Arthea's POV

"Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat, isang mainit na kagalakan at pagpapasalamat po ang aking ipinapaabot sa ating kagalang-galang na mga panauhin, sa mga guro, sa ating butihing punong guro, sa mga magulang, at higit sa lahat ay sa mga kapwa ko mag-aaral. " Pagsisimula ni Xyjan at naging dahilan ng muling pagpalakpak ng malakas ng mga tao. Anlala ng fans club ng kapatid ko.

"Before anything else, I would like to congratulate all of you; another chapter awaits us. While reflecting on our journey, I can't help but wonder, 'Did I really endure all that? How did I manage it all?' I'm sure I'm not the only one asking such questions. We've faced numerous assignments, projects, simultaneous presentations in various subjects, and yet, we've overcome them all. So, I am incredibly proud of each one of you...To our teachers, I want you to know that we deeply appreciate your efforts. Thank you for your patience with us; we understand that teaching every day is not an easy task, and we salute you for it...To our principal, thank you very much. Everyone knows how kind you are, and you have played a significant role in our personal development. Every word you've shared with us has left an imprint on our hearts and minds...To the school staff, especially to Kuya Ricky, who contributes greatly in maintaining the cleanliness of this school, thank you...To our dependable security guard, thank you very much...To my family, to Mom and Dad, thank you for your unwavering support in my life decisions and pursuits. Even though you're not here, I hope you're proud of me. Everything I do is not just for myself but also for you. I am eternally grateful to God for blessing me with hardworking and loving parents." Matapos iyon ay nagpakawala sya ng isang mahabang buntong hininga bago muling magsalita.

"And lastly, Arthea" saad nya sabay turo saakin at pinagtinginan naman ako ng mga tayo, at ang lahat ay nagsigawan with matching palakpak pa.

"Ayieeeeee" sigaw ng mga tao, at natawa naman ako.

"She's my older sister, maraming salamat sayo , Alam mong di ako expressive when it comes to my feelings, pero this time gusto kong sabihin lahat. Salamat ng marami sayo, sa suporta mo sakin araw-araw, lagi mong pinararamdam sakin kung gaano ako kahalaga, yung tiwala mo sakin sa lahat ng desisyong ginagawa ko. Hindi naiiwasan ang tampuhan at di pagkakasunduan pero masasabi ko paring the best ka. Nandyan ka para i-cheer ako pag dumadating yung mga araw na lugmok na lugmok ako, no words can express how much I love you, hindi na ako natatakot masaktan kasi alam kong nandyan ka, na lagi kong pahingahan. Mahal na Mahal kita." Nanginginig na ako habang hawak ko ang cellphone ko. Tama si Xyjan hindi sya expressive pero lagi ko namang nararamdaman yung pagmamahal nya through his actions.

Pinagpatuloy ko ang pag vi-video habang pinupunas ang mga luhang dumadaloy sa pisingi ko.

"Bago ako magtapos ay iiwanan ko kayo ng ilang mga paalaala. Wag kayong matakot sumugal. If you do not take a risk, you cannot create a bright future for yourself. Either you claim it or regret it. Keep in mind that all of our sacrifices are part of our success. Therefore, you could not call it "success" without sacrificing something. meaning you will have to get through a lot of pain to achieve it and be at the peak of life. Remember! A diamond is made through pressure. So, for you to be successful, you always have to be diligent, kind, determined, and motivated. Don't let your status be a hindrance to your success. Be yourself, and follow the flow of life. Think of what you want to achieve; it's all or nothing...As we embark on this new journey, I want to leave you with one final thought. Remember that the only limitations we have are the ones we place on ourselves. May mga bagay na akala natin ay hindi natin kaya pero ang totoo ay hindi lang natin sinusubukan, kaya kung may gusto kayong gawin sa buhay, gawin nyo lang, wag kayong matakot magkamali, masumbatan, at mahusgahan dahil parte iyon ng proseso para tayo ay matuto, ang mahalaga ay sinusubukan natin, kahit i-doubt kayo ng maraming tao, kung naniniwala kayo ng lubos sa sarili nyo ay walang imposible...Muli, binabati ko kayo mga kapwa ko mag-aaral, congratulations sa ating lahat at maraming salamat." Pagtatapos ni Xyjan at isang malakas na palakpakan at sigawan na naman ang sumalubong sa kaniya ng bumaba na sya ng stage. Naiiyak parin ako hanggang ngayon, grabe.
