To our district-in charge Dr. Myrna S.

Lauron, to
our school head Mr. Joel B. Asonto, to the faculty
and staff of Carpenito Integrated School, to the
parents, to the students, and to my fellow
graduates, a pleasant day to each and every one.
First and foremost, I would like to extend my
gratitude to the following: first, to our all mighty
God for bringing us together in this momentous
event in our lives. Second, to our ever-supportive
parents for being there in our ups and downs. Third,
to the faculty and staff of CIS headed by Mr. Joel B.
Asonto for honing our skills and attitudes to become
productive ang globally competitive individuals. And
last but not the least, to my schoolmates and fellow
graduates for the friendship, experiences, and
unforgettable memories together.

This school year has been a very difficult year

for all of us as COVID-19 changes our ways of living
and our mode of learning. However, despite of the
current situation, we still managed to endure every
hardship and succeed in our studies and
undertakings. Hence, it is evident that if there is
perseverance, determination, and faith in God,
everything is possible and achievable. Believing in
our own capabilities, trusting the advises of the
people who really care, and loving what we are
doing are the secrets in reaching our goals and
dreams in life. Though we are separated by distance,
our relationship and connection with one another
will last a lifetime.
In my 12 years in Carpenito Integrated School, I
learned to become a responsible person in my
studies and active citizen in my community. My
experiences and the teachings of my teachers
broaden my perspectives in life, and taught me to
become a better person to better serve my
community and my country as a whole. Despite of
the negative thoughts and hardships I experienced
during my studies, still I tried to be inspired to
continue and not give up in order to become what I
am today and in the near future. I owe everything to
my supportive and loving family as well because
they taught me that our current status in life is not a
hindrance to succeed in my studies. They made me
realized that if there is willingness to learn new
things and courage to face problems, I can do better
and excel in every aspect of life.
 Fellow Filipino students, I am hoping that years
from now, when we look back to our experiences in
school, we can remember the moral lessons we
learned and the unforgettable memories we shared
together. I am challenging everyone to live our lives
meaningfully to the fullest and let sail our goals
higher for the future without fear of failure but
rather filled with joy, hope, perseverance and
determination. I know that right now we are
thinking about our future, and can not wait to see
what we will become. Let’s just trust in God and do
our part for He will guide and help those who
believe in Him and those who stay humble in His
name. I strongly believe that grades do not define
our level of intelligence and do not define our
future. It’s just a matter of mindset and hard work.
No matter what path we choose, let’s just do our
best at all times and God will do the rest.

Congratulations graduates and completers of

batch 2021. Keep up the good work, stay focus, and
keep safe.
