Recognition day & summer vacation: Mission accomplished!

Yesterday, in the afternoon, we honor students from first to third year were the stars during my school’s recognition day. It was my first time to experience such occasion in the afternoon, although somewhat uncommon in some schools. For the entrance, we had our animation based on the Bible scripture found on 1 Corinthians 13: 4 – 10. For the opening remarks, after the opening prayer and the singing of the Anthem, our school president gave us a wise and inspiring message about how to use our talents for the service of others, meaning we have to share our knowledge to others if necessary.

The guest speaker was an alumnus of our school, who was currently in De La Salle University and was now in service together with the La Salle brothers. His speech was indeed amazing, telling us how he became satisfied with helping others, although he was really intelligent.

Just before the awarding ceremony, there was first recognition of those who won in various competitions outside the school, including those in the varsity as well as the pep squad. And then, there went the outstanding club members, the best in deportment, and finally, those who received the subject proficiency awards.

And so, after all these, the moment we’ve all been waiting for had finally arrived, and that was to receive medals as fruits of our labor. As I marched in front of the stage and receive my medal for being an honor student, I knew all my hard work had finally paid off, and that I survived the whole school year with flying colors. As gratitude for the sacrifice made by our parents to pursue our education, we made a special tribute to them, which included both singing and dancing.

Now that school was finally over, that would mean one thing: SUMMER VACATION!!! Wohooo!!!! I can’t wait to see my parents again in Negros Occidental!


More to talk next time folks!! ^^
