Good morning everyone!

Before I' will give my testimony I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the people who
trust and believe on me. To our ALS Superintendents, ma'am magsukul and Thank you also to all the ALS
teachers.

Indeed it is a great honor to speak here infront of many people, especially to tha ALS graduates. To be
honest I'm shaking right now, but looking at your smiles it makes me feel better. To begin.,let me start my
testimony withthis quote

"Poverty is not a hindrance for us to reach our goals in our lives"

It is hard for us to believe in this saying, especially to us who are experiencing poverty. We have this
perception thay if we are poor therefore it will be hard for us to finish our studies and to have a bright
future. This has been my belief when I stop from studying because of financial crisis. during thay time I
was really down, I really don't know to do. I was hopeless that time. But luckily an angel came, in the
presence of my ever supportive tescher, Sir ibba Hain. Who helped me to be one of the lucky stufents of
ALS. Truly, I'm thankful that I met you sir.

ALS played a great role in my life. It serves as my beacon in the darkness. Because of this program I was
able to rise again and to believe that there is always hope. This serves as my stepping stone for me to
reach my goals.

ALS is not only a program that aims to complete the basic education ,it also moulds students to develop
self confidence for them to be able to keep pace with students with formal schooling. ALS is for
everyone. Regardless of your age, gender preferences, races,or religion we are all welcome in ALS. In ALS
we also learn some life skills that are really essential for us. Als also serves as my eye opener that
education is not about who finish it first but it is about waiting for the right moment to have it.

Even though we only have limited time in ALS but we we're able to feel the dedication of our mobile
teachers in teaching us. They are patiently helping us to understand things that are quite difficult to
comprehend .they give their efforts for us to be able to have our diploma. Our mobile teachers are the
main reason why you are here r today celebrating the fruit of your success. We must be forever grateful
to them. They are our heroes. I do hope that they will never get tired in helping other people in
achieving their goals.

To all the graduates my loudest and proudest congratulations to you! This is a another milestone in your
lives. This is something to be proud of! This is not yet the end of your journey, this is just a beginning for
a more challenging world. Hopefully you'll be able to apply everything that you have learned on ALS on
your future endeavor. Keep on improving yourselves, just like me. After our ALS graduation I continue my
studies by enrolling in college and I took up bachelor in elementary education major in sped. I also
wanted to be a teacher so that I can help my students in building a brighter future. Luckily Allah
permitted me to be a teacher. THE woman was hopeless before is now a Licensed Professional Teacher.
We must remember that if we really want something then go for it. If we want a good future then start
working on it. If there's a will, there's a way ,thus there is no hindrance in educating oneself.

Once again Congratulations and Mabuhay ALS, Mabuhay Mobile teachers, mabuhay po tayong lahat.
