To our respected Dean, distinguished faculty
staff, dearest friends and classmates, to the graduates; and to our beloved
parents, a pleasant afternoon.
I am so thrilled to speak here, in front of
the lovely and handsome faces of the graduating students’ batch 2007.
How quick time goes by that at this juncture
we are about to leave the threshold of this prestigious University. It’s as if
it was yesterday that I’m preparing myself to enter college feeling excited and
at the same time anxious because I don’t know yet what kind of life awaits me, and
at this moment the same feeling but a little bit sad for I will soon bid
farewell to the school that defines me and made me who I am.
My dear graduates, as we are going to receive
our diploma, which we greatly deserved is the lone depiction of our realization
of success. It is undeniably the key that unlocks the door to a whole new world
while we commence a new chapter of our life. But before that, you should be
proud of yourself that you’ve finally made it, after what you’ve been going through.
You experienced struggles every time you stumble, hardships whenever you
encountered obstacles, and sacrifices, and you recognized it’s all worth it.
What a wonderful feeling that after you survived those things, the reward is
remarkable – to be a part of the list of 2007 graduating students and admirably
passed all of the requirements that we didn’t apprehended we could possibly
make it. Correspondingly, it’s a triumph we should rejoice.
So as everyone is congratulating you on this
day and on the days to come, don’t forget to thank and express your sincerest
appreciation first and foremost to our Lord God for without His Divine
Providence we are not here today, and also to everyone who helped us made it
this far. We could not be able to achieve this victorious moment without their
enormous support and assistance.
Let’s all thank our Lord God for bestowing us
the talent, wisdom and strength to surpass the difficulties we’ve gone through
wherein we were able to reach the final lap of college.
To the administration that they showed
concerned to our welfare, they catered our needs and concerns in regards to the
academe and to the school. They aligned us properly on what’s best for us and
provide quality education in which, turned us to become competent and
well-rounded individual. To the administration, thank you so much. And we will
never fail you on what you expect us to become.
To our dearest teachers, who were also our
mentors, who molded us to become a great person equipped with knowledge and
skills they skillfully imparted to us. They inspired us to face life more
meaningful and with a purpose and they challenged us to touch the pinnacle of
success. And we were blessed to have met teachers like them and rest assured
that all of the lessons we’ve learned from them will forever be embedded here
in our heart and in our mind that is after this, we will prove our worth and
bring glory to them.
To our friends and classmates who in one way
or another brought joy to our tedious college years. You lessen the burden we
were carrying and ease the pain we’ve suffered. You encouraged us to have faith
in ourselves and you were always there to lend a hand. Classmates and friends
thank you.
And most especially to our beloved parents,
who definitely strived hard and made a lot of sacrifices just to give us our
needs and sometimes our wants to motivate us to really do well in school. They
indeed work hard, whereupon they could not afford to rest, thinking that we
terribly needed their support and assistance. They did everything in order to
provide us a bright future by means of continues sending us to school to earn a
degree irrespective of how much it costs. They did their best and became a
great mother and a great father. Our precious parents, although this is not
enough yet we want you to know how much we are grateful for having you as our
parents, and how much we owe this to you. We, thank you for you patients and
understanding even if we sometimes failed to acknowledge your effort, thank you
for your unending support and constant guidance; you help us to be strong and
stand us up when we fall; and above all thank you for your tender care and
undying love that though we oftentimes gave you a headache, still you embraced
us with your warmth hands, gentle touch and a few words of wisdom. It made us
feel the sense of existence. Once again, with all our heart, thank you and we
love you so much.
Graduates, use your God given talents to the
best of your ability since we are one stride closer in grasping our dreams.
