To our classmates that we have during our ‘Bayanihan Times’ on Exams and quizzes, to our lazy moments during Homeroom assignments, to our ‘Travellers Mode’ during unexpected getaways, to our financer during recess time, to our lawyer during lying times, to our brother and sister like during advising times, to our number 1 mutual friend on facebook and to our number 1 follower on instagram and twitter. To our classmates, our colleagues, our friends, who have grown with us, you have colored this journey with laughter, pains, joys and conflicts.

Despite of our being stubborn we hope that in some way we have made you proud. We are really sorry for all of our faults and promises that we have broken. You gave your full support and trust even though we are hard headed most of the times. You have continuously strengthened and inspired us, without which we would have never come to reach this moment. To our beloved parents and families, the true and strong foundations of who and what we are now, you deserve to share every honor we receive today. Your firm guidance will always be appreciated, for we now realize that like greatness, nothing grows well under the shade of a large tree. You taught us like your real children and never let us to be in the improper way of learning. Today we show you our sincerest gratitude for molding our characters and for showing us that there is still much to learn. You opened our eyes to what we could be and what we could do, in a way that we’ve never thought possible. We understand we were far from perfect students, and that more than once, we have brought you much pain, frustrations, and angriness that often brought you into ‘Beast Mode’ and were really sorry for all of that. To our dearest Teachers, you have done more than words can express. Our Almighty, Our Teachers, parents and colleagues have constantly been our guide. Life is an open road, and though we’ve studied its highways and byways, we were never left without a roadmap.

To others, this Moving Up Ceremonies of us may simply be equated as the end of the tunnel, or a breath of relief, but after years under the nurture of our alma mater, we know that is just the beginning of our long journey towards success. Facebook would probably say “ You have memories with your friends 4 years ago, want to share it?” Right? For most of us, we entered LCTMNHS with nothing more than a dream, and today, April 1, 2016, together we stand as survivors armed with knowledge, skills and values to bring this dream closer to reality. It was not so long ago when our journey began, these faces of us now was really far different from our faces when we enter this school, 4 years ago.
