De Los Reyes has brought pride to Cebu Technological University โ Carmen Campus by securing the 8th spot in the March 2025 Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (Elementary Level), as announced by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). With a remarkable score of 93.00%, Ricamaeโs achievement stands as a testament to her dedication and the support of her family and mentors.
After graduating, Ricamae made a firm decision to focus solely on her LET review. โAfter graduation, decided na jud ko nga mag-review for the March 2025 LET. During that time, wala ko ni-work para maka-focus ko sa akong pag-review. Thankful kaayo ko kay supportive kaayo akong pamilya sa akoa,โ she shared. As a full scholar at a review center, she found both opportunity and encouragement. โWhile reviewing, gi-set jud nako sa akong huna-huna nga dapat kayanon nako despite having doubts. Pero grabe jud akong pag-ampo sa Ginoo. I always kept in mind that I cannot make it without Him.โ
On exam day, Ricamaeโs nerves and determination were palpable. She woke up at 2:00 AM, arrived early at the testing center, and approached the exam with a mix of anxiety and hope. โWhile answering, na-feel jud nako nga mura kog nibalik og pagkabata. I felt like a child chasing a long-time goal. Kulba, pero nilaban,โ she recalled. Her compassion was evident when she chose to be the last to submit her answer sheet, wanting to support a fellow examinee who was still finishing. โMaong niingon ko sa proctor, โSir, last lang ko mag-pass.โโ
After the LET, Ricamae experienced a whirlwind of emotions but held on to hope. โI know I did my best. And with God, nothing is impossible,โ she said. To future educators, Ricamae offers this advice: โSo, ang ma-advice nako sa mga nag-aspire to become a future LET topnotcher or LET passer is to have consistency, determination, perseverance, and faith. Wala juy imposible basta magkugi, apilan og pag-ampo.โ She ends with a message of encouragement: โManifesting more topnotchers from CTU-Carmen!โ
