DEDICATION

The scent of the blissful dawn had been able to wake me up even if I was discontentedly enjoying a deep sleep that just started last midnight. Though my eyes were partly closed, it felt like my body is moving on its own and got dressed in just a blink of an eye. As a part of my daily routine, I always go to a nearby coffee shop to indulge myself in a cup of coffee so my adrenaline will get back to work. I ordered a cup of it and some gingerbreads and sit on the wooden stool beside the counter. The aroma of the morning drink circled my senses that made me relaxed and feel like the time had just stopped. That calm experience made me think, remember the past- the high school days. The life that we lived through in that phase is, indeed, one of the ecstatic experiences I had ever lived. And after some time, while many things were floating in my mind, I found myself looking in that half-filled cup. I pondered and remembered the things that give this delightful drink the perfect blend that can not be compared to anything else.

What made it soothing after I drank it?

Is that the CREAMER? This ingredient lessens the bitterness of the brew so we can drink it without hesitation. It is like our PARENTS, when we encounter the difficult times in our four years of struggle. Even if we disobey them sometimes, we would always find ourselves going back to them, maybe to cry or to seek protection from failures and problems, waiting them to shower their love to us. And like the creamer, as it lessens that bitterness, the parents lessened our burdens and made us surpass the difficulties of our lives.

Is that the SUGAR? This also helps the brew to be drinkable. Without it, only bitterness would fill our mouth and it would make us vomit all we had eaten. And just like this ingredient, our TEACHERS, for us, are very essential. Without them, what will we learn? We acquired a great knowledge from them and we must not waste it for it will help us achieve our dreams. And of course, we must include in that “knowledge” the values that we learned from them. We must feel thankful of leading us not to the disastrous labyrinth but to the woods of grace.

Is it the HOT WATER? We know that without it, we will not be able to drink and appreciate the rich blend of the brew. It is like the school, our ALMA MATER, ANGONO PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL. We are raised by our parents and one of the things that they do to us is to send us to school, so we can learn the things we may not know in our home. This institution had given us a precious treasure that will never be forgotten. Like the hot water, we will not forget the comforting feeling of the coffee and its relief.

Is it the main ingredient, the COFFEE? It is none other than us, GRADUATES. The coffee bears the real flavor of the brew. We bore the real challenge that has to be accomplished, or the task that has to be finished. And the more the coffee bits we pour in our cup, the great the flavor it produces. Just like our friends, the more of them, the less we feel worried. We must be also thankful to them for this will not become an adventurous and wondrous rollercoaster ride without them.

After thinking that factors, I almost forgot the most important of all, the CUP. And to whom will I compare it? It is GOD. The cup makes us able to drink what we want, not just the coffee brew we drink in the morning. And of course, without God, all of the things all over the world will become useless. Because of God, we are able to understand that we need Him to fulfill our mission in life, to understand every part of it. We must glorify Him for his abundant blessings that have been given by Him and the guidance and protection that He provided is incomparable and astounding. We must thank him for he always dwells in our hearts, not leaving us even just for a second.

Oh, I just came up with a conclusion that all played their part. All the ingredients had helped me feel this serenity I was enjoying right now. All the people, parent, teachers, graduates and friends had done what has to be done. And with help of our alma mater, and God, we had a spectacular finish and this had made us ready to the next path that we will go through.

All of you: to the fellow students, to our dear parents, to our beloved teachers, to our dear Alma Mater, and to the God Almighty, thank you and,

TO THEE WE SHALL RETURN…

After making my cup empty, I went out to the coffee shop going to my next destination- college life-, thinking and remembering the greatness and the sweetness of the perfect blend of that coffee.

“Now, that’s a good brew! Continue and spread your aroma. ”
