Words of gratitude

Good morning, everyone. I am honored and humbled to stand here today as the representative of the
completers class of this Moving Up Ceremony School Year 2023-2024, with the theme “Kabataang
Pilipino Para sa Matatag na Kinabukasan ng Bagong Pilipinas”.

Today is a day of celebration, reflection, and gratitude. We have reached the end of one chapter of our
lives, and we are about to begin a new one. But before we do that, let us take a moment to thank the
people who have helped us get here.

First of all, I would like to thank our teachers, who have been our mentors, guides, and friends
throughout our academic journey. They have taught us not only the subjects, but also the skills and
values that we need to succeed in life. Secondly, I would like to thank our parents, who have been our
biggest fans, cheerleaders, and supporters since day one. They have given us unconditional love, care,
and encouragement. They have sacrificed their time, money, and comfort for our education and well-
being. Thirdly, I would like to thank our friends, who have been our companions, partners, and
confidants throughout our school years. They have shared with us their joys, sorrows, hopes, and
dreams. They have laughed with us, cried with us, studied with us, and played with us. Lastly, I would
like to thank God, who has been our source of strength, wisdom, and grace throughout our lives. He has
blessed us with talents, opportunities, and challenges that have shaped us into who we are today.

As we close this chapter of our lives and open a new one, let us remember these words of gratitude that
we have expressed today. Let us cherish the people who have made a difference in our lives and
continue to honor them with our words and deeds. Let us also remember to be grateful for every
blessing that we receive and every challenge that we face in the future. Let us live each day with
gratitude in our hearts and minds.

Thank you all for listening and congratulations to the class of 2023-2024!
