YACON, DISTRICT SUPERVISOR ,SIR JEFFREY CHARL D. LIGAN, OUR NOBLEST PRINCIPAL, THE
ADMINISTRATION, THE DEDICATED FACULTY AND STAFF , PARENTS, MY FELLOW GRADUATES, FRIENDS ,
GOOD DAY!

I THINK WE WILL ALL AGREE THAT THIS DAY IS INDEED EXTRA ORDINARY. I AM FLOODED WITH
MEMORIES, THE MEMORIES AND REFLECTIONS WHERE OUR SCHOOL EXPERIENCES BEGAN. I AM SURE
THAT LIKE ME, ALL OF US ARE REMINISCING OUR FIRST DAYS OF SCHOOL WHEREIN SIMILAR FEELINGS
WERE RESEMBLE AND THOSE ARE ANTICIPATION AND ANXIETY. PERHAPS, WE HAVE THIS KIND OF
FEELING OF NOT WANTING TO GO BUT TIME HAS COME THAT WE NEED TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT WE
FINALLY FULFILLED THE LAST PAGE OF OUR JOURNEY IN PRIMARY SCHOOL.

TODAY, WE ARE ON OUR LAST STEP OF BEING AN ELEMENTARY STUDENTS. WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE
PEOPLE WE MET, THE LESSONS WE LEARNED, THE TEARS WE SHED, AND THE LAUGHTER WE’VE
SHARED. TODAY, WE SHOW TO OUR SCHOOL, OUR TEACHERS, OUR PARENTS, AND TO THE WORLD
THAT WE ARE NO LONGER CHILDREN, THAT WE ARE READY TO TAKE ONE OF THE TURNING POINTS IN
OUR ACADEMIC LIFE----------HIGH SCHOOL. THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW CHAPTER IN OUR JOURNEY IN
MAKING A TEN STRIKE IN OUR ACADEMIC ENDEAVOUR .

NONE OF THESE WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF OUR ALMIGHTY GOD.
THANK YOU LORD, FIRST AND FOREMOST , I OFFER THIS TO YOU O LORD.THANK YOU FOR GUIDING ME
AND MY FAMILY . TO MY PARENTS, RAQUEL AND ARNEL ANGCON, ALL OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS ARE
NOT ONLY MINE BUT ALSO YOURS. BECAUSE OF YOU, I HAVE THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE MY
ACADEMIC REALM JOURNEY . ON BEHALF OF MY FELLOW GRADUATES, THANK YOU TO ALL THE
PARENTS BEHIND OUR SUCCESS. YOUR UNENDING SUPPORT BROUGHT US INTO THIS DAY OF REAPING
THE FRUIT OF OUR LABOR .

TO ALL THE TEACHERS I HAD FOR SIX YEARS , THANK YOU FOR MAKING US EQUIPPED AND PREPARED
FOR OUR FUTURE. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS THERE, FOR BEING OUR SECOND PARENTS. YOU HAVE
ENDOWED US THE GIFT OF EDUCATION, SKILLS , GOOD MORALS AND CITIZENSHIPS. YOU INSPIRED US
TO WORK HARDER , RESPECT OTHERS AND HONE OUR CRAFT IN EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES. YOU ARE
ALL HIGHLY LOVED AND APPRECIATED.

IN THE END, IT IS NOT THE QUIZZES, EXAMS OR GRADES THAT COUNT. IT IS ABOUT WHAT YOU GAINED
AS A PERSON THAT MATTERS. IT IS ABOUT LEARNING YOUR MISTAKES AND TRYING TO BE BETTER.

AS WE END A GLORIOUS CHAPTER IN OUR LIVES, A NEW ONE BEGINS. WE HAVE ANOTHER FRESH BLANK
PAGE AHEAD. LET US ALL WRITE A GOOD STORIES IN IT SO WE CAN HAVE GOOD EXPERIENCES TO TELL.
THE DIPLOMA DOESN’T REPRESENT THE END, BUT INSTEAD IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING
NEW , SOMETHING SPECIAL.

AS WHAT RALPH WALDO EMERSION SAID, “DO NOT FOLLOW WHERE THE PATH MAY LEAD. GO INSTEAD
TO WHERE THERE IS NO PATH AND LEAVE A TRAIL. FELLOW GRADUATES , WE ARE NO LONGER
ELEMENTARY STUDENTS, WE WIL BE HAVING NOW HEAVIER RESPONSIBILITIES AND TASKS TO FACE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A PASSAGE I’VE READ. “ REACH FOR THE SKY, EVEN IF YOU MISS, YOU WILL
LAND AMONG THE STARS”.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GRADUATES OF BATCH 2021-2022. LET’S FIND A NEW PATH AND LEAVE A
TRAIL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOOD DAY !
