TO THE GRADUATES

(it was not too distant past when I completed my 4 years blue-checkered skirt in High School at my beloved NNSF. Parting from my beloved Alma Mater is really sad, farewell to consider yet we must! I'm sharing this 'commencement message' to all High School graduating students...)

Greetings!

Graduation is definitely a significant milestone in your life for at last, you finally made it… and you did it very well!

It will not only bring you great pride of yourselves and of your parents but it also ushers you to another step as you conquers life’s battle.

I am confident with the knowledge & values education you have achieved from your Alma Mater as your foundation that will propel you to a greater opportunity to pursue for a higher learning and give you greater possibilities in the future.

Your time is at the crucial road of living and in seeking for the reality, and in finding what is ‘real’ you will undergo experiences that will measure your endurance, but always remember it is only when the truth hurts that we enjoy the happiness of freedom, and the very essence of happiness is spelled ‘SUCCESS’.

Now that you are stepping out of the shelter that has protected you for many years, it is fitting that you commend firstly: thank God for the wonderful years of teaching & learning; for without Him it would be impossible to accomplish our endeavors each day and attain our aspirations in life;

Thank your parents, who never failed to back you up, be it emotionally, spiritually, and financially and for the mere fact that they had been there all throughout;

Thank the ideal teachers who serves as instruments of hopes, notwithstanding the burdens and sacrifices of their noble profession; Thank your friends who shared behind you through thick and thin as you live and grow enormously together. Most of all thank and congratulate yourselves because you dared to dream, conquered and accomplished!

I foresee that the bright years ahead are waiting for you after your High School Graduation, as one of the measures of the school’s greatness, is in the quality of its graduates. Carry on!

Congratulations and God Speed!
