This was supposed to be my acceptance speech if only I didn't fell 1 step towards getting the Top 1 Award during the Search for the Most Outstanding IE Student of the Year 2009...whew! It was truly a wonderful experience. CIT IE family rocks! Kumbati ta!
Anyweiz, I just want to share this one to my friends specially to the ones mentioned here. hehe...
“Aspire rather to be a hero than merely appear like one." Baltasar Gracian says. Tonight as we celebrate the making of tomorrow’s heroes, this recognition I humbly accept. And I would gladly share this honor with the people, who in several ways became a part of this sweet victory. They are real heroes in their own ways.
Firstly, my fellow IE students, classmates and friends, thank you so much! You’re undoubtedly a major factor of what I’ve become today. You touched my life as you let me touch yours. We share common smiles, grief and amazepment in our wonderful experiences in the IE life. We celebrate our diversity by making it as an opportunity to widen our horizons and become better individuals. Uhmm, special mention to my friends, (ATura, Maeloz, MAbastas, MBrusas, VGo, JDihayco, GTamarra, and JDumoran) I want you to know that I consider you my dearest friends. Though sometimes, misunderstanding plagues our friendship but our value for each other always prevails. I hope this shall live through our lives onwards. It has been said, “Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are”. Now, you can tell me who my friends are….
To our teachers and mentors in the IE Dept., Engr. GG Arias, Engr. N.H Corbeta, Engr. Arivero and our dept Head, Engr. AB Navares. You should believe it when I say, you are truly our heroes!! When I entered college, I was not that certain of what must I become today until I realized in the 2nd semester of my 1st year that I belong in the IE family. That was a realization that has become a reality of me unbtil now as I am standing here in front of you. The point in time when I made the decision to spend my college life with the CIT IE family was a major turning point in my life; it could have make or break me. But there goes these gallant servants for education, who made the decision worth the while and assured me that the path I am into is a path that I can be at my best. Despite the number of the faculty member of the IE Dept., I can firmly attest that QUALITY is not directly related with quantity. For those who have no direct knowledge about these heroes, I can’t tell you enough about them. It’s best if you choose what I’ve chosen 5 years ago and experience the incomparable IE LIFE.
Now, let me take this opportunity to proudly introduce to you one real superhero for me, my NANAY. Her name is Anecita. She’s one of the persons I truly look up to. Just like other mothers perhaps, my NANAY has perfectly demonstrated to me and my family what true and unconditional love is. So that the world may know, my NANAY is truly human but she just has the qualities of a super human. (hehe) “Nay, you’ve been through a lot in this life for us, thank you is not enough, my life is not enough to repay you; but I commit that whatever I shall I do with this life today and tomorrow, must give you honor so that the world may see through me how great a mother you are. Nay, I love you and this victory is your victory too.”
Lastly, my Lord Jesus Christ; I owe everything to You. I offer all these to Him. He’s always been my ultimate provider of formidable strength with everything I’ve been through in life. This, I believe, is true to each one of us. I thank Him for my friends, my teachers and mentors, my family and for everything that he allowed to happen in my life, they molded me as what He desires me to be.
And to all thank you very much! Let’s all aspire to be heroes in our own lives and see how the world changes through a change in ourselves.
God blessed me! God bless you all and God bless the CIT IE family more! Have a great life starting tonight.
