My beloved CATUC family, colleagues, friends,
It is with a heavy heart but a grateful spirit that I address this to you all today.
For the past year, it has been my honor to serve as Miss CATUC. I have been humbled by the opportunity to represent this great institution and to work alongside such dedicated and passionate individuals.
As I pass the crown to the next Miss CATUC, I reflect on my journey with immense nostalgia.
Yet, amidst the bittersweet memories, I find myself filled with gratitude for all that this experience has taught me. I am deeply grateful for the guidance and support of my faculty advisors, mentors, and fellow students, who have helped me grow and develop in ways I never thought possible.
As I transition from the Miss CATUC role, I hope that my experiences and lessons learned will serve as a foundation for the next titleholder. May she learn from my shortcomings and surpass them with ease, transforming my failures into her achievements.
It is my sincerest wish that the next Miss CATUC will carry our beloved flag even higher than I could have dreamed. May she break boundaries, redefine success, and serve our community with the utmost dedication and grace.
To the CATUC team, the student body, and everyone else who has made my time in this role so memorable, I offer my heartfelt thanks. I am forever indebted to you for the memories and friendships that will hopefully endure long after I have passed the torch.
And now, with a heavy heart but a thankful spirit, I bid you all farewell.
Tan Carla,
Miss CATUC 2024.
