I live here in Quezon City and I finished my study here in Quezon City as well. I'm sure my parents don't want me to go through the horror of traffic and take note that was during my time. Now, I think it is much worse and I'm pretty much sure that no parents would want their kids to go through today's dreaded traffic. I'm so glad that my parents were so very protective of me and they sought my safety to have a good education.

Now that I am a parent and knows how hard to travel with that traffic, as much as possible I will not let my kids go through that, but it's up to them. I want them to enjoy their school days, their learning and of course get fond of their memories. Preferably I don't want them to remember school days as traffic struggles. So I might just let try the schools here in Quezon City.


 

Recently I attended a Media Launch of National Book Store's NBS College. I am glad they put up their 1st ever NBS College here in Quezon City. It is just one ride away for us, very accessible!
