“Ask not
what the country can do for you but together we ask what we can do for our
country.” It was one of the catchiest lines I’ve read from a book that Mr. John
F. Kennedy has uttered before. It was absolutely true!
In my four
years of stay here in this institution which I called home already, it seems
that every day of my life is déjà vu. I might see changes but most of the time
it is going to the rocky road where it’s not meant to be. The progress seems to
be a turtle-walk. Now, the call for change is again bragging our hearts. I have
been wondering if change is still possible.
I want every
one of you who could pass this short message of mine, to please inculcate not
just in your mind but more on your heart that CHANGE must originate in
yourself. I assure you that CHANGE is easy but it takes time. Student leaders
kept on saying “AKO ANG MAGSISIMULA NG PAGBABAGO” and that is you will be the
one to initiate change but that must not be and should not be the first thing. “SA
AKIN MAGSISIMULA ANG PAGBABAGO” is much and far better than that one
because in this statement the change will initiate within you.
My fellow
students who kept on asking for more from this institution please pause for a
while and think, HAVE YOU EVER DID SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE SCHOOL OR IS IT THE
SCHOOL THAT IS DOING EVERYTHING FOR YOU?
I may talk like I
knew everything and I’m innocent about what’ happening but I came to realize that
we are the hope of this school to uplift it to a higher level and to be in line
with those competitive schools when it comes to quality of education and
progress. Now, my fellow students together we stand and start the CHANGE within
us, it’s never too late just take one big step.
Again, SA AKIN MAGSISIMULA ANG PAGBABAGO.
