Congratulations, dear graduates! Every graduation means another milestone added to one’s life. Now that you’ve finished the secondary education curriculum you are ready for higher education either college or in some vocational institution. As move forward in pursuit of your dreams let the realities of life be your guide. Select a course that will assure a decent job, for you to fit your talent and skills make you independently self-supporting, productive and able to fend yourself, rather than just finishing finish courses with impressive titles but unemployable. It is said that each of us is a gift from God and what we make of ourselves is our gift to God. Therefore, endeavor to make yourselves a beautiful PRESENT to the Almighty. May you be able to stand tall and say, I’m proud to be a Filipino, I’m honorable and in my own right- “A HERO”. God Bless us all.
