First of all, I would like to greet our compassionate principal, Mrs. Ma. Esperanza S.

Malang, the most loved members of the faculty, honored guests, proud parents,
relatives, friends and fellow graduates, a pleasant and blessed afternoon to one and all.
Excitement, regret and joy these are the bittersweet feelings that prevail every
graduation day. First is excitement, the excitement of finishing ones studies. Second is
regret, the regret in soon leaving everyone in this institution who completed our stay
here and lastly, the joy of realization that one has accomplished another chapter of
his/her life.
It is true that time really flies so fast and it seems like it was only yesterday when we
first set foot on the grounds of ACSci, the institution that molded us in becoming who we
are today, the institution that became our audience as we develop ourselves and the
institution that we all soon to call our fostering mother.
High School is one of the best parts of ones life. Looking back, we were then hesitant,
curious and bewildered children. But as time passes by we were able to pass all the
obstacles that block our way and despite these hardships, we were showered with
opportunities to develop ourselves and discover who we really are.
Its true that one of the saddest feelings we experience now is the fact that we have to
be separated to our second parents, our teachers who served as our backbone as we
stood before all the tests weve been through. And the reality that the friends that we
have opened up so much for a long time, all of a sudden, will have to go on separate
ways.
And one of the hardest things to do is to accept the truth that we will be separated from
our friends, the people who once became our crying shoulder, the people who became
our secret keeper, the people who were with us all the time and the people that became
part of our lives and filled the missing part of us.
To tell you, this is the truth. Our treasured friends, the campus we learned to love for
four years and the personalities inside the faculty room, arent you going to miss them
all? Have you ever thought that this will be the last day that youll ever sit in this place,
the last day that youll be walking on the school corridors, and the last day that youll be
called as high school students? I can recall my classmates say, I wish that high school
is five years.
At last seniors, we made it. After our four years of labor, and struggle of discovering
ourselves in the ACSHS institution, our sharing of experiences, laughter and tears, here
we are neatly arranged in rows, sitting in our own ceremony holding our diplomas, the
sole paper that proves our hard work for years.
On a personal note, I would like to share this award to the members of the academic
team namely Walleastein Sigui, Lady Chryz Ayson, Alyssa Micah Paras, Ellis Louise

Lansangan and last but not the least to our beloved coach, Maam Mylene Balagtas for
they are one of my inspirations and for without them I wouldnt be in my place now.
To our proud parents, finally, the time has come to witness the fruits of your hard work,
you saw us wore our togas and received our diplomas. We offer to you our heartfelt
thanks and gratitude for your undaunted sacrifices and unwavering patience, for
inculcating in us our determined spirits. Your great sacrifices will never be forgotten and
forever will be appreciated. For you have always been there to guide and to support us
and we know that a simple thank you is not enough to repay you for all the things that
you have done for us. We offer this magnificent moment to you, as a sign of our utmost
gratitude and appreciation. And we hope that we have made you happy this day.
To my parents thank you for your unending support, for your unconditional love and
understanding. I cant count all the reasons why I love you so much. No one will ever
replace you in my heart and in my life. I thank Jehovah God for the gift of your love to
me.
Truly, we are indebted to our teachers who were always there for us in every challenge
we faced. To you, our dearest teachers, we give our huge thank you to you for all the
efforts, love and support you gave in our four years of stay here. Thank you for treating
us like your own children and for patiently teaching us to become responsible as we
grow up. Thank you for you became more than just our teachers; you became our very
own mothers and fathers while in school. You showed us the right values and that life is
a journey filled with victories and failures. To you our dear maams and sirs, remember
that whatever success we may partake of in the long run, you will always be a part of
that.
To my classmates and especially to my friends, thank you for all the memorable
experiences we have shared. Thank you for staying with me all the time especially in
times of adversity. You are one of my inspirations and strengths. Thank you for giving
me your trust and support and for making my high school memorable and enjoyable. I
will never be where I am today if also not because of you and its true that we will go on
separate ways but your presence in my life will always remain in my heart and I will
treasure you forever.
To our beloved Alma matter, we will keep burning in our hearts the ideals and values
which we learned during our four year stay here. May we live up to its mission and
vision. And whatever we may become in the years to come, we will always look back to
you and we will forever be ACSci students.
And to my fellow graduates, let us not forget all the lessons we learned and be thankful
to the persons behind our triumph and we must not forget the main reason why we are
all here, God, who gave us knowledge and guidance which we used to finish our
studies. He is with us all the time, giving us strength and courage to face every
challenge that blocks our way. He deserves the honor and hundred percent of our
thankfulness. And as we continue our journey, we must stay strong and firm. We must

always remember that we are the hope of our nation. I wish the best to each and every
one of us, in our endeavors and I pray that all of us will become successful in our choice
of career.
True, I might be leaving with flying colors, but I am also leaving behind things that have
made me complete and the people that are worth more than all the awards and
certificates there is.
Well, fellow students, this is graduation, the event when we have to bravely enter a new
world, and not to leave, but to bring the old world of high school with us. So to all of us
here, congratulations Congratulations not only because we have worked so hard to
achieve something but Congratulations because we have people behind our success
pushing and inspiring us towards achievement.
Thank you and once again, congratulations to all the graduates and may you have a
lovely evening.
