A staunch believer of using one’s time productively, Sean Aquilino, a graduate of BS Biology from the University of the Philippines Diliman, teaches high school students at AHEAD Tutorial & Review Center, while pursuing a degree in Medicine.
“What better way to be a productive member of society than to teach,” says this young lecturer on his second year at AHEAD. “But more importantly, teaching inspires the future leaders of our nation,” he proudly states.
For Teacher Sean, fulfillment comes from knowing he helped students understand difficult subjects. “I feel fulfilled when I get to train and motivate them to become mature individuals ready to start their lives in college.”
Plus, Teacher Sean gets to relive the good old days he had in high school––and all the idealism and the fun that comes with it––while being with his students. “They keep me grounded and make me remember why I’m where I am now.”
As a parting shot, he tells students: “You have to dream, and dream big. Let your passion fuel your will to succeed. College is where your life and career begins. It’s time to live!”
