Address of Thanks

To our beloved, dynamic and always gorgeous ACLC School directress madam Emmalyn P. Sirios,
to our very English enthusiast and the alluring captain of batch 2 of CCS ma’am Yveth, to our super
dedicated school registrar ma’am Junabelle, one of the personnel of the ACLC who really have become
part of this momentous day. And of course, how could I forget my awesome, smart and behaved dear
classmates who are all in here excited to receive their certificate of accomplishment. Konbanwa minna,
or should I say, a pleasant evening to each one of us. It was not so long ago, actually a month or more
had just passed when our journey began. For most of us, we entered CCS NCII training with nothing
more than a dream or goal in mind, and today, at this very moment, January 13, 2020, together we
stand as survivors armed with knowledge, skills and values to bring this dream closer to reality. To
others, this ceremony may simply be equated as the end of the tunnel, or a breath of relief, or an
exultation over freedom, but after weeks, days, and dawns doing activities under the nurture of ACLC,
we know it is much more than any of these. Our mentor ma’am yveth, parents and colleagues have
constantly been our guide.

To the ACLC College of Iriga headed by madam Emmalyn P. Sirios, you have enkindled our spirits
with your warm welcome. Tank your for allowing us to grow in your home and develop into principled
individuals we have become today. You have truly been reflections of God and we shall forever treasure
our short yet enriching stay here in ACLC.

To our dearest mentor, you have done more than words can express. We understand we were
far from perfect students, and that more than once, we brought you much disappointments,
frustrations, and even rage… anyway let us disregard the word rage because as we all know, we haven’t
ever seen ma’am Yveth become angry, right?. Today we show you our sincerest gratitude for molding
our characters and for showing us that there is still much to learn even for a short period of time.

To our beloved parents and families, the true foundations of who and what we have become,
you deserve to share every honor we receive today. You have continuously strengthened and inspired
us. Thank you po.

To the office staff and the maintenance personnel, particularly kuya Louie for not leaving us
every time we have a conflicting schedule, and also chief Francis, for not closing the doors. Thank you
for the weeks of patience, for the support of course. Your silent presence and love will always make you
a part of our memories.

To my classmates, my colleagues, my friends, you guys colored this journey with learnings,
shared experience and the majority of it is laughter, Ive never felt pressured at all through the training
because of you. These ties shall remain strong wherever life may lead us.

And to our almighty Father, the beginning and end of all things , we only stand here today
because you called us to enter and guided us on our way. Thank you for the blessings and the
opportunities, all glory is offered back in your name.

As we part, we do not know where life shall take us, but we steer behind the wheel.

It is- and always will be- an honor and joy to have been part of this batch, FAMILY rather.
Thank you all and good evening!
