'Iba 'yung fulfillment': Jodi Sta. Maria 3 oras ginisa sa kaniyang thesis defense | Star Patrol 

Who wants Jodi on Toni talks? 🙋‍♀️😍

My father went back to college at 72 yrs old and he was able to finish his study at 76 yrs old.. he was featured in national news when he graduated as a good example and inspiration to everyone that.. age doesn’t matter and it’s never too late if you have a dream to finish your study then go for it!😍

In born talaga na matalino sya she's a consistent dean's lister

“When God puts a dream in your heart, it’s with the intent to fulfil it.” - thisss! Jodi is such an inspiration! That’s why I love her so much!❤️

Individual thesis ang BS Psychology sa SISC, so walang bubuhat sayo kundi sarili mo plus experimental pa ang thesis ni Ms. Jodi ☺️ Kaya grabe sobrang bilib na bilib ako sa kanya. Saksi ako sa mga naging struggles nya non. Imagine pagsabayin mo ang work, pagiging mommy at pagiging estudyante? So proud of you Ms. Jodi ❤️❤️❤️

2:47 "When God puts a dream in your heart, it's with the intent to fulfill it".

Hindi lang siya magaling na artista magaling din siyang studyante ❤️. Nakakaproud❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I dol Jodi❣️

I’m 33 now and I will be graduating with my second college course BA in Psychology this July 31.

As a working student nakaka proud to! Sobrang hirap mag aral at mag work habang my binubuhay kang anak. Kaya aa mga katulad natin habang bata kapa! Mag aral ka 💪🏼❤️❤️

Having a spot in showbiz can be temporary but having a complete education is a lifetime fulfillment

Some actors/actress invest on business, Ms. Jodi invested on knowledge which will never go bankrupt for as long as she lives.

Ang sarap talaga sa feeling na makapasa sa thesis defense. ❤️

Yung ibang artista pa post post Lang sa social media pero Wala namang Alam! Galing mo Jodi👏👏

Age doesn't matter when it comes to education its about in God's timing. Jodi is a living evidence! Congrats Ms Jodi!🙌❤️

Nakaka inspired naman I am 39 years old now and I am 1st year college taking up education praying and hoping na makapag tapos din kahit nanay na🙏🙏🙏

Iba talaga yung saya kapag pinaghirapan mo ang isang bagay. Relate much ako sa kanya sa hirap ng thesis. I am happy for her.

Wow ang galing nmn ni miss jodi..

Dapat ganyan ang mga artista na iniidolo..

Ganitong artista dapat ang pina follow at tinitingala ng mga kabataan ngayon, yung sobrang binibgyan halaga ang pag aaral, at hindi yung nag iinarte lang at walang ginawa kundi maghubad...

My Lola graduated from college when she was 50 years old. This is inspiring.

Yes... very inspiring talaga.. very busy sa career but still model student. Nakakapasok pa sa Top. Amazing Woman!!!

She is a very inspirational and good example to everyone. Lalo na ngaun pandemic na halos Hindi motivated ang mga Tao. Thank you for featuring this.

Congrats MISS JODI STA.MARIA❤❤❤❤💛💛💛

Walang humpay na saya makatapos ng thesis😂😂😂..Lalo na halos walang tulog at nakakaawang daga sa amin noon.College life.Congratulations po.Di po basta basta makatapos ng medical course😊

Saludo ako sa inyo Ms. Jodi! I also finished my degree as a working student, call center agent sa gabi at estudyante sa umaga. Ngayon I already have my dream job at pursuing my masters degree while working pa rin. Kudos sayo!

It doesn't matter when or how you've struggled, it is what you have learned in the process. From a random prof ko nung college. Jodi's story is inspiring the same as our story.

Maganda talaga pag naka tapos ka 💖 congrats jodi

Congrats Jodi.. No doubt na makakaya.. Napaintelligent, kind & down to earth na artista..

Hats off to you Ms. Jodi Sta. Maria! Your commitment to higher education did not diminish in spite of your success in showbiz. I can't imagine being in your shoes to come back and finish your 4th-year high school at the age of 28. Back in my day as a working student I was able to earn my bachelors degree at 25 when regular students normally finish college around 20-21 years old.

Congratulations Ms Jodi. Thank you ABS-CBN news for airing this news. For those who made comments that you also defended your thesis but how come you were not in the news, why if they will air our defense (in my case defenses-4 times for undergrad, thesis for two masters degree and a PhD dissertation), will people learn from us and be inspired by what we have done. Ms Jodi's accomplishment is truly inspiring and worth emulating by others. She did not graduate in high school because at 15 years of age she stopped because of work. Her greatness is she did not give up on it. She went back at the age 28 and graduated in high school at age 28 despite her very hectic schedule shooting 100 days to heaven, mundo man ay magunaw, be careful with my heart, and many others (and plus the many personal and marital problems she was hurdling and experiencing at that time). She then enrolled in college at de la salle univ but have to stop because of everyday shooting of be careful with my heart. Again, her commitment to her education pushed her to enroll again in 2016 and 2017 now taking BS Psych and now her dedication paid off. She is already graduating. How many of us can succeed with all of this hardships and hindrances? How many of us can fly victorious after all of these trials? Yes, Ms Jodi's success in her studies must be in the news because others need to learn from her and be inspired by her. In particular the young people nowadays that trivialized learning and education. God bless Ms Jodi and all those that are inspired by your life.

I feel her☺️i finished my college at the age of 33 😊 hindi madali i started also going college last 2010 but stopped coz i got pregnant☺️but I continued last 2014 and I graduated last 2019, now working at home with enough salary to provide my family needs. Glory be to God in the highest♥️
