Congrats, BATCH 2022! ❤️

Graduating batch of 2022 received the most challenging academic school years. Starting from the implementation of K-12 Program, the COVID-19, online class, and the limited face-to-face classes, and now, graduation.

We are known to be the first batch of K-12 Program and said to be the "EXPERIMENTAL BATCH". During our terms, many programs have been implemented and we are the pioneer of these programs - which basically means that we are in their trial-and-error analysis. Whether it will be a success or not, will depend on us. Because of these, we tend to be confused whether we are doing it right or not.

The fact that we are in their experiments, we received unfavorable decisions and situations. We don't have enough equipment or instruments to be used. Most especially, they are having HIGH EXPECTATIONS on us. That the fact that we have undergone Senior High School, we are capable of succeeding college in an instant.

But that's wrong. Instead of coping up with college, we are more challenged since we entered college having different strands during SHS years. Some of us are not inclined on the tracks they have taken. Because of this, total adjustments are done.

But despite all of these events, we are now here. We are now going to receive our diplomas, FINALLY!!!

To all my fellow graduating students, I am so proud of us. I am so amazed how we handle every single moment of our college life. I know it was not easy and will never be easy especially that pandemic hit us. Struggles, depressions, stress and anxieties visited us without any invitation! It was so tough. But we don't have a choice but to keep on pushing forward because this is our dream - a dream worth million of smiles.

And to myself, I am so proud of you for doing your best! I know you all your breakdowns, cries, and dull moments, but you did it! You succeeded in your academics. No one knows how hard you tried, how much you cried because of anxieties and depressions. Expectations are all around you. The pressure was too much, but YOU DID IT!!! And after all, you deserve to receive an award and gift. Don't forget to treat yourself. YOU DESERVE IT.
