It was a life full of dreams that came true…a life not free of challenges but Dynes went on, not minding the many bumps along the way, she is determined to achieve it and yes she did. Her dream is to have a beautiful and fulfilling career, a promise she made to her Nanay when she was still alive. It was never an easy road but she was able to make it with lots of hard work, determination and grace from above! She always love what Thomas Jefferson once said “I’m a greater believer on luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.” “My life has always been a combination of luck and hard work,” she ended with a smile./DM
