Warmest congratulations to the elite corps of successful graduates this year 2012. I have the honor to speak before you as your guest speaker to give an inspirational message that will challenge everyone today!

You truly deserve to give pride to yourself as you step into another ladder of your success. It’s been unforgettable event that we should reminisce every now and then the significant marked of our lives as we give priority to our achievement in the field of learning. We bind us one today to celebrate the fruit of our sacrifices; your unsung hero shows their unfading support behind your success as they watch you to graduate this day, your ever loving teachers honored you for the commendable appreciation of your great work during learning process and the person who is one way of molding your life interest and being proud to yourself that you have done the great job in schooling.

“Learning is very fun and lifelong process” which I always emphasize in the field of learning because it awakens our interest to learned. At your youthful stage, there is an eagerness to learn in every chance as you participate inside the class. Your teacher taught you so much how to become smart, how to behave, how to learn, how to work effectively, how to perform a task and know how to accept student’s responsibility. I know each one of you possess a precocious gift from God. Who among you here wants to be a Doctor, Nurse, Lawyer, Engineer, Military, Teacher, or a President? Then don’t stop learning.

Our Theme: “Your Gift of Learning, Our Tool for Nation Building” it pertains to your Mentor who mold you in learning and you as a Learner. Your teacher is an agent of change and you as a graduate are a partner of change. You serve as a catalyst in providing welfare and you carry upon your shoulder the responsibility of Nation Building. As an educator, we are responsible enough to touch the lives of our learners. We played a vital role in the four corner of classroom; God chooses us to inspired and mold our students in a righteous path of change. The elements of teaching and learning are the teacher, the learner and the learning environment. The learner and teacher are the key players that interact in learning environment. I made the acronym which stands for the role of dedicated TEACHER.

This is a challenge to our educators who are here today that the future of these graduates depends on what we inculcate with them and how they respond to the knowledge that you shared to them. You teach to transform the life of these graduates; your full potential is very relevant to do your duties every day. You need to be flexible enough to guard learners to perform a meaningful task given on them. Commitment is important to face all the challenges that come in our way. A loving teacher fully accepts and recognizes that every learner has strength and worth as a person. He / she willing to copes the strength and weaknesses of a student to achieve their full potential. Being an effective teacher, we need to be creative and mindful mentor to grab the opportunity and every moment that they are worthy person. And then, let us relate our life to them so that they will feel the love and care of having a teacher.

To the graduates, the knowledge that imparted in you is priceless. Your teacher suffered everything in order you to provide a varied rich learning, we should be thankful for that because of them, you are now receiving the price and that price is also a reward for your teacher where you become successful graduates. You possess a great responsibility where you can able to share it to others, to your community; in our societal change even in our progressive country and you are the foundations of nation building. I will share and read to you a letter of a loving teacher so that you will more inspire to do the same thing or even you will going to treasure the days with your teacher and this is also a tribute to a dedicated teacher in his work.

LETTER OF DEDICATED TEACHER TO HIS LEARNERS

Every time I woke up, I started the day with full of bright.

A pleasant morning will always make me so smart;

I faced the mirror and looked myself

With all the smile in my heart.

I thank God for given me another day to seize the opportunity.

Teaching my students, they only reasons why I liked to stay.

I made some promises to treasure the days with my learners;

I pounced things that seem to be reminiscing and sentiments.

They showed respect and obedient in a class,

They exert effort of doing the best that they can;

Even the lessons too easy of difficult to understand,

But thanks to them that they made me glad.

For all the times that we’ve been together,

I learned on how to love being a teacher.

There’s a time that I fell to give up;

But there’s a moment that they lift me up.

I motivated them on how to accept student’s responsibility.

Trained and prepared them as a good individual someday;

But they also taught me on how to value my career,

Love and care my profession to become effective teacher every day.

To all the graduates you should bear in your mind that you played a vital role in building our Nation, the gift of learning that inherent of your teacher, you should used that one as a tool for Nation Building as you walk with the battle of life. You are the hope of tomorrow as what Dr. Jose Rizal said. Let us work hand in hand for the betterment of our life….

CONGRATULATIONS! AND MORE POWER! GOD SPEED.
