LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT JS PROM 2008 Time flies so fast. We are here now at the departing line: you the juniors to stay, and we, the seniors, batch 2008 of St. Jude Academy, to leave. Being about to pass in this sphere of education, full of dreams and aspirations, and ready to face the challenges the future may uphold, realizing that years may come and go, but there will never be a year like this- do hereby declare this to be our Last Will and Testament. Our Alma Mater, St. Jude Academy, a school recognized for its high standards and quality Catholic Education, will always be remembered. We will never forget all the years that she molded us into what we are now - Achievers - and for that we will be forever thankful. With the guidance and advice given to us by our beloved teachers, with the knowledge gained which can not be repaid, we do hereby distribute equally as possible the interest, skills and qualifications of our class to the succeeding juniors with the hope that our successors may, before departing, continue those we left unfinished. After the fulfillment of our four-year struggle and happiness in this school, we hereby leave this last will and testament to our heirs .. The Juniors! To artist Veronique Villanueva, Jake Prelligera and Xylena Derez we leave the ingenuity and artistry of Maika Yalung, Russel Joaquin, Paul Laiz, Alvin Manliguez, Catherine Torente, Jenine Lllenado, Allyn Martin and Rikka Libatique.

To the scientifically-minded Jewelle Santos, Erica Custodio, Jane Go and Justin Bascon, we leave the accuracy and precision of Russel Jay Joaquin, Kim Aspa, Jeen Salvacion and Ritzel Tan. We leave the cheerfulness and friendliness of Kimberly Aspa to Jane Go. She hoped that she would stay as friendly as she is. The poet Emmarson Patawaran and Jennica Parangue hands down their poetic ability to Ragee Pascual and Jane Go to keep their thoughts and pens well-oiled with practice. We bequeathed thrones and beauties of Rikka Libatique and Monique Maderazo to the Junior charms Kimberly Paderes, Melissa Concha, Christa Bacani, and Cyra Clauna . To those who have the ability to do the body rock we leave the skills of Charmaine Manaligod, Angela Lobenia, Amie Lozano, Allyn Martin, Arra Lariza, Maricris dela Cruz, Crystal De Leon, Bryan Pineda, Bajacan Brothers, Meil Chua and Aldrin Santiago.

To the aspiring prima donnas and balladeers, we leave the music of our nightingale Arra Lariza, Sharmaine Valencia, Jeanine Solian and Dindi delos Santos.

To all the juniors we leave the usufruct of St. Jude Academy, the responsibilities as well as the privileges, the hardships and happiness, the tears and laughters, the do's and donts that we followed, the losses and wins, with the fervent wish that they maintain and uphold the ideals and good name of our beloved school St. Jude Academy. May you continue to Live on. Move on. Fly High! To our Alma Mater, we give our innermost gratitude for imparting to us those precious moments which are unforgettable and joyful. We don't know how to define what we are feeling now but with the Plato-like statement, we say "We thank God we are born Filipinos and not Hindus, freemen not slaves, normal not abnormal and above all, that ning, this 20th day of February in the year 2009, will be greatly rated for being one of the volumes of the most prestigious blockbuster film- our lives. In a few more episodes, we, seniors, will ascend to more difficult tapings and pictorials because we will encounter a greater production; more actors to be met and more roles to be performed. And of course, one thing is for sure: we are always the writer of our own story. As for now, let's congratulate ourselves for we all have been doing so great to make this tale as fulfilling as we want it and as adventurous as we make it. In four years of staying here in this institution, I may conclude that counting the wonderful moments that we shared in our high school days is a mind-boggling thing because even the depressing ones that we lived through contributed in helping us to become what we are today. Yes, even the giving of any sizes of paper during quizzes, "buraotan" during breaks and being "pasaways" in front of our teachers, all are considered factors that made this experience complete and of course, a perfect one. And if we are going to look at it, everything happened in a blast but, much unnoticed. When I made my first footsteps in this school in the early days of my freshman year, one thing I can't forget is our innocent selves just like a blind person who seeks the right path, looking for the white light behind the darkness of that innocence. By all means, we looked for the knowledge we need and we craved for the wisdom we must possess before we depart from this home, from this family. We were so curious about all the things that we encountered everyday but we did not know to whom we must hold on and how to distinguish right from wrong. And because of such blindness, receiving only the radiance of the twilight, some succeeded in knowing all the essential things to be remembered and to be understood by the heart but others got lost in the labyrinth and failed to know the indispensable truth of life. We have encountered many things as high school students but still, our journey will not stop after this stage. And I'm very proud that we never lost hope when failures and disappointments came to our way. We defended what we love, and fought for what we believe in. And as for you, the juniors, in a few more days, your job will be to continue the unfinished tasks we will leave behind as we sail in our respective ships to discover new oceans. In behalf of the seniors, we are thankful because you are our companions and these years will serve as memories that we will cherish forever. After we move on, after we step on another phase of our lives, you must learn and remember the things that have helped us to finish this stage. You must learn how to be responsible. Responsibility is one key in order for you to succeed. Some things that we did might not have worked out well but we trust that after we leave the portals of this institution, you may learn from our mistakes. Expect the worst but always strive for the best. Whenever you fail, don't lose hope, just stand up. Consider such challenges as a blessing. We must learn from these challenges, particularly the failures so that we will achieve more success. You must also learn how to be humble. Humility is one sign of being educated, of being wise. This will be the start of your time to grow up and make your own; we believe that you can do more than what
P

we have done. But in doing so, always remember this: "The taller the bamboo grows, the lower it bends." And lastly, you must learn to be contented sometimes but grow most of the time. It is always right to be contented but this will sometimes hinder you from growing, from progressing. You only live once, so live your life to the fullest. It is not yet over so never make this as an excuse for you to be contented; there are many more fishes in the sea, waiting for you to discover them. Just be grateful for all your achievements and be thankful to the One who is the first and the last thing we must think of, God, because His love for us and His will to guide us is everlasting. We hope to see all your spectacular dreams come true. Just remember that: "All endings are also beginnings; we just don't know it at the time.we are born to have a chance to be here, to be in this school, the St. Jude Academy. Lastly, we nominate, recommend and appoint our beloved principal, Sr. Evangeline B. Algaba OSA, the Administrators, the faculty members, the Non-Teaching Personnel and all senior class advisers to be the executor of this last will and testament. In witness, whereof, on this momentous and memorable Junior-Senior Promenade, I now affix my signature for batch 2007-2008 on this testament, this 1st day of March, in the Year of Our Lord, two thousand and eight at St. Jude Academy, Malinta Valenzuela City.
