“Your life is your story and the adventure ahead of you is the journey to fulfill

your own purpose and potential.”

To our president and administrator headed by Mrs. Aurora F. Leones, ma'am,

to our special guest of honor, Mr. Mark Darren F. Cacanindin, to our beloved

principals, Mr. Bert B. Geneta from the high school department and Mrs. Ruth A.

Santos from the elementary department, to our teachers who never gave up on us,

members of the faculty and staff, to our loving parents, my fellow completers, and

guests, a pleasant afternoon.

It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the commemoration of the Agoo

Kiddie Special School 2022 Moving Up Ceremony. I extend my warmest

congratulations to all those receiving completers and certificates today and

acknowledge the support that has helped us along the way. To all the family and

friends with us today, and to those who could not be here in person and are watching

the ceremony, or thinking of us as we celebrate this moment, thank you.

Two and more than half year ago, a pandemic strike the world that caused a

ruckus. COVID-19 virus affected millions and millions of people and that includes us,

students. It is truly challenging coping with the new setup of our educational system it

impacted us to the point that we needed to use online classes. Not having a face to

face classes and physical communication became our “New Normal” and yes, it was

difficult. Like what most of the Gen Z usually say “ The Struggle is Real.”

Today is a moment to reflect on how we spent our time here as the world has

changed around us. As we enter a new chapter, it is the earnings through learnings

that will guide us to our continuous growth. We will be forever grateful to have been

part of this Alma Mater. I am more than sure that we will face much harder challenges
but with the help of our parents and the foundation that AKSS gave, our next journey

will be subtle.

As we reflect on our time at AKSS, on all that we have done here, on the

learning and the leading in which we have engaged ourselves and as we take in deeply

and nostalgically the invigorating air of our success, my hope is that everyone will

carry the torch of AKSS with you, wherever you go. Let us continue to be a force for

good in the world. This is our platform, and this is the charge that comes with our

certificates and diplomas. Again, Congratulations to all the completers. And I

welcome YOU ALL to AKSS COMPLETION CEREMONY. Mabuhay, AKSS!
