Neri Naig Miranda has kept herself busy these past few months after she got into Harvard Business School’s Entrepreneurship Essentials program last August.
In an Instagram post sharing the screenshot of her acceptance letter at the time, she told friends and followers the reason for her pursuing this course.

“I am happppppy! Sobraaaa! Nakaka-proud dahil kapag may ginusto ako, gumagawa talaga ako ng paraan. Walang excuses dapat. Paano ko malalaman kung para sa akin kung hindi ko susubukan, di ba? (Very much! I am so proud because when I want something, I really do what I can to find a way to get it. No excuses. How will I know if it’s right for me if I don’t try, right?)” she said.
“Every day dapat naghahanap tayo ng mga paraan para mas matuto pa. Mag-invest ka sa sarili mo. Tandaan, hindi pa huli ang lahat. Kahit anong edad mo pa (Every day, we should find ways to learn more. Invest in yourself. Remember, you have time. No matter how old you are),” she said.
Fast forward to months after and she got a surprise of her life—when Harvard Business School posted a photo of her studying the course at the comfort of her family rest house.
“It’s always nice when you can study in a beautiful location like @mrsnerimiranda! #StudyAnywhere #OnlineLearning,” the school wrote in their caption.
Neri quickly shared the screenshot on her own page and gushed, “Ay. Si Harvard na mismo ang nag-post nyan ha. Ina-acknowledge nila na estudyante nila ako (Whoa. Harvard themselves posted this. They acknowledge that I’m their student),” she said in jest.
