MESSAGE TO THE SCHOOL:
It’s not a coincidence meeting, knowing, and learning from you in this world. You have played a crucial role in my life. I can’t thank my school Trinity University of Asia enough for having such a positive impact on my life. All the activities I have participated from high school to college have provided me with opportunities, leadership and competitions. I would like to thank everyone, especially my teachers, my principal back in high school, classmates, schoolmates, the security guards, janitors, workers in canteen and Deans in college whose efforts I can not ignore. The people who have built me into the person I am. To my Dad, grandpa and teachers that stood by my side and supported me in every decision I made. I am blessed and thankful to everyone for making my school experience memorable and creating memories that will last a lifetime. I am proud to be a Trinitian. More power and blessings to everyone! – Ephesians 3:20
INSPIRING MESSAGE TO STUDENTS:
Dear Trinitians,
Try to learn from every little thing. Pag hindi nyo naiintindihan, always ask. Walang masamang magtanong (Ask your parents or teachers) It doesn’t matter if it’s sound ridiculous, they’re there to guide us. Like what every parents or elders always saying “Papunta ka pa lang, pabalik na ako.) Be the inspiration rather than looking for one. It is never to late to learn. One thing that I also learn is school is training ground natin but once grumaduate na, ang tunay na laban is outside the school. So do everything you can to
enjoy, make friends and do a lot of good memories.
There’s also additional advice na pwede ko ishare to my fellow Trinitians. A few years ago I did a commercial for ABS-CBN TFC Channel after I competed at WCOPA Sabi ko sa naginterview sa akin “Sobrang masaya po kasi hindi lang po ako lumaban para sa aking sarili (Philippine Representative – World Championship of Performing Arts) Kung hindi para din po sa bansang Pilipinas. Basta pag may pangarap huwag titigil kasi dahil sa pangarap na iyon ma-aachieve nyo yung tagumpay. Dapat pagnangangarap ka lagi din nandiyan lagi ang pamilya, kasi mas maganda ang kalalabasan.”
For my closing message, as long as we’re breathing it’s never too late to dream and do a lot of good things! Never quit trying. With all my heart, I wish you all the blessings. May you all prosper and shine!
The whole Trinity University of Asia community is very proud of you, Ms Swirtty!
