This young student is so determined to finish his studies to become a Sports Teacher that he does not mind working hard to sell fish in the streets, even if this can be such a smelly, difficult job.

In a post on his Facebook account, Kevin invites his social media friends to support him in his studies by buying fish at their makeshift shop outside Mejar Apartment beside Cokin Building and in front of Bacolod City National High School.

The young man takes pride of the fish they are selling, with the catch coming from his hometown of Escalante City, located 2 hours away from Bacolod City. A number of netizens responded, saying that they are willing to support him by buying his fish.

But because he sells in Bacolod City, a lot of netizens can’t buy fish from him as they live far away. Thus, many are simply praying for his success in life. A lot praised this young man for his determination to earn money to support himself in school.

What’s so great about Kevin is that he’s not just supporting himself but also his family back in Escalante City. In another post on Facebook, he promised a new cellphone for his younger brother so he could use it for online school.
