    GRADUATION SPEECH: Do not be afraid of failing, as long as you keep
    learning, you keep winning!
    By: AUBRIE NICOLE C. IPULAN

    …University officials, dear parents, beloved teachers, fellow graduates, good afternoon.

    As I am standing here behind this podium, I cannot help but remember all the other times I have
    been given the privilege to speak on behalf of my batch: two years ago, in tenth grade, I
    expressed my words of gratitude; in sixth grade, I delivered my Valedictory Speech, and in
    Kinder 2, I gave my first Welcome Address.

    I was standing there at the center and did not know to whom I shall turn my head whenever I
    greeted the university officials. So young and naive. Now, I am yet again having an exceptional
    chance to share my insights, personally express my gratefulness, and of course, speak on behalf
    of you, my fellow graduates.

    Our journey in our Senior High School life was like a roller coaster ride – not because we had
    our fair share of ups and downs but because of the plot twists we experienced all throughout
    these years. Who among you here tried having failing marks in exams? Who has had days of
    community service due to extensive number of tardiness? Who has gone crying due to Research?
    Who has thought of giving up? Who wanted to succeed?

    You see, we have faced innumerable challenges and surpassed all of them because of our will to
    succeed. We may have thought of giving up at the middle of the stormy days, but our dreams
    were bigger than our problems. We say ayoko na but our action does laban pa. You see, what’s
    good with us Filipinos is our resiliency. We can easily recover from any mishaps: we stand up
    after tumbling into hardships bringing with us new lessons we’ve learned. We stand up through
    challenges stronger than before. Why is that so? Because we see failures as our building blocks
    towards forming a better version of ourselves.

    For one, I’ve also had my fair share of hardships and struggles. If your opinions about me are
    based on my rank now, thinking that life for me must have been easy, that I do not cram when
    there’s surprise quiz, that I do not problematize Research, Chemistry, Physics… then you are all
    wrong.

    Pressure – that is my greatest enemy but it also played an important role in building myself. My
    teachers expect too much from me. My classmates look up to me. You may think that the feeling
    must be so great but for me. It is not. My mistakes are easily noticed and they easily judge me
    based on those mistakes. I get low scores too and even sometimes spend the night crying because
    I do not know how to balance my responsibilities anymore then end up failing the people who
    believed in me.

    Fellow graduates, I am openly expressing myself because I want you to realize that anything that
    happened to us in the previous years, even the smallest of things, has contributed a lot to our
    humanity. I want you to accept your flaws because that made you who you are today.

    As we have come to end of our Senior High School journey, let us not forget to acknowledge the
    values of gratitude we’ve inculcated and humility coupled with our faith in our Almighty
    Creator. This paves the way for us to reach this point in our life and achieve these fruits of our
    labor. So many people had a hand in our success. Let us all thank them and give them a round of
    applause.

    More importantly, I would like to express my deepest and sincerest gratitude to my family for
    not pushing me too hard, for their encouragement, and for being sensitive with and
    understanding of what I feel. Thank you so much for the laughter, tears, comfort, patience, care,
    and love. I cannot express any further how thankful I am to have you as my example in
    everything. Above all, I would like to thank God for guiding me all throughout everything, for
    hearing and answering my prayers, and most especially, for blessing me with superb people who
    continue to provide me the guidance to do what is just and right.

    Despite all the challenges, there are a lot to thank for. Personally and sincerely, thank you all for
    being part of this wonderful and meaningful journey.

    Plants grow better during rainy days. Fellow graduates, let us not forget the struggles we faced
    and the important lessons in life we learned during our education process no matter how dark and
    hurtful the past was. Let us bear in mind that these are our foundation in building a sturdier
    version of ourselves.

    This graduation ceremony is a great manifestation of the hard work, sweat, and tears we’ve
    invested in our education. Let us congratulate each other for overcoming those challenges and
    for being able to reach this far.

    Let us not worry ourselves for failing because it is through our failures that we learn better.
    Failing means having a time to breathe, having a time to rethink things, having a space to grow.
    It serves as a redirection in our lives.

    Everyone fails but not all who fail is a failure for failures are only for those who did not have the
    courage to stand up after they fall. We will fail… but, we will never give up. Let this be our
    mantra for the rest of our challenging lives. Do not be afraid of failing, as long as you keep
    learning, you keep winning!
    Congratulations everyone! Thank you very much and good afternoon! May the speed force be
    with us all!
