GRADUATION EXERCISES SPEECH STANLEY JAEGGER M.

ZABALA GUEST SPEAKER MARCH 22, 2013

When I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought, " When I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars. I want to have groupies." But my idea of success is different today. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you're not - to live your life as an honest and compassionate person; to contribute in some way.

DepEd Officials, municipal officials, guests, faculty and staff, graduates, proud parents.

A new phase of life starts today as we embrace ourselves in the challenges of the future. Another milestone has just finished yet another one comes. Our dear achievers and graduates, your achievements are just parcel of what you will have in the future. Let not be blinded with these simple things that you have attained. Let not be contented of being just the good but be the best.

Our dear graduates, as you end your 6 years of journeying in this school, think of the sacrifices of your parents who painstakingly dedicated themselves just for you to be cloth with good education.

Iti adal nga inkayo nasursuro iti daytoy nga pagadalan ket maysa nga banag nga di pulos maiyadayo wenno matakaw iti unos iti panagbiagyo. Usarenyo ngarud daytoy nga kas salaknib

yo iti ad adu pay karit iti biag. Haan kadi ng iti kinakurapay iti rason tapno haan kayo makaturpos iti panagbasayo no di ket aramatenyo daytoy nga inspirasyon yo tapno agballaigi kayo.

May I request you dear graduates to stand up, and look into the faces of your parents now. What can you see in their faces? Can you not see in them the feeling of pride that their sons and daughters are now graduates of elementary education? Can you not see in them the tears falling from their eyes that their dreams and aspirations for you are now becoming a reality?

Now look into your teachers, how many of you have thanked them already? How many of you have asked for an apology? They deserved to be recognized today as you are for you are their products in terms of educational aspect, social aspect, emotional aspect, spiritual and the like. In their faces are full of confidence that you will march towards victory and the attainment of your dreams. They are happy not because they will be no longer seeing your naughtiness but they are happy because they are setting you to another nest of excellence.

Dagiti apo nga nagannak, saludo ak iti inkayo pinagabasa kadagiti anak tayo. A kas kuna tayo, iti adal ket maysa nga kinabaknang nga intayo maipatawid kadagiti annak tayo. Bayat iti inda panagturpos ita nga aldaw, adu siguro kadakayo idi agduwa duwa no mapan dagiti annak tayo iti maikadwa nga tukad iti panagbasa da. Kariten kayo ngarod, nga ikarigatan tayo nga pagbasaen dagiti annak tayo uray ania man iti mapaspasamak. Haan tayo kadi nga paayen dagiti ubbing nga gun-oden iti arapaap da. Haan tayo kadi paayen met dagiti ar-arapaap tayo kanyada.

Ipamuspusan tayo kad ngarod iti inda panagbasa. Dagiti karit iti biag haan kadi nga isuda iti manglapped iti pangballaigi dagiti annak tayo.

To our dear teachers, thank you for clothing these individuals with the light of learning. Thank you for patiently moulding these individuals. Thank you for scolding them when you must and can for them to realize their mistakes.

Agyamank kanyayo apo nga mangisursuro ditoy nga pagadalan. Ta dakayo iti maysa nga nangtubay kadagitoy nga ubbing. No man naloko da idi, adda kayo nga nangbagbaga kanyada. Uray ado iti rigat yo nga nangisuro kanyada ket makita yo met ita iti nagbanagan dagitoy adu nga unget ken an anus. Ta no di da kam koma inan-anusan, baka awan nak met ngarud ditoy nga umay met mangipadamag iti nagapwanan yo iti panagbiagyo. No ana man iti makita yo kanyak ita ket agas dagiti ling-et, paparaw ken sakit nga inkayo nagpaspasaran iti innak panagbasa ditoy. Ket agyamanak la unay iti daytoy nga gundaway nga inted you kanyak.

To you our dear achievers, and non-achievers, take chances. It does not matter if you fail. Remember what Thomas Edison said when he invented the electric bulb, I failed one thousand times, for me to succeed.

I challenge you then graduates. Explore new oceans, explore new territories, explore new worlds. Bring with you all the values and learnings that you acquired. Dont be afraid to fail and try. Spread your wings and soar high. Whenever your feet leads you, remember the Almighty Father who will guide you. But once you fail, stood up and never never ever give up.
