“Nakakaiyak din pala,” she expressed in the caption.

“Not an ordinary day. Inabot din ng 16 years, nagshift ng courses, nagtransfer ng school, nagLOA dahil ang hirap pagsabayin ang pagwe-weightlifting at pag-aaral,” Hidilyn narrated.

She went on expressed disbelief that she has finally finished her education.

She also encouragingly noted, “Kung nakaya ko, kaya ng mga student-athletes, at mga bata at sa lahat na gusto makapagtapos, age doesn’t matter, mahirap pero super worth it.”

“I never imagined reaching this point. But here I stand,” the weightlifter added.
