In an Instagram post on December 16, 2022, Small showed her 17-year-old daughter's reaction upon learning about her admission to the prestigious liberal arts college.
In the video, Allison shed tears of joy as she opened the e-mail bearing the good news. Her classmates and friends cheered her on.
Though she wanted her daughter to study in the country, Small was nonetheless happy for her Chinadoll (Allison's nickname), who is currently finishing her high school studies at International School Manila in Taguig City.

"Time flies so fast I can’t believe you’re going to college. Chinadoll got into her first choice of school for college!"
