I just wanted to share this, it’s not a very special moment in my life, instead, it’s a big challenge to me as a person. I’m a person that not that good at talking in public or in front of many people. I hate arguments, not because I don’t know how to explain myself but because I had this fear that there’s a lot of people hearing the argument. So instead of talking back, I just shut my mouth. But in the year 2016, my teacher in elementary asked me to be the guest speaker in their graduation since I graduated from that school and I'm one who graduated there with flying colors. A year before she already asked me but I decline, maybe they don’t have other choices aside from me, kidding aside I cannot decline again to her that’s why I accepted it, living with no choice. I wanted to share the speech I prepared for the graduation ceremony to inspire not only those students who heard it but other Filipino who will be going to read this. It’s written in Tagalog since they are elementary students and I can emphasize with them word by word what I wanted them to understand in my speech. Here it is.

Topic: "Saktong buhay sa dekalidad na edukasyon pinanday."
Graduates, ano ba ang saktong buhay para sa inyo? Sakto na ba para sa inyo ang lagi na lng maglaro, mag-gala,magtampisaw sa ilog, tumunganga, tumambay sa bawat kanto ng Kinabuksan, at mag antay na lng kung ano ang darating? Sakto na ba para sa inyo ang buhay na meron kayo ngayon? May mga magsasabi siguro sa inyo na- ok na! sakto na! kasi eto lang ang kaya nila nanay at tatay.- sakto na, wala namang tutulong na iba sa akin.- or pwede na kasi hanggang dito na lang ang kaya ko.Ngunit umaasa hindi lang ako gayon din ang mga taong nasa harap ninyo na marami sa inyo ang sasagot na HINDI PA!, marami pa akong nais marating, malayo pa ang kaya kong lakbayin at lalagpasan ko pa ang mga taong nasa aking harapan at pagdating ng araw na iyon SAKA KO SASABIHING SAKTONG BUHAY NA ITO PARA SA AKIN.
Sa araw na ito ng inyong pagtatapos,napagtagumpayan nyo na ang pagsubok ng mababang paaralan ng elementarya. You have gained knowledge,skills and talents which you can use as you go forward on your studies. Ilang panahon at sakripisyo na lang at makakamit nyo na ang saktong buhay na pinapangarap nyo. Many people from a poor family became successful in life because of education. Ako at marami pang iba na nagsipagpatuloy ng kanilang pag -aaral ang nagtamasa ngayon ng pagkakataon para magkaroon ng maayos na pamumuhay. At ito ay dahil sa aming pagsisikap na makapagtapos ng aming pag-aaral, dahil sa pagsuporta, paghubog at pagbabahagi ng aming mga guro ng kanilang mga kaalaman. Pinanday nila kami sa maayos at dekalidad na edukasyon.
Marami pang pagbabago ang darating sa buhay ninyo kung yayakapin at ipagpapatuloy nyo pa ang inyong pag aaral. We are in the world of competition. A competition where Knowledge is POWER. AIM for more knowledge and one day you will be more powerful in the path that you will choose in your life. After a couple of months, you'll be entering the secondary education. During these times, you will be acquiring more wisdom and you will also encounter a new challenge, be strong, always have confidence and I am sure you will finish this with flying colors.
Graduates, to last, i will leave you with this final quote, "you have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the one who'll decide where to go" I hope one of these days, many of you will shine in the path you will take.
Congratulations again and good luck to your long journey.
For me, it was a heartwarming message that I hope will inspire many students in their long journey in life.
