Education and Life

To my fellow students, respected school administrators, beloved parents and teachers. A heartwarming day to all you.
It is a great honor for this opportunity to speak on behalf of the graduating class batch 2013-2014.
Fellow classmates, today is an important day in our lives as we are about to close the door on one chapter of our lives and prepare to take the next. Graduation is a new start with new opportunities. Now as we leave this campus and move onto the next chapters of lives we will carry with us not only the things we learned from the books, but also the lessons life has taught us.
It is as if it was only yesterday since we first stepped in the High School of Tres Niños, four years ago. We were nervous, thinking what is it feels like to be a high school students. It has been four years since we struggle for hard years of learning, searching for our dreams, altogether, the allotted precious times of joy and sadness with friends and classmates.
But also know that amidst our struggles, there were people watching our back; people who taught us the way of life and God; people whom we owe thanks and love. We did not fight this alone. We had comrades. We had mentors. We had God. Most of all we had parents. We have them as long as we live.
With this opportunity we would like to thank our teachers for being our second parents, all of you have been a mentor of life, we will always be thankful for all the hard work and effort you have put in, for educating us. We found guidance, discipline and love, not just by being a teacher but also as a friend, mentor and guide. Every one of you gave us inspiring words which made a difference in our lives. Without you we would’ve been lost. Thank you for guiding and molding us. Thank you for creating an environment of enthusiasm for learning. Thank you for your constant support and encouragement. Every one of you deserves big thanks for everything and all of you are the best!
To our parents, first of all we want to thank you for giving us life. We just wanted to tell how much you mean to us as you have guided and loved us through our lives. You are our first teacher, the first one who taught us how to read and write. Thank you for guiding us to distinguish what is wrong and what is right. Thank you for allowing us to dream and soar. Thank you because you both sacrifice many things in your life so that we wouldn’t sacrifice anything. Thank you because you never failed to supports us in all endeavors. For our dads, we are thankful for telling us what we are capable of, for giving us support that we needed to build our dreams and to chase after them. Thank you for spending countless hours after you got home from work each night. For our moms, thank you for making us realize that we are worth everything in this world. Thank you for giving us a shoulder to cry on when we are down. Thank you because both of you showed us how hard work and what true battle looks like. Thank you for showing us true love in its rarest form, what it feels like and how it can extend beyond life’s obstacles and challenge. We are lucky to have parents like you who love us to bits. Even though they might say you are imperfect you are perfect to us. We love you and we are very thankful that you are our parents. Our success is your success.
Thank you Almighty God, for placing us in a loving home with such great parents. They are our inspiration in life, we have learned so much from them. Thank you for giving us our first hero and our role model. Thank you for giving us great mentors/teachers who guided us in the right path of education and right track of life. With them we are sure that life would be a successful journey. Thank you God because of you we have the most important people in our lives, without you we cannot experience love and we cannot become a better individual. Keep us all close to you and listen to our prayers. Thank you God for all the blessings.
