Mark Zuckerberg is the inventor of Facebook.
Manny
Pacquiao is our national boxer. And Rodrigo Duterte is our former
president. What do you think are with these men that made me
mention them? Yes, they all had huge contributions in everyone's
lives and they are all school dropouts. But I'm not saying that we
need to stop schooling in order to succeed. My fellow graduates,
what I am telling you is we have different ways in achieving our own
success.
To our distinguished guest speaker _________, who are with
us today, parents, teachers, school canteen staff, PTA officers,
Baranggay Council, the teaching force of Sta. Maria Elementary
School headed by Ma'am Ria Donita Malonzo, visitors, fellow
graduates, a pleasant day to all of you.
As a student and an achiever, I always had the pressure to
meet expectations and I know my co- graduates, you also suffer with
personal troubles. Most of us here are struggling financially. We had
so much battles during these past few years from the pandemic up
to this new normal but look where we are today.
With the theme, “K to 12 Graduates: Molded through a
Resilient Educational Foundation” emphasizes that this graduation is
not only a milestone celebration but also a symbol of resilience
honed by our school, SMES that is very responsive to the changing
needs of time.
We also owe a debt of gratitude to our dear parents and
guardians who have always been there. I want to make a special
mention for Mama for being so supportive in my studies. Thank you
for making sure that I am equipped with complete school materials,
for enduring my naughty attitude, for being right there, watching me.
To Papa, how I wish you were here putting medals on me.
But although you are miles away, I can feel your love surrounding
me everyday. Thank you for your sacrifices to ensure that we are
being provided of all of our necessities. You, Mama, and Ate are the
reasons why I am holding this microphone and promising you that I
will keep on getting certificates and medals. Mabuhay po ang ating
mga magulang.
To my beloved teachers, Ma'am Abygaile, Ma'am Michelle,
Ma'am Kate, Sir Randy, Sir Richard, and Sir Albert. I want to say my
sincerest gratitude to all of you for your overflowing patience and
dedication in teaching us.To our adviser, Ma'am Abbygail I know that
our batch may be as noisy and wild as a jungle, even labeled as the
worst class because of our rambulan cases but in behalf of Grade 6-
Ruby, we want to say a big thank you for seeing hope in us and
staying with us when you are at the verge of giving up. You are a
wonderful teacher and I am certain that your future students will
agree to me.
To my classmates, thank you for the adventures and
friendships we made. We are about to part ways and go to different
schools but we will forever cherish the memories both laughter and
sadness we shared together. You made me feel that school is our
second home where I felt loved and welcomed.
My fellow graduates, remember that every achievements
you receive is added to the world's achievements. I may not have
the power to inspire the whole world but I am lucky enough that God
has given me this opportunity to stand here in front of you saying
that maybe one day, one of you will become our new national boxer,
a successful businessman, or even the President. So do not be
afraid of failing, as long as you are learning, you are winning! Thank
you and once again, good day.
