As the event progressed, it also reminded me of the
true value of parents in the academic journey of their
children - being the silent support that steadily blows the
wind beneath their wings in order for their offspring to
soar high and reach their full potentials. And as years go
by, they will still be there to continuously be a sustenance
to their personal and family lives. And it becomes a never
ending cycle that makes up the beauty of life.
Yet, as one leaves the corners of a school, one must
keep in their hearts the love and passion they have ac-
quired in order to bring honor and privilege to their Alma
Mater and to never forget the place that nourished their
intellectual and emotional growth. A student should al-
ways be thankful to the people who molded him through
the years - the teachers, faculty members, and of course
the unsung heroes of your lives – your parents.
