MESSAGE FROM THE AWARDEES VIRTUAL GRADUATION PANDEMIC

    Good day everyone! I am truly honoured and thankful to share this achievement with our family, friends and fellow Batch 2021 graduates.

 

            Losing the last of our elementary year to the pandemic was not what we had planned. It is certainly an experience that will impact our lives forever and a memory that we will never, ever forget. Studying and learning new lessons is challenging enough with the help of our wonderful teachers. With the added responsibilities of helping at the house, and other circumstances that come with being at home, it seemed impossible to keep up with the modules. We had to face a multitude of barriers. But with our unrelenting will to succeed, despite all of the setbacks and obstacles, our drive, our perseverance, and our will power to endure are stronger than any obstacles that come our way.

 

These uncertain times have brought challenges for us, but they have also brought us important lessons, far more than those from the modules and activity sheets. Although this pandemic has taken many things from us, it has also given us the opportunity to highlight what is truly important.  The change to focus on appreciation, gratitude, support and collaboration. We are the batch that started a crusade that expressed a heightened appreciation for teachers, healthcare professionals, and all essential workers who risk their lives everyday so we can stay safe and healthy.

To our family, friends, and teachers, words are not enough to express our appreciation and gratitude during this school year. As long as you are here for us, and with the grace of God, we can surpass everything and can move mountains.

To my fellow graduates, we all deserve to celebrate and be proud of ourselves. It is saddening that we cannot have a traditional graduation ceremony and we cannot control the circumstances that we face today. But what we can do is choose how we respond to it as we take these next steps in life. It can be hard to imagine what life could look like as time progresses. The only certainty we have is that time goes on. We can use the pandemic as an excuse for why we can't move on in life, or we can use it as a motivator to find our purpose.

All of the things that we have been through up to this point make us who we are, and the best part is, we are not done yet. We will continue to experience things and make memories every day that mold us to who we truly are and who we are meant to become. 

Now, as we step into the next stage and start to reach our goals, there will be harder challenges to overcome. But our willpower has been proven irrevocable. Never forget fellow graduates, that as long as we keep our diligence and determination, we are an unstoppable force.

Move forward Batch 2021! Together, we will survive this pandemic.

Congratulations to all of us!
