Iāve been stopping myself from posting something that can be labeled as dramatic since before I graduate. As much as I want to put into words how thankful I am for all the things I have accomplished, I canāt make it unless I have a proof. Iāve always been that type.. making myself certain for something first. Because Iām always afraid of saying something I am not and something I cannot prove. I can still remember how terrified I am every time I go to class when I entered college. Thereās always this abnormal rapid beating of my heart that makes me hard to breathe. And it turns out to me being scared of expectations. But I am more scared of not being able to fulfill them. When I found out I am capable of being an academic scholar, I continued what I have started. I continued working hard. Not because I want to graduate with honor but because I want to help my parents from all the finances. As what they say, life itself is never perfect. I also had an utmost downfall. I forgot what really my goal in life is. I forgot that I am working hard for myself and not for somebody else. However (this is actually a thesis paper lol), God didnāt let me fall. He caught me even before I hit the ground. He held me, whispered to me what I was doing to my life and reminded me my purpose of being here. He saved me. For the nth time, He saved me again. Now, I want to claim all these fruits of hardwork as the fruit of life God gave me to prosper. None of everything I have right now is mine. It is His. It has always been His. And I am so grateful that he has chosen me to be the one who could have all of this. He also gave me parents I will be forever thankful for. They has been my motivation all throughout. Though there has been this thin line between motivation and pressure, I am still thankful for their part in my life, my success. I owe everything to them and I wonāt ever stop making them proud. This is just the least thing I can do for everything theyāve done for me. And I believe and I hope I can do more to let them now how wonderful parents they have been to me and to my siblings. And to everyone who has been a part of me, my family, my friends, my mentors and my teachers, I am giving them my deepest gratitude because I wouldnāt be who I am today without them. Ps: this is a graduation speech. Lol
