To the forever steadfast director and school principal, Mr. Bartolome L. Avila, to the highly competent and deeply motivated teachers and staff other officials who ar present on this occasionto the proud and loving p arents to the very important people- the stars, in todays ceremonies, the awardees, ladies and gentlemen, a pleasant morning. Like most of you today, my feelings are really overwhelming. I know, you guys are as raise about this event as I am so excited to speak before you today.Not so long ago, I was seating exactly where you are right now and hearing an inspirational chatter from a guest speaker back then. Yes, I am but a proud ammonia alum of Pililla Academy and soon you too will be part of the Alumni. Today, Pililla Academy will name those great(p) students who brought honors to themselves, and to this school. As we, you gather here and start viewing those simple and ordinary faces, you will realize that these achievers are exactly as everyone else.The only amo ur different is that, they have made their choices. That is to STAND and be acknowledge in the area where they choose to be the best one. It is a matter of CHOICE. It is between doing the right thing or not, or be recognized in good things or in all goosy activities. Sa ngayon, sa hirap ng buhay na dinaranas natin, tanging ang mga parangal na inyong matatanggap ang siyang magsisilbing tanglaw, gabay at pag-asa tungo sa magandang kinabukasan.Bawat medalya at sertipiko na inyong makakamit ay higit na mahalaga kaysa anumang kayamanan, sapagkat ito ang sumisimbolo sa natatanging kahusayan at galing na inyong pinamamalas. Your beat is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other peoples thinking. Dont permit the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your sprightliness and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Ev erything else is secondary.
