During the interview, Maryanne attributed her success and her high school’s success to God.
“It’s really God who enabled us to pass since we are a really religious school, we were also a united class and we helped each other a lot,” she disclosed.
Maryanne who hopes to study Medicine at Harvard University revealed that she still can’t believe that she was among the top students in the country.
“I’m still in disbelief and I’m waiting for someone to wake me up. It took a lot of discipline and work ethic (to perform so well),” she revealed.
As for medicine, Maryanne believes that it’s her calling, “It has always been a passion of mine. Somewhere deep in my heart, I knew it.”
