00:05Let's take a look at the shining story of a person with a disability

00:08who did something that others see as his weakness.

00:12Let's watch this.

00:14♪

00:16When it comes to dreams, they say, never say die.

00:20And this is also what 31-year-old Princess Diane Mendoza said,

00:25that her disability was not a barrier to the pandemic

00:28to achieve her dream of becoming a successful teacher.

00:32At a young age of just two years,

00:34it became difficult for them to accept her condition,

00:38especially since her father works abroad.

00:41But despite the trials,

00:44their family did not give up

00:46and they learned to use sign language to communicate.

00:51Diane completed her course of Applying Deaf Studies

00:53as a major in Business Entrepreneurship

00:55at the College of St. Benildong in 2015.

00:58After her true calling was revealed,

01:01she enrolled at the De La Salle University, Manila

01:03for the Teacher Certificate Program.

01:06Despite her determination,

01:08she struggled several times to get a licensure exam for teachers again.

01:12But it was not a barrier for her not to try again.

01:15And just last year,

01:17Diane became a registered professional teacher.

01:21A true never-say-die, especially if you're still alive,

01:25do the things that others see as your weakness.

01:37And joining us today, from Lipa City, Batangas,

01:40Princess Diane Mendoza and her mother,

01:42Jenibel Mendoza, of course,

01:43with the interpreter,

01:45Ma'am Aimee Gabrielle Adiwa.

01:47Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

01:50Good morning!

01:52Good morning!

01:53And congratulations!

01:56That's great, we're very proud.

01:58You're my countrymen, Batangas.

02:00Yes, Batangas.

02:02So how do you feel, Ma'am Aimee,

02:06after Princess passed?

02:09What did you feel first?

02:11I'm very happy.

02:13And I can't believe that she achieved what she did,

02:21because for the third time, she passed.

02:25And finally, she became a teacher.

02:27Yes, she became a teacher.

02:29Alright, let's go to Teacher Diane.

02:31I might be confused.

02:33Alright, congratulations again, Diane.

02:36How does it feel that you are a teacher now,

02:39after trying three times,

02:42now that you are officially a teacher?

02:44How does it feel?

02:46I feel that I was inspired

02:50because I passed.

02:52And actually, before that,

02:54I had struggles in life.

02:56I had a lot of doubts

02:58because I said that I wanted to give up.

03:00But I really tried

03:02until I passed.

03:04And I believe in myself

03:06and I believe that God gave me a blessing.

03:10And also, I had confidence

03:12to try my best.

03:14I wonder, Teacher Diane,

03:16you said that you wanted to give up,

03:18but where do you get your strength?

03:20Who is your inspiration to continue

03:22your dream of becoming a teacher?

03:28Wow.

03:30My inspiration

03:32is that

03:34I think that

03:38Mother Mary

03:40and God

03:42and my family

03:44who supports me

03:46and no matter what happens,

03:48I will not give up.

03:50That's what they tell me.

03:52Keep going, even if you fell down at first.

03:54You know, I was touched

03:56because

03:58thank you to my grandmother.

04:00I am thankful to her.

04:02And I want to thank

04:04all of my teachers.

04:06And since elementary,

04:08high school, college,

04:10they really shaped

04:12my experience

04:14and also

04:16all of my teachers.

04:18Very inspiring.

04:20The positivity

04:22and strength.

04:24But I am also curious

04:26to Princess,

04:28is there a difference

04:30in the letters

04:32compared to

04:34the usual

04:36examinations?

04:38Is the exam

04:40CWD-friendly?

04:42What's your experience?

04:46To be honest,

04:48when I took the exam,

04:50actually, I was with the deaf.

04:52But I told

04:54them that

04:56I had a hard time with this exam

04:58because it's not for me.

05:00But it's challenging because

05:02the deaf

05:04like me, we can do it.

05:06We believe that we can

05:08because we are all equal.

05:10We all have an education.

05:12Very inclusive.

05:14And it provided

05:16equal opportunities for all.

05:18For the family of

05:20Teacher Diane,

05:22what was your

05:24support for her

05:26to achieve her goal?

05:28Her siblings

05:30always tell her

05:32not to give up

05:34because she will

05:36be depressed.

05:38Her siblings always tell her

05:40that she can do it.

05:42To be honest,

05:44every Wednesday

05:46at the dentist,

05:48we go to sleep early

05:50because I am with her.

05:52Then I saw her

05:54selling groceries.

05:56We told her

05:58that God won't let her down.

06:00We are here for her.

06:02You can do it. You are smart.

06:04God has a guide for you.

06:06You have a strong support system.

06:08How was her father's reaction?

06:10His father was very happy.

06:12He was very supportive.

06:14He would buy

06:16materials

06:18for her

06:20to support her

06:22even if it's expensive.

06:24He was very

06:26proud of his daughter.

06:28For sure. It's really

06:30all-out support.

06:32What is your message

06:34to the parents

06:36who are watching us now?

06:38To my parents

06:40who have children

06:42with their spouses,

06:44don't lose hope.

06:46Open your hearts.

06:48Show them that

06:50they are not different.

06:52Give your best for them.

06:54Above all,

06:56join in prayer

06:58so that we can overcome

07:00the trials

07:02that we are going through

07:04while we are taking care of them.

07:06Congratulations to you

07:08and to the whole family.

07:10I want to go back to Teacher Princess Diana.

07:12What are your plans now?

07:14You are now officially a teacher.

07:16How will you mentor

07:18students?

07:20What schools are you planning to teach?

07:22Push also for this advocacy

07:24that even if you have a disability,

07:26you can still reach for your dream.

07:32I want to teach

07:34deaf students

07:36like me

07:38because I believe

07:40that deaf people

07:42can do it.

07:46I believe

07:48that they will be empowered

07:50because in my experience,

07:52many people helped me

07:54so why can't I do the same

07:56for others?

07:58I want to inspire students.

08:00I want to break

08:02the barriers that they are going through.

08:08Breaking barriers.

08:10Thank you so much

08:12for your time.

08:14Your story is really inspiring.

08:16Once again,

08:18Princess Diana Mendoza,

08:20Mommy Jennable Mendoza,

08:22Mommy Gabriela Diwa.

08:24Thank you very much.

08:28Continue to be an inspiration, Princess Diana.
