Graduation Ball Script
Bess: “You’re going to find naysayers in every turn that you make. Don’t
listen. Just visualize your goal, know exactly where you want to go.
Trust yourself. Never ever be afraid of failure.” – Arnold
Schwarzenegger
Ralph: Their quest for success ignited by their desire to make things
happen rather than watching things happen on their own.
Bess: It is on this very night that we will celebrate four years of buying,
trading, and selling everything you’ve got in this marketplace of ideas
for the pursuit of success.
Bess: We are your hosts for tonight; I am Bess Rompal of the Jacinths
Bess: This night will certainly be one worth remembering, a night for
fun and enjoyment as we arrive to the grandest day of all, Graduation
Day.
Ralph: That’s right Bess, a day when you, the aspiring graduates of this
year finally reap the rewards of your hardwork, dedication, and
relentless efforts towards reaching where you are right now.
Bess: We owe so much gratitude to every person who have made life
more meaningful and of course, the reason why we strive to make a
difference.
Ralph: So many people are proud of you at this moment, seeing the
growth that has transpired in each one of you and of course for the
overwhelming thought of you geared up for tougher battles in the
future.
Bess: But the most relevant people that we should thank for is none
other than our Omnipotent Father and his Son, Jesus, who have been
watching us even before we were born and have constantly showered
us with blessing during the course of our education.
Ralph: So let us begin this celebration with a prayer as a sign of
thanksgiving for the graces we have received. Let us all stand, bow
down our heads and put ourselves in the presence of God. (Prayer)
Bess: There you have it ladies and gentlemen. Dinner is now served.
You may now get your food at the buffet table.

these lovely ladies in their gowns and these dashing gents all suited up

store for us tonight. So to formally begin tonight’s event, may we call
on Ms. Kresta Dolina for the Opening Remarks. A warm round of
applause please.
Bess: Thank You Ms. Kresta Dolina for those kind words. Indeed
graduation is a significant and memorable occasion in a person’s life.
Ralph: I agree Bess. It creates in our minds and hearts mixed feelings
today and varied ideas for the future. Now for the aspiring graduates,
it is a day that marks the end of a four year educational battle in
college. You give a deep sigh of fulfillment and a satisfied smile
afterwards.
Bess: But of course you can’t help but think of the fact that this also
means that the days you have spent with your batch mates will finally
come to an end. The days you were used to before may never be the
same again.
Ralph: I agree Bess and so this is one of those times when we would go
back and remember everything that has happened in the past. Ladies
and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Nico Erwin Espina as he takes us
back to the past and show us the history of the batch we all know and
love- The Iolites. A warm round of applause please.
Bess: Thank You Mr. Nico Espina. Certainly, this batch had a fair share
of ups and downs but still managed to be united especially now that
they are about to graduate. Meanwhile, Ladies and gentlemen, let us
all take a breather and witness the following students as they perform
for us tonight. First, let us witness the singing prowess of RTRMF’s own,
Carl Von Candela of the Kunzites, who was actually our school’s
representative for the recently concluded McDonald’s Tacloban Singing
Star. This will then be followed by an electrifying dance number by
selected Nursing students from the Jacinths and the Kunzites. Let us all
give them a warm round of applause.
Bess: Thank you so much Carl and selected students from the Jacinths
and Kunzites for those awesome perfromances. Indeed, for you, the
aspiring graduates of this year, life as a student nurse in RTRMF was an
awesome ride. Now that you are on the verge of going outside its loving
and supportive foundations, you can’t help but think of what’s next for
you in the future. Ladies and gentlemen, the Batch Prophecy
symbolizes the desires and wishes of the batch in the years to come.
Let us welcome Ms. Arra Charmaine Del Castillo as she takes us to the

diplomas that span of time will solely mark a noble end and an equally

heartfelt and inspiring message. We do thank you in recognition of your
tremendous efforts to guide and help the students acquire the
competence to face the new challenges in the future and triumph over
them. Once again, thank you.
Bess: Laugh if we must, cry if we must, let us part ways if we must, for
what the future holds for us is something sweeter and brighter than
what we have experienced before. I firmly believe that the RTRMF
College of Nursing has prepared you for a more challenging future. The
knowledge, skills and experiences that you have learned should not be
wasted. You have to use them and apply them for further success.
Ralph: Be thankful for your loving parents for all the hard work,
sacrifices, and moral lessons they have instilled in you- the realization
that though life is not well blessed with material things, still there are
so many reasons to be happy. Be thankful to the teaching force for
feeding your minds and hearts with lessons beyond compare, education
you truly deserve.

City. This solid school has never failed in molding and forming globally
competent and efficient healthcare professionals.
Ralph: Be thankful to your batch mates for all the bonding moments
and memories you had. Rest assured that what you have shared will
never be erased in your hearts though time faded or is covered in the
midst of forgetfulness.
Ralph: Tomorrow will never be the same again, and we are left with no
choice but to face it, for it brings us a lot of promises. We have to
march onwards.
Bess: Ladies and gentlemen, the night is still young and I bet we are all
still up for partying the night away. So let’s hit the floor and dance,
dance, dance.
