Words of gratitude

To our Chairman of the Board, Rev. Barnabas Lee, to our School Directress, Ma’am Hannah Lee, to our
principal, Ma’am Mila B. Peña, to our guest of honor, school officials, staffs, teachers, schoolmates and
especially to the proud parents, good day! I am beyond grateful and honored to be standing in front of
you representing the graduating class of school year 2022-2023.

I am not the spotlight of this momentous day; every student deserves great recognition and
acknowledgment for every toil they have done. We've spent 6 years under so much pressure and
adversities. Graduates, this is it, the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the moment we thought we’d
never reach. Today we are officially an alumnus of BCMA. A warmest congratulation to all of us.

This momentous day belongs not only to us but also to our family, friends, teachers, fellow students and
other acquaintances.

To our teachers, you teach us on how to enhance our skills, to pursue our dreams, to train up our talent
and to develop our potentials. All of you have contributed to who I am today, and although I am far
perfect, I believe that I am much better person than the person I would have been had I not met all of
you.

To my friends and classmates, the friendship we have made here will last a lifetime and in the same way
we have helped each other to, in some ways survive these 6 years here and in other ways succeed in
these years at BCMA, I hope we will continue to be there for each other.

To my parents, I am forever grateful for the unconditional love, for the support financially, emotionally,
spiritually and for the words of encouragement that have brought me to this remarkable moment.

And this is all possible because of the wonderful love and favor of God. I go down on my knees to thank
you from the depths of my heart for the million ways you have blessed me. You always make me amaze
in many ways; small things, big things and everything in between. I thank you for giving me more than
what I deserve.

To my fellow graduates, our responsibility is to continue what we have now, not to conform to the
world but to be an influence thru being a role model. Often on graduation day we look outside for
heroes but I see them right here among us. I have seen in my years at BCMA that we don’t have to look
far for inspiration and that we each have the potential to make an inspiring contribution to others by
being true to our values and committing ourselves to lofty goals. When you leave here today, celebrate
what you have accomplished but look forward with an eye of perseverance toward how we can be an
inspiration for others. Always be an asset where ever you go.

This is the end of my journey here. Someday, I’ll make you proud. From now on this is no longer my
home, but my Alma Mater. Thank you for the 6 years, BCMA!!

Soar high, BCMAIANS!!

CONGRATULATIONS, Class of 2023!!!

To God be the highest Glory.
