Hello hivers! Allow me to introduce myself again, 
Please take a moment to read my blog, where you will discover some insightful information and lessons on my next adventure!π
Graduation Day is a special moment for all of us. It's the day we celebrate our hard work, late nights, and everything we've learned. As the day began, we felt a mix of excitement and a bit of sadness, knowing we were saying goodbye to an important chapter in our lives. In this blog, I'll share the highlights of our Graduation Day, from the joy of receiving our diplomas to the memories we made with friends and family.
My day started early at 3:00 AM. Our graduation ceremony was set for 6:00 AM, much earlier than we had hoped. Originally, it was planned for the afternoon at the Enan Chiong Activity Center (ECAC), but things changed, and we had to adapt. Many of us were disappointed, but we were determined to make the best of it.
I took a quick shower, feeling a mix of excitement and sadness. Today marked the end of our time together as classmates. We would soon be starting new journeys, but it was still hard to say goodbye.
After my shower, I had breakfast and did my makeup. I wanted to look my best for this special day. I wore a white dress I had anxiously waited for, fearing it wouldnβt arrive on time. Luckily, it arrived the day before graduation. I paired the dress with black sandals, as required, and added some accessories.
At 5:30 AM, my Aunt and I left home. She was my escort since my parents couldnβt be there. It made me sad, but I was grateful for my family who could come. My mother called me that morning, which made me happy.
We arrived just in time for the ceremony. It began with the singing of National Anthem, followed by the Naga Hymn, the Sugbo Hymn, and our school song. A short prayer set a thoughtful tone for the day.
The program started with the introduction of special guests. Then, our classmate, Virly L. Mellado, who ranked second overall, gave a welcome speech. Her words were both nostalgic and motivational. After her speech, the awarding of honors began. Only honor students went up to the stage while the rest will stay seated since we received our diplomas beforehand. This was disappointing for many of us, as we wanted everyone to have a moment on stage.
Our section, STEM, was called last. I felt proud to walk up to the stage, having ranked 7th in our class and 10th overall. Achieving High Honors was a significant accomplishment for me. Walking across that stage was a moment of pride and happiness.
After receiving our awards, we returned to our seats and took in the rest of the ceremony. The most emotional part was singing our graduation song, βLong Liveβ by Taylor Swift. We all felt the weight of the moment, knowing this was our last time together. Our adviser, Sir Mandal, had been with us for two years, and we would miss him. The song ended with many of us feeling emotional.
We then sang our Alma Mater song, a final tribute to our school. The program ended smoothly, and we gathered for class pictures. We captured these moments with our families, friends, and teachers, creating lasting memories.
After the ceremony, we went back to our classroom to return our togas. We took more pictures and said our goodbyes. It was a mix of happiness and sadness as we realized this was our last time together as senior high students.
Hunger led us to a nearby eatery, where my family and I enjoyed a delicious lunch. The meal was filled with laughter and shared stories, a perfect way to end the day.
Reflecting on the day, the early start and schedule issues didnβt matter as much. What mattered were the bonds we had formed, the achievements we celebrated, and the shared sense of moving forward. Graduation day was not just about the ceremony, it was about celebrating our growth and looking forward to the future.
As we move on, we will remember this day as a reminder of our hard work and the support we received. Hereβs to new beginnings, lifelong friendships, and the adventures ahead. As the sun set on our Graduation Day, we felt the joy and warmth of being together. It was a day to celebrate our hard work and look forward to the future. We stood side by side, thinking about our past and what lies ahead.

Remember, this day is more than just an end; it's a new beginning. Whether you are continuing your studies, starting a new job, or trying something new, keep the lessons and friendships from school close to your heart. Face every challenge with the same effort that brought you here.
As we go our separate ways, letβs remember the spirit of today. Stay curious, be strong, and always believe in yourself. Our paths may be different, but the bond we share will always be a part of us. Congratulations to the Class of 2023-2024, the world is ready for us to make a difference.π
As I draw to a close, let us never forget that supporting one another is what will always make us stronger.
Letβs wrap this up and continue our engaging conversations in my next story.π
