Chapter 23

'What would you feel if someone took almost everything away from you?' I asked them.

Nung una medyo nagulat sila pero nung nakita nilang seryoso akong nagtatanong, sumagot sila.

Iba-iba yung sagot nila, 'You have different answers, right?' Tanong ko ulit sakanila.

Pero ngayon iisa nalang ang sagot sila kung hindi, "yes."

'My mind also has different answers when I first applied on this university. My mind says that you should take this course but part of my mind also says that I should take other courses. But then, my heart suddenly spoke and it said, "choose the course that you love and you will love the most", and then suddenly my mind and my heart agreed to one, 'College of Tourism, Hotel, and Travel Industry Management'. Nagpalakpakan yung mga ka-batch kong kaparehas ko din ng college at course.

'To our President, deans from the different colleges, staffs, our loving parents, batchmates, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning!' Bumati din sila sakin.

'Choosing the path of your future is the hardest thing that i've encountered in my life, so far. Because choosing which course you should belong means that, you'll be having that career for the rest of your life. So I am thankful and proud that I have chosen the right path. I would like to thank the people who have helped me and have guided me through my college years.' Tinignan ko ulit isa-isa yung mga taong mahal ko at ang pamilya ko.

'Looking back to the 4 years that I have spent in this university, I could say that I almost experienced it all. In this university, I had a favorite professor, the professor that I hate the most, I have encountered different challenges, I got into a fight, I have experienced many things, dicovered many things, been in love, got hurt and have been inlove again, got stress because of all the works, BUT I never recieved a failing grade because I have worked hard and this university taught me how to be responsible, brave, and how to stand on my own feet. I am proud to say that this university have shaped me into the best person I can be.'

'Being a magna-cumlaude is a challenge but I keep on reminding myself that it is just a title. There may be other students that didn't have any awards at all but who knows they might be the one who is more successful than I am. Going back to Jessica's speech, she said that this is just the beggining, which is correct. Let us remember all the things that we have learned in this university. Let us brace ourselves for we are now entering the real world. Let us learn how to fight in a fair way and let us be humble at all times.'

'We may fail at first but let us remember that this university taught us not to give up but to be stronger. Let us be the person we never knew we can be but the better one. My dearest batchmates, I may have not known all of you but I know that whichever type of person you are, you are good. Why did I say that? Because we have graduted in this university. Do you still remember what the MC said during our freshmen orientation? When we graduate, let us be? BRAVER, BOLDER, and be FIERCER.' Sabay-sabay naming sinabi yun at nagpalakpakan silang lahat.

'Congratulations, fellow graduates!' Sabi ko at bumaba na ako ng stage at sinalubong ako ni Jessica at nagyakapan kami. Tawa kami ng tawa dahil sa sobrang tuwa namin.

Considered as closing remarks na yung speech ko kaya tumayo na kami at kinanta namin ang hymn ng school namin. After namin kumanta ihinagis namin lahat ng cap namin at nag-martsa na papalabas.

Pagkalabas namin may kumalabit sakin at paglingon ko, si Nam Ji. Niyakap niya ko ng sobrang higpit at niyakap ko din naman siya.

"Congratulations!" Sabi niya sakin.
