PARENTS, GUESTS, PRE-SCHOOL LEARNERS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GOOD
MORNING!
MY MOMMY TOLD ME THIS MORNING THAT I SHOULD ENJOY EVERY
MOMENT OF OUR VIRTUAL CELEBRATION AS THIS EVENT MARKS OUR
GRADUATION FROM PRE-SCHOOL. MY PAPA SAID THAT WE WILL BE
REWARDED FOR HAVING DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB IN SCHOOL DESPITE THE
CHALLENGES OF THE PRESENT TIMES.
IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY WHEN WE HAD OUR FIRST DAY IN
SCHOOL. BACK THEN, I REMEMBER SOME OF US WOULD CRY EVERYTIME
OUR MAMA WOULD LEAVE US IN OUR CLASSROOM; WHILE SOME OF US
WOULD COME UP WITH EXCUSES SO OUR PARENTS WOULD ALLOW US TO
MISS OUR CLASS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
LOOKING BACK, I REMEMBER THE MANY CHALLENGES THAT WE HAD
TO OVERCOME, AND THE CHANGES AND ADJUSTMENTS WE HAD TO MAKE,
JUST TO BE HERE TODAY…NOW, FULL OF CONFIDENCE AND PROMISE!
HENCE, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR SINCERE GRATITUDE TO
EVERYONE WHO HELPED US MAKE IT THROUGH OUR PREPARATORY
SCHOOL.
TO THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR AND STAFF, THANK YOU FOR
WORKING SO HARD JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO ENJOY THE
BEST QUALITY OF EDUCATION DESPITE THE PANDEMIC.
TO OUR BEAUTIFUL ADVISER, TR. JESIECA C. BULAUAN, THANK YOU
FOR PATIENTY HELPING US ADJUST SMOOTHLY TO VIRTUAL LEARNING. WE
WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL TO YOU AND TR. LADY ANN DAQQUIL FOR
MAKING OUR ONLINE CLASSES FUN, EXCITING, AND EASY TO ADOPT. THANK
YOU FOR ALL THE WISDOM GAINED!
I ALSO EXTEND OUR GRATITUDE TO OUR FORMER TEACHERS, TR.
MARILEN DOMINGO AND TR. FARAH BALISI, FOR BEING PART OF OUR PRE-
SCHOOL JOURNEY.
 TO MY CLASSMATES, THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER
CHAPTER OF OUR SCHOOL LIFE. WE MAY BE FACED BY TOMORROW’S
UNCERTAINTIES, BUT WE WILL NOT STOP FROM PRAYING THAT WE WILL
SOON GO BACK TO LEARNING TOGETHER--FACE-TO-FACE, AND ENJOY THE
WONDERFUL WORLD OF GRADE SCHOOL!
TO ALL MY TITOS, TITAS, MAMAS AND COUSINS, THANK YOU FOR THE
SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT.
TO MY GRANDPARENTS, KONG-KONG AND AMMA, YOUR LOVE,
CONCERN AND SUPPORT MEANS A LOT TO ME. MY MAMA LUMIE, THANK

AND MAMA WHEN MOMMY IS NOT AROUND. I LOVE YOU ALL!
TO MY PAPA, MOMMY AND ACHI, I DEDICATE THIS DAY AND MY
LITTLE ACHIEVEMENTS TO ALL OF YOU. I’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER TO
DREAM BIG BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU WILL DO EVERYTHING TO HELP
MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!
LASTLY, TO OUR ALMIGHTY GOD WHO MAKES ALL THINGS POSSIBLE,
I PRAISE AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING US GOOD HEALTH, WISDOM AND
