I really don't know what to call this thing. This wasn't a speech. Maybe more like my last letter
for everyone.
I wouldn't deny the truth that I am still disappointed of how one of my minor subject grade turned
out when we were in first year. It would be a lie if I say I didn't regret a thing. That was the one thing that
I regret the most. If I hadn't been so naive, so
careless, that wouldn't have
happened. I should've been more hard working. I couldn't believe that little 2.25 messed up everything.
But now that I came to a realization that I could never change a thing anymore, I was trying to look beyond
the grades. Beyond all the failed quizzes,
average exams, silly projects, and one-night research works are the memories that would always be remembered.
Okay. I know I'm being a little dramatic here. I'm being emotional because in a matter of days,
we're all having an officially "separated"
lives. I think I'm more emotional right in this moment than in my other graduation days. This time, I
wouldn't just have to change
school, change teacher, change classmates, but there will be a change of worlds.
We hear it everyday. The world of business. That was a very common cliche. But when I thoroughly thought
about it, I'm really, really scared.
Partly because I know I'm still too naive about having a real job and being a real employee. And the other part is
because I don't know if I can
carry on without the people I got used to being around.
But seriously, I would miss everyone. I would miss everything. There was a very special thing about
this whole four years. It has been magical
how we changed to the person we are today. It's magical how we were grouped together. The friendships that were built
was so strong, it would surely
last.
On Friday, we would be wearing our best clothes (under the black academic gown), the cap on our
heads (hopefully not to mess our hairs).
As we take a march to our seats, be in your best stand, keep your chin up. Nobody would care if they see us
overflowing with pride and
confidence. That would be our day. When you walk up that stage to
receive the "diploma"
and shake hands with those people on stage, raise that diploma up high in front of all the people and make
sure to wear your best smile.
Don't forget to take a picture, and show it to everyone who doubted you, who told you that you couldn't make
it this far.
It's okay to feel like kings and queens. It's okay to feel like on top of the world. We've had 4 years
of hard work and on Friday, it’s payback time. We're one step closer to
our dreams.
One last thing. Just another stupid request from your class president. Don't forget about me. Don't
forget about us. Don't forget about everything.
Remember how we shared the moments that were now just fading memories.
Like what I said in my high school speech: "Take God as your inspiration, and you would have
success as a realization of your dreams."
No matter how much we struggled from the last 4 years or from all the years we've been in school, I know and I
believe that life ahead is so much
better. The future is so much brighter. Let's not be sad in parting ways, instead, let's all be glad and
together let's celebrate a promising
future that aw aits us.
Good luck everyone. I will miss you all. Au revior.
