As we gather here tonight, we will witness the dream that was reached, the dream that is not the end but only the beginning of all the hardships, trials and obstacles that we have encountered. When this night ends, we will face a new tomorrow and will lead to the better future ahead. This night marks the end of our arduous study for four years as high school students. Let’s go further like a game says, “Move on to the next level” which is a time to face a new phase of our lives, the tertiary level of education, being a college one.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank first GOD our Father who gave me strength to accomplish well my task and for this wonderful gift of Him that I have. His Son Jesus Christ who always stays by my side and keeps me away from harm. His mother Mary for always granting my wishes whenever I called her and the Holy Spirit who enlightens me to become a better person than before.
