Rizal as a student at Ateneo de Manila, during his first year he heard mass at the college

chapel and prayed for guidance and success. He went to class where he saw a great number of

Spaniards, mestizos and Filipino boys. Rizal’s first professor in Ateneo was Fr. Jose Bech. He

was an externo, hence was assigned under the Carthaginians occupying the end of the line. As

if to prove to his Spanish and mestizos’ classmates the intellectual capacity of an “Indio”. In a

month time, however he was at the head the class emperor. To improve his Spanish, he took

private lessons in Santa Isabel College during the noon recess and paid three pesos for that. In

second half of the year in Ateneo, he placed second at the end of the year although all his grades

were still marked excellent. He worked harder in his second year to restore his lost class

leadership. Some of his classmates were new when he became emperor once more. Three boys

who had been his classmates in Maestro Justiniano's school were among them. Rizal returned to
Calamba in March 1874 for summer vacation after receiving exceptional grades and a gold medal

with scholastic distinction at the end of the school year.

When Rizal returned to Ateneo for his junior year, her mother visited and joyfully informed

him that she had been released. Rizal's academic performance was not as good as it had been

the previous year. Despite his great grades in all disciplines, he only received one gold in Latin.

Because his Spanish was not fluently spoken, he was unable to earn the medal in Spanish, and

he returned to Calamba for summer vacation at the end of the school year. His academic work

did not impress him. He said I returned to my home town unsatisfied. After summer vacation,

Rizal went back in Manila June 1876 for his last year in Ateneo, his studies continued to fare well,

he excelled in all subject. The most brilliant Atenean of his time, he truly the pride of the Jesuit.

Rizal finished his last year in Ateneo in blaze of glory obtaining the highest grade in all subjects.

Rizal graduated at the head of his class, on commencement day March 23, 1877 Rizal

who has 16 years old received for his alma mater in Ateneo Municipal the degree of Bachelor of

Arts with the highest honor. The night before graduation, his last night at the college dormitory he

could not sleep. Early the following morning, the day of graduation he prayed fervently at the

college chapel and commended my life as he said to the virgin so that she might protect me when

I set foot in that world which inspired me with such dread. Rizal did graduate with a grade of

excellent in all subject at the Ateneo, but we must never assume that he graduated valedictorian

or top of his class. The record shows that of the 12 graduating students Rizal batch nine had a

excellent.
