Determination is crucial for students who lack the funds for schooling because it helps them overcome financial barriers and continue striving for their goals.
When resources are limited, students must rely on their perseverance, creativity, and resourcefulness to find alternative ways to fund their education or support their daily needs.
Netizens showed love for student-entrepreneur “Aubrey” after she was featured on “Pera Paraan” by Susan Enriquez, as she reportedly earns thousands of pesos selling various kinds of fruit juices.
At just 20 years old, Aubrey is truly proving that one can have both a “diploma and determination.”

Determination can drive students to seek scholarships, part-time jobs, or entrepreneurial ventures, just like Aubrey, who used her business to support her schooling.
It helps them stay focused and motivated despite challenges, ensuring they don’t give up on their dreams of a better future. This determination not only leads to financial solutions but also builds resilience, problem-solving skills, and a strong work ethic, all of which are valuable assets in life and career.
According to a Facebook post by GMA Public Affairs, Aubrey’s starting capital was ₱50,000, and she decided to sell fruit juices—perfect for the hot weather. The flavors she offers are lychee, grape, and strawberry. A 22oz serving costs ₱40, while a one-liter bottle is priced at ₱60 for all flavors.
In less than a month, she reportedly recovered her capital and even made a substantial profit.
Every day, she reportedly sells 500-600 cups, which amounts to 300 liters of fruit juice. With these sales, her earnings reach thousands!
