Whether big or small, I believe that all deserve to be acknowledged,
recognized and celebrated in any way. And for that, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations for your achievement today. To the parents, who brought their children to junior high school four years ago, congratulations and a big salute for uniquely contributing in forming a now more confident, competent, hopeful and more compassionate future citizen. To the teachers, who successfully played as second parents to these young children, I have nothing but respect and admiration for all your efforts and sacrifices in molding these students become who they are today – a better version of themselves. And now to you my dear completers, as you are in the phase of your life when things are about to change, take time to reminisce all the things you had in the last four years and ponder how you can use them in the next two more years of high school. Your school has done its job. They have given their best to deliver quality education to you to the best way they can and through the best possible facility they can provide. They have given you the necessary tools – academically, morally and spiritually in order for you to face life ahead more responsibly and respectfully. So as you enter the gateway of Senior High School, take it as an opportunity to grow more as a student and develop as a frontrunner of the future. Do not forget to have fun but don’t take your studies for granted. Remember, that one of the best treasures on earth is your education. So if you invest and work for it, it will surely pay you with success. One thing more, I would like tell you that you were born for a great purpose. You are needed by this country and in this world. You have a great role in making this nation a better place to live in. Never doubt your good purpose because of your past failures. Whatever failures you had in the past won’t define who you are. What matters more is your attitude towards your failure – did you let it consume you or strengthen you by learning from it? Your life in the future is never finalized by your past failures and mistakes. You have a bright future ahead of you. It is never too late to make your life better. The best people who can guide and help you improve your decisions in life are already around you – your parents, teachers and the people who really care about you. So as you enter the next two years of your life, find your passion and do your best. Moreover, be willing to keep on learning and maintain a positive attitude. The road to success is littered with struggles. There is no shortcut of success. So you should learn to climb every mountain of difficulty and swim every ocean of obstacle with discipline and positive attitude. Be positive and believe that you can do it. Lastly, anchor your faith and trust to God – the source of all wisdom and our guidance. Trust in Him with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He shall surely direct your path. Again, congratulations.
