Happy Graduation My Fellow Graduates Batch 2010-2011

03.29.2011.  It was some few days before our graduation day, me and my classmates are still clueless who have made it to the top 5. My parents keep asking me if there will be a recognition day or it was finished already.  And finally a day before the graduation the invitations were distributed and I am listed in the honor roll! Thanks God! I am able to accomplished what is expected of me. To maintain my high grades in school and strive to be the best in the sports where I owe my scholarship. If ever I failed in school, my parents might they have to choose then because they knew I can perform much better if I spent all my time in my academics. Because more often most of time were dedicated in my training...an average of 4 hours a day! Imagine, what if I have to dedicate that time to my studies?  But anyway I am already enjoying a scholarship as early as now so let the others share the same blessings.  We also share the happiness for those parents who are able to raise hardworking kids who go to a good school to learn and study for free through Academics or Sports Scholarships!

To my classmates in Adamson University Lower Basic Education Department and to those who have been my classmates at the Republic Institute (whom I got to get in touch too because of Facebook), CONGRATULATIONS! 

 The Top 5. I am the fourth honor in our batch.
