Speech

Ladies and gentlemen good morning.

It was four years ago since we entered this school, four years of searching of things we need to know no matter how weary it may be, and that four years is about to end. I can still recall the days that we come to school every day to gain wisdom. I come to think, this day is not the end but actually the start of the new beginning, the beginning of the trials that will test our strengths as we enter the college life.

Going back to our previous years in high school, there are so many things I want to change in my past but I realize that I cannot return it back.

The corny jokes we shared together, the laughter and tears we had that strongly binds us was truly unforgettable. And most of all the friendship that rose in this school between us classmates.

Our schooling wouldn’t be possible without the helping hands of the people behind us. With all their spiritual, moral, emotional and financial support, we may not be able to pursue our studies. Our heartfelt gratitude to our parents who were always there for us whenever we need them badly. In spite of the hardships you were able to send us to school just to have us educated. We dedicate you this moment and we hope somehow we may be able to pay you back someday. I will never forget the good values we earned from our mentors. I understand why school is tough, I know it only tests my patience and then later on, I would learn. Likewise to ma’am and sirs our sincere thanks are for you. Without your help, I wouldn’t be able to be a good student, your guidance and teachings were truly useful and we appreciate them. You molded us to become good citizens of our nation and for that we thank you very much. I hope someday we will be able to apply and internalize what you have taught us so that we may be successful in our endeavors.

To my friends and classmates who were always there through all the ups and downs, I’m grateful of your companions, generosity, understanding and care. I hope...
