Noel's POV
Today is April 7, 2013. Ngayon mismo sa araw na ito ay gaganapin ang graduation ng grade 12 students. At pagkatapos ng graduation yayayain ko si Nichole na lumabas at dun na ako aamin sa kanya ng totoo kung nararamdaman.
Nandito ako ngayon sa school at nandito na rin ang mga graduating students with their parents, natanaw ko naman si Nichole na kasama sila Martin, Mariel at ang parents ng kaibigan niya.
Lumapit naman ako sa kanila. "Hi good afternoon" Sabay ngiti ko sa kanila.
"Good afternoon din sir" Sabi ng ina ni Mariel. Bumati rin sakin ang papa nito. Ang ang tatlo.
"Nic, sino pala nag magsu-suot sa'yo ng medal mamaya?" Tanong ko.
"Ah... w-wala po eh" Sabi nito.
"Anong wala? Nandito ako iha" Sabi naman ng nanay ni Mariel.
"Oo nga naman bes"
"Hehe nakakahiya naman po tita, okay lang po ba?" Sabi ni Nichole.
"Oo naman, ikaw pa ba" Sabi naman ng tatay nito. Napangiti na lamang ako.
Ilang minuto ang nakalipas nagsimula na nga ang program.

"Good afternoon and welcome to Senior High School 1st Graduation Ceremony with the theme: Unity and Quality in Education for all; Pagkakaisa at Kalidad na Edukasyon para sa lahat" Mr. Abreco said. Ang naturang emcee ng program.
"Ladies and gentlemen, The Processional" Ms. Taliona said. Nagsimula naman silang maglakad.
"Let us give a glad hand to the pillars of this institution, the faculty of Philippine National High School together with the honored guests" Pagbasa ni Ms. Taliona sa kanyang graduation script.
"Roll out the red carpet for the graduating class of batch 2013 escorted by their parents" Wika ni Mr. Abreco. Patuloy parin na naglalakad ang mga graduating students together with their parents. Ilang minuto ang nakalipas nasa kanya-kanya na rin silang upuan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, The Entrance of Colors" Sabay na sabi ng dalawang emcee. Nag marcha naman ang mga naka uniform ng pang military suit habang hawak nila ang flag. (A/N: Tama ba? Nakalimutan ko na kasi eh✌)
"Let us show our deference by standing still as we sing the National Anthem" Sabi ni Ms. Taliona. Humawak naman sila sa kanilang dibdib sa may bandang puso at inawit na nga ang lupang hinirang. Pagkatapos nito nagsalita naman si Mr. Abreco.
"To bless this momentous occasion, let us seek Divine Intervention. May we call on Maria Villard to lead us all in prayer" Nagtungo naman si Maria Villard sa stage at nagsimula na itong magsalita.
"Loving Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of life and the wonderful privilege of knowing You. Lord, at this time of graduation we bring before You all these young lives that will soon be graduating. Lead and guide all those that are called by Your name and have accepted the Lord Jesus as their Saviour. Father, we pray that each one remains firm in the truth that they have been taught throughout their youth and may each one grow into Christian maturity and come to know the Lord Jesus more and more with each passing day. Thank You for each life and each family that is represented by these Christian men and women who are soon to graduate, and may their lives be a wonderful witness to all those with whom they come in contact. Keep them safe from harm in the arms of Jesus, we pray, Amen." Pagkatapos nito mag lead ng pray, bumaba naman na ito ng stage.
"Please be seated" Umupo naman ang lahat at naghihintay sa susunod na mangyayari sa program.
"To set the tone for this afternoon’s event let us welcome Rhea Mae Toran (with high honors), for her welcome remarks. A big hand please" Nagtungo na sa stage ang naturang estudyante at nagsalita na nga ito para sa kanyang welcome remarks.
