Li your head a little higher. Spread the love like fire. Hope will fall
like rain when you speak life with the words you say. - Toby Mac
(Speak Life)
Sitting with me were the great people of our school. Imagine being a fresh
graduate to be with the vice presidents and deans. I was shaking that time!
Good thing though, the one who introduced me was my college dean who
used to be so close to me.
He sold me to the students by telling why I did not become a cum laude. He
said, “When I asked him why he wasn’t able to have a Latin honor, he said,
“Ni ana man gud akong mama Sir, ‘Nak eskwela ug tarong para ma
engineer ka!’ (My mom said to be studious in order for me to become an
engineer). So, that’s why he just aimed to top the exam.” Hahaha!
Though I am just a young man who just graduated last year still you've
given me this chance. It’s humbling to know that though there are
other great men who will be able to inspire the students more, still
you did not hesitate to give me this opportunity. This for me is a
privilege and I am grateful.
At last, the day has finally come, especially for the graduating
students with honors, to reap what they have sown. This is the day
that you’re going to receive the fruits of your labor. The day that
you’re going to remember the hardships, trials, sleepless nights, out-
of-this-world examinations, those seemed to be unending
assignments, plates, and projects, and many more.
I can still remember, and it’s still very fresh, those things that
happened in my college days. It’s nostalgic. It seems that everything
that I’m seeing today brings back old memories. (Matud pa sa
engineering, looks-fam)
Our theme only means that we need to harness the “US”, I mean us.
You and me, and making use of our natural selves to enhance CTU's
Polytechnological Capabilities for this century. We must first be able
to know the capabilities that are already within us for this is a gi

But I never let this problem overcome us, and I would never let this
stop me from fulfilling my dreams. I kept on going. I studied in the
morning and worked in the evening. This went on Monday to Friday.

first year working in the guidance o ice.
I can relate to your hardships, pains, trials, hunger and many more.
These are not new to us who strive for greater things. There are even
failures, but what keeps us going during these times when we are so
down is the thought that "All things work together for good,
especially for those who love God".
Students, for the graduates God, bless in the next phase of life, for the
non-graduates strive more for His glory. To All, May the LORD God
bless you and keep you always. Congratulations!
It was a long speech, wasn't it? Actually, I thought the length of the speech
would make the students feel boring. But I was wrong. They rose up instead
to my surprise and gave me hands of appreciation.
Hey! Have you heard the song Speak Life by Toby Mac? You've got to check it
out. That's a song that encourages us to speak with full of hope, full of life
and see how it brightens the lives of people who are in their dark hours.
Speak Life! :D
