Lacorte, Denver Lian F.

10-Diligence

Ladies and gentlemen,

This morning, I stand prior to you not just a student and a speaker, but as a
tribute to strength, and flourishing resolve. It is with great honor and admiration
that we reflect on the journey thus far and cast our eyes forward to the bright
horizons that await.
Think about on this moment, on this very day, as a breakthrough in your
adventure. Every challenge is an opportunity, every setback a lesson, and every
dream a possibility. Don’t doubt yourself if you can or can’t do it. Silence all those
doubtful words in your head and keep on growing.
Thrive and expand, learn from your mistakes and take advantage of them. Ask
for help, sometimes asking for help is a good thing, and remember, you are not
alone. Believe, persist, and soar beyond the horizon, for the world eagerly awaits
the brilliance of your spirit.
So, to my future self and the people in front of me, please never be ashamed of
trying, it will give you experience in life. Life can be heavy, especially if you try to
carry it all at once. Try doing things one at a time. Also, life can be cruel and
unfair sometimes, but try to endure it until the end because I know you can do it.
Thank you.
