Short Valedictory Address

To our energetic minister of education, dear principal, respectable faculty and staff, beloved parents, classmates, ladies and gentlemen a pleasant morning to all of you. Today we are gathered here to celebrate the end of our elementary days and to start a new phase of our life. In every endeavours that we had we have come to realize the fruits of its success.
I represent the whole class yet I can't be standing infront of you without a very special person at my back. My mom. Our moms who have been there every day of our life, to every first word that we wrote, the first line we draw and the first phrase we utter. But in my case it was otherwise.

When I was very young I saw how my mom worked hard for me. She gave me all the things I need yet she never gave me time to be taught. I never told her how I learned to draw, I never told her how I learned to write, I never told her ho I knew to read and even this day she never knew I'll be standing here in front of you.

As a child I learned to be independent. I have been open minded that learning is a passion and not an obligation. Where has my passion brought me? Here in this stage. Still, it was because I learned from my mom.
Learning is continuous. It is something we should be looking for. Our moms and dads may not give all their time with us yet we different from them. Thy already had their shares of learning but we are just starting up. But wherever learning brings you remember the person at your back.
As I said I never told my mom about my achievements in this institution. I never told her about meetings. I never told her about the troubles I had. I never told her how my studies was and I never told her that she will be seeing me here. Because I believe that the best gift I could give to my mom is surprise more than  engagement rings.
