Hello folks... How are you?? i miss you

event.
As one of the Alumnus of our Lady of the Most
Holy Rosary Academy, I was chosen to be this school year 2010-2011 Graduation
Guess Speaker.
I cant deny the truth that i am very overwhelm,
and excited because being one is actually my dream.. and i am very happy to
fulfill that dream....
The graduation was held last March 31, 2011, at
the OLMHRA Hall (which we called "cowcowan" ).
As a first
time speaker in a graduation event (because its just a year after my own
graduation from college) i cant really express the feelings.. I just did what i think is
i need and suppost to do during the process...
For all the
people who are present on that graduation,,, I hope you were able to undersatand
my messege specially to all the graduates....
and for you
to understand it clearly.. here is my speech..that i am reading onstage.... Read
for yourself..
Please be
reminded that Engr. is not my TITLE, It is my
PROFESSION.
and here it goes,....
Good Afternnon!
THE
GRADUATE:" A PARTNER TOWARDS TRANSFORMATION SOCIETY, AN ANSWER TO SOCIETAL
CHANGE."
Before anything else i just want to ask the
graduates this question;
Are you part of the problem or the
answer?
This is just a short speech don’t worry. It will
only take 5 minutes of your time, so I need you’re attention for 5 minutes. So
lets start..
Before anything else I would like to thank all
of you guys for inviting me here. I feel very proud to be you’re guess speaker
here today. I think I was able to fulfill one of my dreams so thank you so much.
Next thing that I want to acknowledge is of
coarse the graduates. They are the reason why we are gather here today and I wan
to give them all the praises and admiration for making all the way up this point
of their life as a high school student of this institution.
Let us give them a big round of applause.
My speech is not particular to those who will
graduate with awards, not even only for those who have a strong foundation of
academic influence but rather for all of you here today wearing a toga, who are
about to embark the new challenges in search for your own destiny.
Graduates this day is for you. I want all of you
to feel like you are very special today. To feel like it’s all yours. I want you
to feel like today you are in equal to everyone here. I want you to feel very
proud that you did it in spite of every struggle that you’ve encountered in the
past. I want to congratulate you for making
you’re 4 years of high school a very fun, exciting and memorable one.
BOB Ong has this to say:
“Dalawang
dekada ka lang magaral, kung di mo pagtitiyagaan, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang
kapalit, sobrang lugi. Kung alam lang yan ng mga kabataan sa aking pananaw ay
walng gugugstuhing umiwas sa skwela.”
Alam nyo sa limang taon
ko sa kolehiyo sa palagay ko sapat na iyon para marealize ko na ang daming taong
magagaling sa pilipinas pero hindi lahat ng mga taong yun e nabibigyan ng
pagkakataon, kaya napaka swerte natin na nabibigyan tayo ng chance. That’s why I
encourage you guys to be more responsible in everything you do, and waste not
the chance that our parents are giving us. Take advantage of it. Maaring hindi
nyo ako maiintindiha kung sa palagay nyo ay pamimitas lang at pagtatabas ang
kaya nyong gawin pero dun sa mga batang may pangrap, at nabibigyan ng
pagkakataon, guys, don’t ever waste it.. Live like every seconds count.
Alam nyo:
“nalaman ko na habang lumalaki ka maraming beses kang
madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulet o hindi magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo
at mauubos ang oras.”
Sa daan patungo sa
inyong tagumpay marami kayong makakahalubilong taong hindi kuntento ng nakadapa
ka lang, mas gusto nila na tinatapakan ka, kaya
dapat nyong malaman na
hindi sapat ang pagsubok para sumoko, dahil sabi nga ni bob ong ke bumangon ka
man o hindi iikot ang mundo, at hindi mo na maibabalik ang bawat segundong
inubos mo sa pagkakadapa mo.
Kaya kung wala kang
balak magpatalo sa mga pagsubok sa buhay mo. Bumangon ka, at ipakitta mo sa knila na hindi ikaw ang taong basta basta
magpapatalo ng ganun ganun lang..ipakita nyo sa kanila na matigas ang isang olmhranians, at hindi tayo nagpapatalo ng
hindi lumalaban.
I can recall in one of
the speech that our very own bishop has stated, and goes like
this:
In a parable of one’s talent: the one who received five and
earned another five is as great as the one who received three and earned another
three if both were able to earned the highest possible profit based on their
respective ability to invest the amount given to them.
You know what I really
love that statement, I used to apply that to myself during my college
life.
I can no longer count
how many times I fall, how many times I encountered trials, felt the pain, so
what I did is,, even though I know that it hurts, I still found the courage to
continue to sail on, to continue to hope for the better, coz I know that God is
just there to back me up. Siguro kung nagpatalo ako dati sa mga pagsubok wala
ako dito sa harap nyo ngayon, kaya graduates, as what is stated here in our
stage..
You are the
“PARTNERS
TOWARDS TRANSFORMATION OF THE SOCIETY, THE ANSWERS TO SOCIETAL
CHANGE”
Now if youre gonna return the
question i have asked you a while ago,
i will neither be part of the two
because i want to be part of the Solution, because it doesnt matter how long you
finished, it matters HOW you finished.
DAHIL KUNG KINAYA KO,
SIGURADO AKO NA MAS KAYA NYO, IMPOSIBLENG HINDE.
Thank you so much for
listening. Good Luck to all of you, and once again accept my warmth Greetings of
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Thank you..
Always,
