Prom Last Will and Testament Speech by Marie Corsine Honor S.

Marie Corsine Uy

Good evening soon-to-be ladies and gentlemen, teachers, and beloved school director. We’ve all had an
astonishing school year full of mistakes, misunderstandings, laughs, smiles, and other flotsam and
jetsam. There have been many times when we had wished that all time would slow down to a stop, the
reason being for that particular moment not to pass us by, that we could relish in the endless gaiety of
life’s delectations. However, every beginning has its end, every alpha has its omega, every delight has its
downfall; and as it is, every freshman will eventually reach his or her senior year. We, the seniors, used
to be amateur freshmen. After four years of mishaps and many, many other experiences, we have
developed into the seniors that we are now. But, at the present, we are soon to leave this senior year
and set foot in a new adventure, a new perspective of life: college. We will be leaving the domain of
Maternelle Academy in less than two months. Two short, exciting months is all we have left of this school
year. Next school year, you, the juniors, will be called “seniors” in our stead, which will mean great
opportunities, responsibilities, and challenges will be bestowed onto your shoulders and into your hands
for you to mold and shape as you see fit.

On today’s occasion, the JS Prom 2015, we, the Seniors of Maternelle Academy’s Graduating Batch 2014-
2015 will soon be departing from our alma mater to a new stage in life. We, the seniors, will be placing
on your, the juniors’, shoulders the task of sustaining the name of the senior class. We know you will
perform this task well, as each batch has their own unique identity. We have the utmost confidence in
you. In this will, we entrust to you our assets; here, we pass them on to you.

If the Chicago Bulls have Michael Jordan, and the Lakers have Magic Johnson, then the seniors have their
own basketball MVP’s, specifically mentioning Christian stian Dave Rostata Daep and Jonathan Sta.
Teresa. With their phantom-like footwork and les parfoises stances no one can predict their must move
on the court. They leave their sweaty jerseys to all of the male juniors.

When boredom strikes during class hours, everyone tries to keep himself or herself from falling asleep,
with a few notable exceptions. Proving that their prowess allow them sleep through multiple rackets,
clamors, and chaos, Joshua Bustamante, Jacob Bustamante, Dhanielle Sanchez, and Shania Gonzaga, the
experts in the art of sleeping leave their sleeping pillows to Ulbert Garces, and Thirdy Abangan, as well
as their sleeping trophies to Jarod Erasmo and Algie Dael.

If “a picture is worth a thousand words”, then more than a million pictures would have already been
developed by Dhanielle Sanchez, Shania Gonzaga, Jonathan Sta. Teresa, Jacob Bustamante, Joshua
Bustamante, Christian Daep, Macky Demecillo, and Ahl Khryss Quiapo. With their generosity in sharing
their knowledge at random times, they leave their last chatters, filters, and selfies to all the all the
juniors.

She can dress up in the most sassiest styles possible, and if there is anyone who takes more care of her
looks than this girl, that person would be having facial surgery. The one and only Shania Gonzaga, leaves
her ability to beautify is passed on to another lover of beauty: Tatyannah Collamat.
The baby is now a lady? That is the question, because though smart yet lady-like, she still has to grow up.
Pretty and K-Dot, she will always be our baby girl – the crème de la crème, Dhanielle Sanchez, who
leaves her prudent, pretty, and astounding looks to all the female juniors.

The Voice divas, otherwise known as the girls with the golden voices, Marie Corsine Honor Uy and
Allyshan Mulet bequeath their 24-karat vocal cords to Benjie Abella and Darla Jugno.

“More Than Words” could not apply to these ladies to be mentioned. They could talk nonstop for hours.
The Queens of Talk, Dhanielle Sanchez and Shania Gonzaga, pass on their scepters of immortal words to
Elvie Alvarez and Tatyannah Collamat.

“White hair is the crown of wisdom and experience.” Now, white hair is not always a sign of old age, and
the evidences would be Dwight Torreon and Marian Zosa, who have lots of them. They may be our
grandparents, our youthful lolo’s and lola’s, but pass on their crowns to Tatyannah Collamat.

With every Pinoy movie, there’s always a love team: Kathniel (Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla),
KimXi (Kim Chiu and Xiam Lim), JaDine (James Reid and Nadine Lustre). But among the seniors, we have
our very own Dwight Torreon and Marian Zosa, whose skinny love never fails to amaze us. This love team
is delighted to pass on their chemistry and history to Anne Zosa and Blithe Jan Gonzales of the juniors.

As fun as hearing echoes in wide spaces is, it’s even more fun to have a live echo repeating after your
words wherever you go, and even adding a joke or two here and there. Famed comedian Jonathan Sta.
Teresa, passes on his talent to make everything so much funnier to both Mekko Milliares and Jarod
Erasmo.

The class of uniforms is an eclectic whorl of Technicolor. But another world of kaleidoscopes exists, just
not in the way you expect it to be. You’ll see the people who follow this dress code most in a secluded
office writing a thousand sentences repeatedly. Motley-clothed Shania Gonzaga, Dhanielle Sanchez,
Jacob Bustamante, and Joshua Bustamante hand over their no-uniform clothing style to Thirdy Abangan
and Algie Dael.

Don’t you ever get both annoyed and amazed with people who eat as much food as a vacuum cleaner
can suck up dust, yet never gain weight? The seniors have their very own food vacuum, although she
isn’t as lightweight as she was before. Mikhaila Dahil donates all her food to Thirdy Abangan.

Pinoy number one problem: height. But at a 5’10 stature, Jose Miguel Danao has nothing to worry about.
He would be delighted to pass on his towering stature to all of the juniors, males and females alike… and
hopefully partly to the rest of the seniors as well.

We, the seniors, would like to share and pass on our big hearts to you juniors, for we have every
intention and desire to help you in your progress any way we can, whether it be big or small, extravagant
or subtle.

Juniors, we are handling down to you these assets for a more successful year to come. On behalf of the
seniors, allow me to express my thanks and deepest appreciations to the people who have helped us
become who we are today, and who have helped us reach this high a height of the ever-ascending
stepping stones of life.

Thank you Teachers Jess Cajilig, the seniors’ advisor, who wasn’t able to make it to this majestic event,
Rudlyn Mistula, Raymart Gabutan, Camille Cui, Kaye Satinitigan, Lucille Catalan, Jurren Lacson, Glenn
Bazar, Winnie Labra, Ronel Añosa, Maylene Miral, Joy Semblante, Charise Camay, Leslie Mulet, Valerie
Cui, Sir Ramon Cui, Alfreda Busmeon, Analyn Sinugbuhan, Tiffany Ruelan, Madeleine Torregosa, Judith
Ceniza, and Krisani Guille for always encouraging us to do our best and give 110% at everything we do
and have to do.

Thank you juniors for always sharing your smiles when times seem bleak. Keep up the good work – both
in educational and social aspects.

Soon, we may be walking different paths, most probably away from one another. We are soon to be at a
crossroads. We will soon be required to choose which road to take, which yellow brick road to reach a
beautiful, glittering Emerald City. We can only dream, hope, and pray that one day, fate will decide for all
of us to meet again at the right place, time, and situation. Thank you, and once again, good evening to
you all.

(As requested by Sir Ramon for me to post my speech on this website)
