To the people who always bring out the best in us, our dear teachers:
We, students couldn't possibly find the right words to show how grateful we are for everything you have done for us. We aren't just grateful for your presence, we consider ourselves lucky and most especially blessed, to have someone like you in our lives, being with us as we grow not just as a student but as a person. You have not only taught us lessons that are in the curriculum but you have also taught us lessons, real-life lessons that does not only encompass the four corners of the classroom but goes beyond it. You weren't just teachers, you were mentors, second parents even.
All our memories with you, inside and outside the classroom will forever be treasured in our hearts and will always be rooted at the back of our minds as we continue and take on our journey through life. You will always be one of the special people that make us realize that it is our intelligence that makes us good, but it is our values that makes us better.
We may have our misunderstandings and sometimes, our attitudes may be out of hand. We may be a bit stubborn and show that we don't care, but let me tell you, in behalf of all the students, we are sorry for our mistakes, and we will always be proud to have you as the one who corrects them. You never fail to remind us that mistakes does not define us as a person, and you will always be one of the reasons why we keep going on, why we come out stronger, and smarter.
All of the students here wouldn't be who they are now, without your help, without your guidance, without YOU. I can already imagine how each of us would stand proud and successful in the future, whispering to ourselves "I would not have made it without my teachers. They always make me a better version of myself."
- Louie Philip Aala, Senior High School Governor, on his message of thanks to the teachers.
