A message to the
By Mrs. Estrelita Gaoat Bayangos Guest Speaker Baoa Elementary School
A warm Greetings to all!Umuna unay agyamantayiti Dios ta nadonantay timaikainnem a pulo nga graduationexercises ti eskwela tayo, that onlyproves how much God loves andsustains us. At this juncture, allow me toexpress my gratitude to the parentsand teachers of the BaoaElementary School for havingchosen me to be your speaker intoday’s graduation exercises. WhenMrs. Fe Bartido called me thru thecellphone informing me that I waschosen as your speaker today, Isaid “No ma’am”, Apay aya kunanamabainak ma’am kunak met. Wenmabainak kunak ta ngamin timakitkitak a speakers kadagitoyena tiempo ket dagitay ub-ubbing ketnataenganakon. Ultimately, I saidyes. The following day I texted her making alibis that on that day willbe a directors’ meeting in my placeof work. But she did not reply.Nairana met nga adda ni lakaykoket imbagak daytoy nga awis ketkunana awatemon a kababain. Sothru the inspiration of my husband,again I texted Ma’am Bartido, nowthis time, saying, ma’am, I acceptthe invitation. I wish then to expressmy profound gratitude to my AlmaMater, for were it not for theeducation I attained from thisinstitution, I may not have beenable to be what I am now.I could recall vividly myelementary days in this school.Maysaak met a kas kadakayo idi adimmakkel iti paraangan tipatpatgen tayo nga eskuela. Agay-ayam, agkakatawa ngemadda met dagiti kanito ngapanagririri ket isunto metten tipakabautan mi ken ni maestro.Malagipko la unay daydi

No binsabinsaek koma dagidi padaskomauma kayo ket amangan no dikayon agdengngeg.Kadakayo annakmi nga agturpos kablaawankayo. Iti unos ti walo a tawenagraman kinder/prep yo ammok ket pagaammok unay nga adu met dagiti padas kenrigrigatyo ngem nagasatkayo annakmi ta itan

ti kaaduan kadakayo. Idisiak, pagnaek manipud iti balaymi idiay Toledo inggana ditoy eskwela. Naggapuak itinakurapay a pamilya. Agtaltalon daydi tatangko a danggayan met ni nanangko. Adukami nga agkakabsat ket uray payen iti elementaria narigat ti panagbasan taadukami nga agsasaruno. Inggaedko ti nagbasa ket kaasi ni Apo Dios I graduatedon top of the class, the Valedictorian. Just a few moments ago, I was talking to your class Valedictorian. Kunak, ana ti sikretom ta apay sika ti Valedictorian? Simplelaeng ti sungbatna ket kunana: kinagaget nga agbasa.Inayonko pay dagitoy tapnomagun-od tayo ti ballaigi: self-discipline, determination, love, industry and trust inGod. Tano ammom nga disiplinaen ti bagim agbunga iti adu daytoy- mailiklikka itidakes adda kappia iti pusom ket mapnoka iti ayat iti padam a tao.“My education: my contribution for the future”. Kuna dagiti nagannak:“anakko, igaedmo ti agbasa, dayta laeng ti maipatawid kenka”. Education gives us abetter future/a weapon to attain success. I recall vividly when I was in high school,my parents were hard up in sending me to school. Ngem saan a ti kinakurapaymi tinangbuteng kaniak. No bakasyon adu ti panggedan, adu pay la ti agpakpakintos idi.Mapanak agkintos, agmula ti bawang, aggapas ken aggatud tapno addanto manenkuartak. Ngem narigat ket narigat latta ti panagbiag. Kuna daydi tatangkoagsardengkan. Ngem kastay kunakon determinadoak nga makalpas iti adalko. Noawan ited ni tata idi a kuartak mapanak iti daydi naayat a kaarrubami. Masansan akasta. No iti bigat agrubuatakon uray awan pay kuartak. Innakto manen iti kaarubakket apay awan man kuartamon balasangko? kunana, Ala alaem daytoy sangapulo apisos kunananto manen. Laeng, ta nasapa met a pimmusay daytoy nangkakaasikaniak. Umanayen ti sangapulo a pisos ta magmagnakami met idi nga agpaili. Awanlugan. Saan a kas ita nga awanen ti magmagna ta adun ti lugan. Bayat tipanagtultuloyko nga agbasa, nagyanak iti maysa a familia ket tapno malibre ti kanenken panagyanko I have to do the household chores before I go to school. Taykunatayo
self-supporting student
. Kasta met man la idi agcollege akon. Inggana anakalpasak and just a month after my graduation I was employed at the Rural Bankof Batac, Inc. until now. Saan a mailibak kadagitoy a tiempo rumigat a rumigat tipanagbiag. Ngem padak a nagannak saantay a maawanan namnama agtalektayken Apo Dios; agkararagtayo ta isu ti mangted kadagiti kasapulantayo. Children,education is your weapon to attain success and someday you will be a pride of your parents, your school and the community. Remember, SUCCESS IS NOT AMONOPOLY OF TALENTED AND RICH PEOPLE BUT SUCCESS CAN BE ATTAINED THRU ONES DISPOSITION OF THE TALENTS AND RESOURCESGOD HAS GIVEN HIM. Kadakayo nga annakmi no mariknayo nga talaga amarigatan da tatang ken nanang tulonganyo ida. Ubingak pay, mano la ti tawenkodimo kuna, ta adu ket adu ti maaramidmo nga mangted inspirasyon kadagitinagannak kenka- no agsingsingpetka, no ammom ti tumulong kadagiti aramid tibalay nangruna iti daytoy a bakasyon, papananna a di saan a maayayo da tatangken nanang a mangpabasa kenka. Iti uneg ti 8 a tawen agraman kinder/prep apanagbasayo, itan agturposkayon. But remember, this is not the end, but it’s just abeginning of a higher education. By June, you will soon be in high school. Timaibagak kadakayo annakko, high school life is full of challenges. Idiay ili, adu dagitisulisog a mangriribuk iti panagadal, but if you will remember what I’ve said, “self discipline ken determination coupled with prayers” ket dikayto maiyaw-awan.Education gives us the dignity as citizens of the community. For my humbleself, I can say I am contributing something good for the community. Just being agood employee servicing people coming to the bank, setting GOOD example toothers, by being a good mother to my children and a good wife to my husband, Ibelieve I have laid a good moral foundation for my family and that is one of mycontribution now and for the future. Agsubliak kakabsat iti rigat ti panagbiag. At the moment, the world issuffering from economic reversions. And our country is not spared from the globalcrisis. Unemployment, increase in prices of commodities, terrorists attacks, increasein poverty line, and graft and corruption, to name a few, are worsening the presentcondition of our country. But, are we to blame only our leaders? Kakabsat saantay
