Nagpakita ng inspirasyon sa mga netizen ang isang Education student mula sa Naga, Camarines Sur, matapos niyang makapasa sa Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT/LET) na inanunsyo noong Biyernes, Disyembre 13.
Ang nakamamangha rito, isang visually impaired ang nabanggit na estudyante, na nakilalang si Angeline Bernadette Pancho.
Ibinida ng kilalang review center owner at dating senatorial aspirant na si Carl E. Balita ang pagbati niya kay Angeline.
"Pina-IYAK mo ako Angeline. Naaalala kita. Congrats… another VISUALLY IMPAIRED made it!!!"

“Visionary achievement! proves that determination conquers all," anang Balita sa kaniyang Facebook post.
Sa kaniyang Facebook post naman, Linggo, Disyembre 15, ay ipinaliwanag ni Angeline kung paano niya napagtagumpayan ang LET sa kanila ng kaniyang kalagayan.
Aniya, ina-accommodate daw ng Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) ang pagkuha ng board examination ng mga kagaya niyang persons with disability o PWD, lalo na sa paningin.
"Hello, everyone! I just wanted to share my experience taking the LET as a visually impaired individual, particularly for those who are curious about how I managed it."
"The PRC was really accommodating especially to us, LPT aspirants who are visually impaired. They assigned me two proctors for the board exam and the PRC office was my respective testing center, which made a difference from most others."
Aminado si Pancho na hindi naging madali sa kaniya ang pagkuha ng board exam, dahil kahit may dalawang proctors na naka-asiste sa kaniya, talagang sinukat nito ang kaniyang listening skills, lalo na sa Mathematics.
"One proctor was responsible for reading the questions aloud to me, while the other would shade my answers on the scantron. This was actually crucial on my part as I really had to focus on understanding the questions despite of the time limit given for each of the test."
"I would still have to ask my proctors to repeat particular questions multiple times if there was something I didn’t catch. It was also challenging especially in Math questions, I would ask them to repeat the question many times for me to fully grasp it while doing mental Math."
"Throughout the day, my proctors would switch positions after item 75 of each test. And oh, for verification purposes, my entire exam was voice recorded."
Kaya naman, malaki ang pasasalamat ni Pancho sa assigned proctors sa kaniya.
"Moreover, I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the willingness and patience of my proctors during the exam. They truly deserve recognition for the big help they did for me, and I felt lucky to have them by my side during such an important moment in my life. Thank you so much po, ma’am Malyn and ma’am Gene! ," aniya.
Si Angeline ay nagtapos ng Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English sa University of Nueva Caceres, Naga City.
Congratulations, Teacher Angeline!
