Loreen, a 19-year-old accountancy student at the University of San Jose-Recoletos in the Philippines, was inspired by her mother, an accountant who was diagnosed with cancer when Loreen was in seventh grade. Despite the challenges of caring for her mother and managing emotional stress, Loreen remained committed to her studies.
