VALEDICTORIAN ADDRESS

The Distinguished School President; Mr.Genaro Hierro, Reputable School Directress;

Ms.Cristina Hierro, Honorable Principal; Dr.Amor Sapla, Prefect of discipline; Ma’am Carmen
Awitan, Beloved Teachers and Parents, my fellow students... A very pleasant day to all of you!
Today, we, The GRADUATES bid a fond farewell to our adviser,teachers, classmates
schoolmates, and friends.
Gone are the days of candies, chocolates, teddy bears and lollipops. This day marks our NEW
BEGINNING. The beginning of a new chapter in life; new school, new teachers, new classmates
and friends to meet as another school year begins. New experiences and lessons to learn
NOT ONLY IN CLASS but IN LIFE and new memories to build.
However, we may only say goodbye to the past, as ought to be, but, NOT TO THE MEMORIES,
GREAT LESSONS, MORAL AND VALUES OUR PARENTS AND TEACHERS HAD TAUGHT US. Those
things will forever be cherished.
I take this oppurtunity to thank our School President;Mr.Genaro Hierro for investing in
education and putting up this institution within the community. And to our School Directress,
Ms.Cristina Hierro, thank you, Ma’am, for making our school an extension of our homes, not
only because of the STONE THROW DISTANCE between our residence and the school but, for
making every space of this premises a SAFE HAVEN for us and looking after our welfare.
Our Honorable Pricipal, Dr.Amor Sapla, our prefect of discipline maam Carmen Awitan, Thank
you for guiding our teachers as they guide us at this VERY CRUCIAL STAGE OF OUR LIFE.
Our beloved teachers, especially our adviser; Sir Jesriel Aguilar, words are not enough how
grateful we are for everything you did for us. Thank you so much for patiently working together
with our parents in building a firm foundation within us. Thank you for your DEDICATON in
teaching and preparing us to face the 21st century and for being with us during the hardest
times. But, most of all for your UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND SUPPORT which make us feel your
own sons and daughters.
Dear Parents, no amount can COMPENSATE YOUR LOVE to your children. At this very moment,
may you feel OUR DEEPEST GRATITUDE for your great dreams for us; your children, and for
your hard works to turn such dreams into reality. Moreover for teaching us how to dream and
for supporting our own dreams, and for helping us in becoming THE BEST VERSIONS OF
OURSELVES.
“EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS;” the teaching my parents instilled in my mind. That will
be my inspiration IN LIVING THE PRESENT while BUILDING THE FUTURE and turning every great
dream into reality.
Daddy,Mommy, Your SACRIFICE will forever be RECOGNIZED. They will serve as my ARMOR and
WEAPON to win the battle and excel in EVERY ENDEAVOR IN MY LIFE’S JOURNEY TOWARDS
THE CRAFT GOD SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR ME.
My dear classmates and friends, the sweet memories of our childhood, together we have
created will forever be in my heart. Good luck along your way! May we see each other again,
someday at the end of the road, holding our heads up high and with abig smile on our face
carrying in our hands the unfurled flag of our school; THE LITTLE SHEPHERD CHILD
DEVELOPMENT CENTER.
May God Bless Us All!
