1. To our beloved school director Mr. Juan dela Cruz, to
the ACLC, instructors and members of the staff, fellow
students, guests, good afternoon.
Today, is the time for us, to accept and be thankful of
the responsibilities that the outgoing Student Council is
passing to us. You may not be wondering how complicated the
word "responsibility" is. Responsibility means accepting
something that you and you alone are accountable for your
life. Being responsible therefore is a realization that you are,
where you are and what you are, because of your conduct and
behavior. We, must be trained to accept every responsibility
that we are accountable of. We must start now. Not later nor
tomorrow, because being responsible today makes us a
successful person someday.
Accepting the key of responsibility is not about the key
itself, it is about how we would handle and serve as a leader
to the studentry. We are no longer kids. We must now learn
how to discipline ourselves, we must learn how to control
our unstoppable voices and lastly we must now be able to
distinguish what is right from what is wrong. Next school
year, the next batch of officers will be accepting the same key
of responsibility. Isn't it nice to hear that we served as a role
modelto them? Isn't it heart melting if we hear them say
"Thank you for being a good example". It is cliché to say "Good
leader is a good follower", but that is a fact. At this moment
we embody the Student Council, we are now the leader of
the whole studentry. But the phrase "good leader is a good
follower" won't make any sense if we won’t apply it. So as a
start, we must learn how to follow God, our Parents, our
Teachers and lastly, the rules and regulations of our school.
Rules and regulations of our school are so essential in our life,
because disciplined people knows how to follow it,
responsible people knows how to apply it and I say successful
people are thankful for those. If we learn and start to follow
it, we can be a good leader, a model to everyone and a
successful person too.
In behalf of the Student Council of school year 2013-
2014, we whole heartedly and humbly accept the key
of responsibility that you entrusted to us. The legacy that you
will leave in our school and in our life will still continue. The
values you showed will not stop in us, as what I’ve said, it
WILL CONTINUE. Because the next time we pass these
responsibilities, we will definitely remind the incoming ones
how you took care and handled everything here in
our institution.
As we assume our responsibilities as the Officers of the
Council, please allow me a moment to thank those who have
supported our endeavors; for without your trust, we won’t be
here to serve you. Thank you all very much.
