CORNELIA MAGNO (Class
Salutatorian)
|
To our honorable guest of
speaker Vice minister of Education 1, her Excellency Dulce De Jesus Soares, to
our Founder and Executive Director Martin B. Papay, our Director for Administration,
Rosemarie P. Medrano, our Director for Academic Programs, Charles Michael B.
Papay, our dear teachers, our beloved teachers, fellow graduates and
schoolmates, other guests, welcome to the 7th Commencement of class
2015.
Today,
I believe, is the first time that for most of us, experience the quintessence
of graduation, perhaps, it is more than likely the wettest, and it is more than
likely to be our last in elementary level. Despite its finality, today is not
the last day that we will spend celebrating each other’s lives together. The
bonds we developed during our elementary years, for those whom we just met, are
some of the deepest many of us have ever known, and it is without doubt in my
mind that we will continue to see each other in the next chapter of our
journey.
Finally,
on behalf of all the graduates, I send out our heartfelt thanks and welcome to
those of you who traveled from near and far to join us here today. Not only do
we appreciate your presence at this ceremony, but also you’re endless guidance
and support over the past six, and more often, years. We could have not been at
this par; we could not have experienced marching on this aisle, wear blue and
white gowns, enjoying the cups in our heads as the wind plays with its tussles,
these are all impossible if not without your greatest sacrifices. You are
noteworthy of that-you brought us to one of the apex of our achievements.
Fellow graduates, let us take a moment to applaud those who have helped us to
reach this monumental point in our lives.
Once
again, bemvindo mai ami nia graduasaun 2015.
