Salutatory Speech
To our President- Principal, Brother Pedro Victor Maralit FSC, our Assistant Principal, Ms. Analie Lomocso, teachers, parents, honorable guests, most kind benefactors especially the North American Alumni Association, friends, and fellow graduates, good afternoon.
On behalf of the graduating class, I am blessed and fortunate to welcome you all in the most awaited part of our high school life: Graduation Day. After 4 years of hardships and pain, we can finally say that, “WE HAVE MADE IT!”
As I was writing this speech, the past 4 years I had in this school flashed back. The shouts of joy when we were happy or when we have overcome a certain problem, the tears we shed when we were sad or angry or frustrated; success and failures, triumphs and mistakes, these things molded us to become who we are today. It seems yesterday when we were just a bunch of confused freshmen. We wandered into the four walls of this civic center, anxious and intimidated, but time went by so fast and before we knew it, we eventually come to a halt from all our childish acts and began to spread and widen our horizons. We have changed and matured. We were told to grow up, and we did. We were told to make sure we graduate, and we’re here today. Our friends and families, our teachers and benefactors, we already understand the importance of living in this “merry-go-round battle” and finally become one with it.
We are halfway to the road of fulfillment and true success. The journey in our high school life has already come to an end, but as we trudge along another journey, the memories of the good old days will always linger in our hearts and minds.
St. Joseph School-La Salle has been our second home for 4 years which formed within us the 3 Lasallian values, Faith, Service, and Communion. Perhaps, the most important lesson we’ve learned is to continually uphold the Lasallian spirit and zeal by way of making moral choices and living with Jesus as we serve others.
March 23 is not yet the end,
