The other day I have witnessed the graduation of my cousin Lara, B.S. Nursing, and my kumare, Lili's godmother Honey Balase, College of Law, as Liceo de Cagayan University had their 34th commencement exercises. It was a grand event for the school as it was the first time they had given an honorary degree to one of the country's top entrepreneur and politician, Manny Villar. But more than that, I feel for the parents who were sitting with us on the bleachers as they witness the graduation of their children, and themselves, graduating from financial constraints... hopefully...
I was once a graduate once, twice, many times...lol... I have had my share of graduations and every time I join the ceremonies, I am filled with awe and determination of what comes next. The ceremony is more than just a ceremony. It is but the turning point of each graduate's life... marking the end, and a new beginning.
I could not help but imagine myself being one of the parents and Lili, being one of the students graduating... whew.. that will be the day... but of course, it will still be a long wait... Like all mothers or any parent, who hopes for the best for their children, I am convinced that each graduate there is more than just a graduate, but each, a future awaiting to unfold...
