All the best and have a good morning. And congratulations to all graduates!

You've encountered a lot of

challenges and overcame them with your own perseverance and courage. I am aware that you guys are
under a lot of pressure as graduation draws near. All of you desired to graduate, and you did! You have
already shown that you are capable and accountable enough to carry your own weight by doing that.
After all, I've been in your position. As a student, I was likewise innocent. What adversity was, I had no
idea. However, everything changes when I go to college. From a stress-free student to a stressed college
student. Deadline after deadline. It was exhausting trying to balance everything. Even I was wondering if
I had made the appropriate college course choice. However, I persisted despite that. I want to realise a
dream. I have to graduate and dedicate my diploma to my family, who have been my staunchest
supporters despite the fact that I might failed. You see, I didn't have that much confidence in me. I was
an introvert kind of person. I always love silence and serendipity. But I soon realised that it wasn't
enough. I ought to achieve more than I should be given and I previously had high dreams as a student,
and now here I am fulfilling those dreams. My family and I are both pleased that I complete my
schooling. landed a job. and achieved success. Of course, it was difficult. I was initially lost. I wasn't sure
which direction I should go in as it might affect my future. But I didn't let the uncertainty overwhelm me.
I made the decision to study medicine and surgery at Southwestern University in Cebu. I was torn
between going and staying because I would have to leave my family behind, but I persisted and finished
my studies keeping them in mind. It was not easy, I also encounter trouble while studying in Cebu. My
performance was that of an average person. I experience failure and learned from that failure. I am not
talented and intellegent like other people. But I was thankful for all of the help I receive while studying. I
wasn't alone. I have my friends and family, whom support me wholeheartly. I am so grateful to have
such wonderful friends. Therefore, you should all be pleased with your family. They serve as a pillar of
your success. Through thick and thin, they remain by your side. They persisted in encouraging your
accomplishment and didn't give up on you. Not only should you be proud of your accomplishments, but
also of your family. One of the essential ingredients for success is perseverance. And you, you should be
proud of what you've accomplished. Never stop learning, developing, or pursuing your dreams. Your
graduation is evidence of your perseverance, effort, and dedication. You can only enjoy and thrive in life
when you are aware of and passionate about the future you want to create. Congratulations once more!
