Behind every success story is a chapter filled with sacrifice.

After her father was laid off, she had no choice but to step up. As an only child, she became the breadwinner—carrying the weight of her family at a very young age.

She applied to 56 companies and faced rejection after rejection. On her 57th application, she was finally hired—as a janitor.

But she didn’t stop there.

In between long workdays, she turned to YouTube—not just for entertainment, but for learning.
It became her classroom, where she discovered and developed her entrepreneurial skills.

Step by step, lesson by lesson, she began building something greater for herself. She pursued her Bachelor’s Degree through the USJ-R Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency & Accreditation Program (ETEEAP).

Today, she stands as a CEO, a degree holder, and a true Josenian inspiration.

Meet Zee Pono, USJ-R ETEEAP Batch 22 President and graduate, now the proud owner of GRND UP Consumer Goods Trading, a proud Josenian who turned hardship into hustle, and hustle into success.

Her journey reminds us that our struggles can shape iur strength. Our waiting season has a purpose. And sometimes, all it takes is one “yes” to change your life.

This is more than a success story—this is a Josenian story of resilience, courage, and unstoppable determination.

Adelante, Zee! 🔰🔰🔰
