CLOSING MESSAGE:
me: Before we part ways, in behalf of the Solong ES family we would like to
leave a short message to ponder of our dear graduates...
Don’t forget to thank everyone who helped you reached this day. Thank
your parents for their undying support to you. Thank your teachers for their
dedication in teaching you everything you needed to learn. Thank your
classmates for always being there and for sharing in all your school’s tasks
and events. Take a good look at each one of you will go on their separate
ways. But no matter what happen remember to thank God for making all of
these possible.
However, bear in mind that after graduation is not time to relax rather it
is time for preparation and soul searching. For graduation is not the end of a
book, but just finishing a chapter. You have to enter another episode, another
exciting and much more challenging phase. Be therefore strong and always
strive for perfection.
May God’s graces be with you as you step ahead towards your
dreams. Keep the courage as you face new challenges in life.
Congratulations! We are proud of you!
