A.R.A.M.

Ang lahat ay kaagad natahimik noong marinig ang mga yapak ng sapatos ng bagong headmaster sa entablado. Sa kanya lamang paglalakad ay nararamdaman nang lahat ang kanyang dominanteng presensya na ani mo'y nakalubog ang katawan ng lahat sa tubig na hanggang leeg ang lalim. Siya'y dumiretso noon sa podium at hinarap ang lahat upang magbigay nang kanyang mensahe.

"Ladies, gentlemen, students and faculty," panimula ng headmaster sa seryosong tono ",we are all gathered here today to felicate with our new breed of Leograndes which are the new intakes. And formally iniate them into the pride. It is my greatest pleasure to stand on this podium and welcome 1,000 of you to, the Academy of Raiden Arts and Mastery. We put the student at the centre of everything it does. Your arrival here marks the new chapter in the story of your life. But this chapter is a bit "different." The preceding chapter were largely written by others---like your parents, guardians, families, teachers and the likes. But now? You will be the principal author of the next chapter---you have the opportunity to determine the direction, the plot and the tempo of your story."
