Esteemed Guests, Faculty and staff of Aloguinsan National High School, Parents, and most importantly, our
Dear Completers,

A pleasant afternoon to all!

It is a tremendous honor to speak before you today as we celebrate the completion of our Grade 10
journey. This moment marks a significant achievement for all of us, a testament to our hard work, resilience,
and determination.

I want to start by acknowledging the various challenges we’ve faced. Four years ago, when we were
in Grade 6, we missed the opportunity to walk across the stage and celebrate our achievements due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. The world changed rapidly around us, and we had to adapt to new ways of learning
and interacting. It wasn’t easy, but here we are today, stronger and more resilient because of it.

Today, as we celebrate our accomplishments, we should also look forward with a sense of
excitement and positivity. We are on the brink of new adventures, whether it’s continuing our education,
pursuing our passions, or exploring new interests. The future is wide open, and we have the skills and the
mindset to shape it.

To our parents and families, thank you for your unwavering support. Your encouragement has been
our anchor, especially during the tough times. (Impromptu)

To our teachers and mentors, your dedication and adaptability have been inspiring. You guided us
through unprecedented times with patience and creativity.

And to my fellow completers, thank you for your friendship and camaraderie. Together,
we’ve created memories that will last a lifetime.

Furthermore, as we stand here today, it's important to remember that our success is not defined by
the name or the location of the school we attended, but by our own hard work and determination. The
education we’ve received and the capabilities we’ve developed prove that we can achieve great things,
regardless of any doubts others may have had. Our achievements are a testament to our perseverance and our
belief in ourselves. Let's carry this confidence forward, knowing that we have the potential to succeed in any
environment and overcome any obstacle.

As we move forward into the next chapter of our lives, it's crucial to keep pushing ourselves towards
our goals. There will be challenges and setbacks, but it's our resilience and determination that will keep us
on the path to success. Remember, progress is not always a straight line, but each step we take brings us
closer to our dreams. Embrace the journey, learn from every experience, and never lose sight of the
ambitions that drive you. Together, we have the power to make a significant impact on the world.

Now, I want everyone to stand up. Turn to someone next to you and give them a high five and a
handshake, and say, 'You’ve got this! And Good Luck!

Remember, every great journey starts with a single step. You've declared your first step today.
 As Lao Tzu once said, 'The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.' Keep moving forward,
stay committed, and let's make incredible things happen.

Congratulations, Class of 2024.

Our journey is just the beginning, and I am excited to see where it
takes us.
