Myrtle graduates Cum Laude from UP
"It was all worth it." Myrtle Sarrosa was left reminiscing the struggles she had with juggling her showbiz career and college as she graduated cum laude.
On Saturday, the former "Pinoy Big Brother" housemate received her bachelor's degree in broadcast communications from the University of the Philippines Diliman.
Sharing a photo of her wearing her graduation attire on Instagram, Sarrosa wrote: "After six years, three courses, nine semesters, one reality TV show, 12 teleseryes and over 50 television shows – I'm finally here today."
"To be honest, I never thought I’d see this day coming. After numerous struggles that came my way, there were several times where I doubted myself, cried and just wanted to give up.
"But despite the overwhelming odds against me, someway and somehow I made it with the help of God, my family, friends, professors, classmates and workmates. Like they say… the struggle is real but it’s all worth it."
Sarrosa rose to fame as the winner of the fourth teen edition of "Pinoy Big Brother" back in 2012. Prior to that, she was known as a popular cosplayer.
She has since made appearances in a number of popular TV shows such as "Ang Probinsyano," "Forevermore," and "Your Face Sounds Familiar," in addition to releasing two studio albums.
