The saying “birds of a feather, flock together” held true for Clarissa Pascual and Heidiebel Balais, who both secured a spot at the Top 10 of the September 2016 Licensure Exam for Teachers (LET).
Pascual and Balais’ friendship started during their freshman year at the Mariano Marcos State University College of Education. Throughout their four-year journey at the university, the two became study buddies and served as each other’s cheerleader.
Their hard work paved off as they both graduated cum laude last April. But their friendship didn’t fade even after graduation.
During their preparation for the board exam, the two decided to go on separate ways as they enrolled in different review centers. Still, they managed to see each other after review sessions to catch up and share lesson materials.
When the LET results came on Monday, the pals were more than thrilled to know that they have achieved the ultimate “friendship goal.” Aside from the fact that they were among the 54,700 who passed the board exam, both managed to be among the Top 10 passers.
