hirap daw kasi), [mag-shift ka na] ng courses at dun ka na sa ibang school na pwede kang makapagtapos ng pag-aaral by [one to two years],” she said.

But being the determined fighter she is, Hidilyn pushed through with the course.

“[Pinilit] kong ipagpatuloy ang pagaaral sa @dls.csb dahil ang dami kong natutunan sa courses at sa mga instructor namin na mga magagaling sa field nila,” she said.

Even before achieving the Philippines’ first Olympic gold, Hidilyn balanced her weightlifting training with her studies.

Congratulations, Hidilyn! —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
