A pleasant afternoon everyone especially to our dearest Guests, to our Principal Ma'am Maribel Gocalin,

teachers, parents, and my fellow graduates!

Today, we are celebrating the success of the fruitful end of our elementary education and the beginning
of the new chapter in our school life. I know that all of us are in mixed emotions, but this is the time to
celebrate for we are able to finish and accomplish something that we can be proud of. In behalf of my
fellow graduates, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Dear Lord, and those who have
helped us achieve our dreams.

I'm standing here in front of everybody, having this feeling of pride and happiness. Because I have
proven to myself that I can be the best of what I am only if I will strive hard and have a sense of
determination and perseverance. I am also happy because all my efforts and sacrifices were well paid
off. These achievements that I have today are the fruits of my labors. . And I know I could not be in my
best if not because of my Mom, Dad and Ate who were always there to guide me. Mom & Dad, Thank
you so much for tirelessly reminding me of how important education is (I'm sorry sometimes if I make
you feel like I'm tired, but now I know why you're being strict with me, thank you coz you never give up
on me. I love you mom and Dad

I would like to thank my teacher mentors and advisors, for their determination, sacrifices and
perseverance in teaching me and my fellow graduates, First of all I would like to Thank you Ma'am Jenny

thankful as well for the never ending support that you gave me, and for believing in me and in my
potential.

and my future.

Ma'am Cecilia for accepting me to be a part of the pilot section in 6th grade which is Mt.Apo, Thank you

Ma'am Perpetua for making me more fluent and to be confident while talking in tagalog (even tho im a
filipino)

Sir Efren and Ma'am Rona for the lessons in EPP about business ( im also thinking of making my own
business ) and Ma'am thank you for pushing me to my limits when it comes to music and arts, even
though i don’t have a singing voice you still encourage me to still try, as well in arts, you inspired me to
try out arts and by trying i learned that i actually have a talent in arts.

Ma'am Herlene for as well challenging me in math, your way of teaching is so inspirational that it turned
math into my favorite subject, and for giving me the opportunity to participate in the division math
festival in the section if math quiz bee.

And of course Thank you Ma'am Elaine in, again believing in me, and making me try out in journalism, of
course after some training and some tips i learnt that i do have a passion in writing, i even used it here
right now in my speech

Thank you again to my mentors, teachers and advisors, I learned a lot of things from you, which I will
value as I continue getting through my dreams. Thank you for the hardships, sacrifices and opportunities
you all have made for us, for using your time, to Teach us and guide us in our last year of middle school,
for this we really are grateful, we will continue to learn for your sacrifices will not go to waste, we all
have learned something somehow, We will continue to thrive not only for our future but also for the
name of our beloved school.

It truly has been really hard these past few months, even i can agree, even tho it was hard it was truly
worth it for the hours we had to sacrifice so let’s not rush it, as a wise man once said "Every journey has
its end, Don’t Rush"

Young as I am today, I can say that failures and trials should not be the reason for us to say no and never
try to do something, rather let us make them an inspiration to do better. Let them strengthens our
character.

And to my dear co-graduates, and to my friends who walk along with us, side by side. Even though in a
short span of time we have been together, thank you for the joyful stories that I will treasure ( you know
you all are? ,rojaney,maxee,bendulo,dave,agatha,reign,keith,kurl at kay zavinna ) Thank you for the time
and memories we have spent together.

Because of them, we can really say, “We made it!”

Let us all clap out hands for them

Congratulations fellow graduates.

Salamat at Mabuhay!
