Galing pala talaga ni Leni. Entrance exam lang sa UP ang hirap na. Pag bagsak, di makapasok kasi hindi naman negosyo ang UP na naghahanap ng magbayad tuition. Economics course pa sa UP na kung hindi ka talaga matalino di ka papasa. Sa higher math lang tumba ka na. Di pwdeng dayain na gaya sa iba. Ngayon naglecture pa sa Harvard.
