Anatole France said, An education is not how much you have committed to memory or how much

you know. It is being able to differentiate between what you know and what you do not.

Good evening everyone! Assalamu alaikum!

Recognition day is the culmination of all hard work and a school year of study. It is the day when
we students can proudly say, We have done it! It is a milestone in our lives as we gather and
celebrate success. It is a time to reap the fruits of our sacrifices and hard work.

To the awardees, congratulations! Yet, this does not end here. Challenges are just way up there,
waiting to be unfolded and taken gloriously by you. I am encouraging you to continue the race and
higher the determinations as long as you live. Recognition day is not the end but a new beginning to
a new horizon of our career.

Of course, today is also the perfect day to say thank you to people behind our success. It is
always best to acknowledge our parents! Without their presence and love, we are now not here.
Thank you also to our teachers! Without their guidance and dedication, we cannot achieve anything
like this. Most of all, thanks to God! Let us offer everything we had and have to him.

Dear Lasallian achievers, aspirants, centennial graduates, teachers and parents, congratulations
to all of us for a job well done. A victorious night to everyone! Wassalam.
