Graduation time is here once again!
Graduating students of Pembo Elementary School felt and expressed mixed emotions. Like what our Grade Consultant (Mrs. Cajigal) said, “Students, this is your day so give your best discipline."
We felt happiness in believing that this is really our day and thinking that we must celebrate because we passed all the challenges in our Elementary Level. We know how ecstatic we are for having hurdled the many challenges that we met along the way – hectic schedules, endless recitations, daily quizzes, project completion, various competitions and varying demands from different personalities.
For those whose burden was made heavier by economic deprivation, graduation is not just a triumph over school work. It is a triumph of life and that calls for a celebration.
Then again, sadness, for the different places, opportunities, and infinite possibilities we must take. Dear fellow candidates for graduation, at our young age, we have reached an important milestone that shall bring us to more and bigger opportunities. And the bigger opportunities are bigger challenges in the bigger arena of our life. And as we move to bigger challenges, don’t forget this year’s graduation theme, “Education: Changing Lives.
Let us take the lessons that we learned from our responsible teachers and apply it in whatever we choose to do. Get to know what we want to become and exert our best efforts to make our dream come true. Develop good habits as our keys to success. Like Frodo in the Lord of the Rings, be relentless until that profound and deepest yearning within us to achieve our goal is satisfied. Bring along this lesson from Mitch Albom’s Tuesday with Morrie, “Devote yourself to your community and to something that gives you purpose and meaning.”
Let us give pride to nation by dreaming big and striving for our aspirations. As we go forward reaching our dreams, fulfilling our ambitions, always focus our sighs on what we want to achieve in life. Treat the obstacles in our life as challenges to make us better person armed and equipped for a far more competitive world!
Congratulations fellow graduates and Godspeed as we set our sails for our journey to a successful future. Aim high! Soar high! As we leave the portals of our beloved and owed Alma Mater, Pembo Elementary School.
