It wasn't long ago that I dared to dream, and it wasn't long ago that I took the first important

steps
toward completing my elementary education.

Today, my batch mates and I are celebrating our success after all these years of struggle,
hardship, and perseverance. We reflect on the challenges that arise along the way of us and
appreciate the victories that have come our way.

(PAUSE for a while)

I've always wanted to be the best when I first started school. So, I worked hard to be at the top of
the class, So, I continue to work hard in order to achieve my goal of being the top student in the
class. I never lost hope; rather, I was motivated to do better, and as a result, I was able to finish
first in my class. 

Standing here in front of everybody, have this feeling of pride and happiness.  Because I've
proven to myself that if I keep working and have a strong sense of determination and
perseverance, I can be the best at what I do. I'm also happy because all of my efforts and
sacrifices have been well paid off.

Mas lalong nagpahirap sa atin ang pandemya, kung saan ang dami nating napagdaanan lalo na sa
ating mga kabataang mag-aaral but our ability to cope with whatever trials comes on our way is
already priceless and proved us that we are strong. Napatunayang din natin sa buong mundo na
kahit ano pa mang kalamidad and dumating sa atin ay nagagawa pa rin nating ngumiti at
tumawa. Naipakita natin sa buong mundo na sa gitna ng lahat ay hindi tayo nawawalan ng pag-
asa. Naipakita rin natin ang ating pagmamahal at pagmamalasakit sa bawat isa sa pamamagitan
ng pagtutulungan.

So, as a young student, I can say that failures and trials should not be used as an excuse to say no
and never try to do something; rather, it should serve as inspiration to do better. Let
them strengthens our character.

And these awards/medals are the result of my efforts. And I know I wouldn't reached this far if
Ome and Abe hadn't always been there to guide me. Panalamatan akn skano sa mala, Ome at
Abe. To my teachers for their unwavering dedication and patience in teaching us. Maam's and
Sir's, we learnt a lot from you that we will value as we continue to getting through our ambitions.

To my fellow graduates, we are closing one chapter of our life and beginning a new one. New
adventures, new friendships, and new challenges await us, but with the lessons we learned at
(_Name of School_), let us continue towards the fulfillment of our dreams and ambitions.

We may face many difficulties along the way, but our burning desire to achieve our goals will
keep us from giving up. There were many uncertainties along the way, but certain inspirations of
light will guide us in the right path.

So, Fellow graduates, 

Let us thank the Almighty ALLAH (s.a.w) for His never-ending love, wisdom and guidance; our
professors for their immeasurable dedication; our parents for their unwavering love and support
throughout these years; and our friends who have walked beside us.

Because of them, we were able to reach this endeavor. Because of them, we can truly say, “WE
MADE IT!”

Let’s clapped our hands for all of them.

Congratulations fellow graduates.

Thank you and Mabuhay.
