Jodi Sta. Maria named top Psychology student

13 Aug – Jodi Sta. Maria proves that she is not playing around with her studies as she was recently revealed to be the top Psychology student in Southville International Schools and Colleges in Las Pinas.

The actress recently shared the good news with a video on Instagram, where she is seen hugging a friend when the emcee announced her name and the screen revealing that she has achieved a GPA of 3.8.

She wrote, "These past years of taking up a pre-med course has molded me, trained me, tested me... but here I am almost at the end of the race as I finish my last year of undergrad studies."

"I've played many roles in my life - an actor, daughter and most importantly being a mother. But being a student had me seeking out one of the most important gifts from God - the chance to pursue my BS Psychology degree. Each subject I had was an opportunity to develop myself and achieve new accomplishments.

"With every challenge and experience, God prepared me and taught me to run my race without quitting. I have learned to be receptive to the whole process, more aware of what I am learning and why. I want you to know how exciting and stimulating an education can be. With a grateful heart, I am beyond happy to share with you that I was able to finish this semester with flying colors. Thank you, God for the gift of perseverance, patience, and the eagerness to learn and become a student of life. I am just at the start of what will be an even greater journey, and I am excited where it will take me."

Sta Maria was among the top students in the previous semester as well, with a GPA of 3.67.
