To our honored guests, hard working teachers of Balaoang High School Annex, supportive parents, fellow graduates, visitors and friends, ladies and gentlemen – GOOD EVENING! Overjoyed and elated, that’s how I feel tonight as I stand before this big crowd, for we are here to witness a grand celebration of our victory in our educational pursuit. Our graduation day is the day that all of us have waited for -- a day of harvest on our part as learners. Indeed, we have pondered this day a new dawn, an evidence of our victory in a battle of four long years through our laurels. We were contenders in the different events in terms of educational afflictions based on the standards of the Department of Education, leading to academic excellence. Finally, we have come to this moment – GRADUATION, the most jubilant and blissful part in pursuing an education. We may not be sure if we can still manage to outdo the tests on the next pace, yet one thing is certain, we are all confident and determined to move ahead. I am of mixed emotions tonight, I tell you –emotions of happiness and sadness. Sadness because of the thought that at this very soon we shall be leaving our Alma Mater and our dear schoolmates. And happiness, of course, because to hold one’s diploma feels like ecstasy, we feel perfectly happy and pleased, for we have undergone numerous trials and we have survived. All we can say now is thank you to our dear parents and teachers, who sacrificed a lot for us. We owe a lot to you. God speed to our classmates and friends. Above all, we thank you dear God, for making our days on this stage of the educational ladder a SUCCESS. We consider this night the most perfect night as it marks a grand celebration of our victory and fame. We cannot repay you but we guarantee to be good throughout our lives as we carry all the principles of our dear Alma Mater. Mabuhay ang bawat isa! To all of you, we give thanks for the unending love, care, support, and sacrifices you have extended to us. You will always be in our hearts because you made our lives complete and splendid. To our entire guests, visitors, and parents who made it to be here tonight, we welcome you with all our hearts, minds , souls, and hands wide open. We hope you will enjoy your stay. Once again, welcome and bear with us until the end of this celebration. Good evening and long live!

...the bad side, where is the great things which were accomplished by the youths. When reading your article, the survey which you “claim” to be accurate seems far from it. I highly doubt that “90% of adults would be frightened to approach a group of teenagers”; “British adults fear that teenagers are not properly educated” and “80% of adults believe that teenagers today lack morality”. This is absolute garbage. I believe you are stereotyping the youth especially those from underprivileged backgrounds. Success Me personally, I am from an underprivileged background, I live in a council estate. Lots of youth in my area have done positives thing. 2012. A big year for us Londoners. The Olympics. Thousands of youth volunteered to help out and welcome people, I was part of this alongside other teens from my area. So by you saying that the youth are “behaving like animals” is clearly wrong. Before Britain was not a welcoming country. However, the youth have contributed and changed the way we welcomed the other nations. This does show us “behaving like animals”. No! “Too many British adults feat that teenagers are not properly educated”, an overstatement made. This is because, more teenagers than ever before are stating on at school after 16 to study. In addition to this, 62% achieve at least 5 GCSE grades at A-C, in comparison to 44% a decade early and 26% 10 years before that. This clearly shows that there is an increase and the youth are educated properly. As you can clearly see...

The Welcome Table

...“The Welcome Table” Arlene Randolph ENG 125 Introduction to Literature Cicely Young, Instructor November 11, 2013 The Welcome Table The title of the story would lead you to believe that this particular “table” would be welcoming, warm and inviting and the people sitting behind the table would receive you joyfully and happily. It is unfortunate that not all “welcome tables” fit this description. This story captured my interest two ways: because I am familiar with the author, Alice Walker, and having read her Pulitzer Prize book “The Color Purple”. In addition, Ms. Walker established an image at the beginning of the story. As noted in the text an image is a distinct representation of something that can be experienced and understood through the senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste). (Clugston, 2010) With the description of the old woman’s attire I was able to picture in my mind exactly what she was wearing and even that she had cataract. “There was a dazed and sleepy look in her aged blue-brown eyes”. (Clugston, 2010) The setting of this story takes place in Georgia during a time when this woman did not have an automobile and had to walk ½ a mile to church. It took place at a time when all parishioners were not allowed to worship at the same church. While reading this story, I found that this old woman was not welcomed in this particular church (table) that she found herself in, I believe, because she was African American and it was a Caucasian...

Kid Cudi

...In 2010, Kid Cudi made a guest appearance on One Tree Hill, starring as himself and performing in the show. Kid Cudi also starred in the HBO comedy series How to Make It in America, as part of the main cast, until its cancellation after 2 seasons.[60] Personal life On March 26, 2010, his daughter, Vada Wamwene Mescudi, was born.[61][62] Throughout 2012, Cudi was in a quiet but bitter custody battle with the mother of the child. Reports surfaced that Cudi gave up custody after his child's mother accused him of being an absentee father, as well as having violent tendencies and a "long history of consistent drug and alcohol abuse." These claims were disputed by Cudi and his attorney in a statement, which noted: Cudi did not give up custody but reached an amicable agreement with the mother; that "both parents are fit and proper persons to have custody of their child," as stated in the final custody judgement; results came back negative for drugs in a drug test voluntarily taken by Cudi; and that the court acknowledged Cudi attempted to establish a relationship and visit his child since her birth and "voluntary provided financial support, including child support, rent and other monthly payments, for his daughter since her birth until the time that a child support order was entered as part of the normal course of the case." Details of the official custody agreement remain private.[63] Cudi has purchased a property in Chicago to be close to his...

Reinvention of the Orient Women

...The reinvention of the new “Orient Woman” According to Said, “Oritentalism”, the colonial stereotype is a complex and contradictory process. It arises due to the fear of miscegenation, yet the “other” is prefigured as being simultaneously an object of fear and desire. The “other”, on one hand, a subject of suppressed, disgust and discrimination, the other, it is a dream, fantasy, obsessions and desire. Therefore, it is fair to infer that the Orient is not a property of bodies or something originally existent in human beings; rather it is the social construct. Specifically, it is the product of the society’s dominant class – the Whites, the master- narrative. Racial differences have been used as a basis for racial stereotypes, for instance the White “norm” versus Non-white people. It is clear that racial identity is marked on skin. It is undeniable that some stereotypes do/might have a basis of truth, however such stereotypes do not take into the account of differences among the Orient. It is out of fear and apprehensiveness that lead to the birth of such unjust stereotypes, the film “Memoirs of a Geisha” directed by Rob Marshall highlights the irony of the stereotypes resulting in fragmentations of identity. “Memoirs of a Geisha” (Marshall, 2005) offers an interesting twist to our typical story-telling, the women are no longer silenced, and the story is told through the voice of a woman (though written by a male...

...Analysis of Pooh Bear’s Nonsensical Hums Throughout the story, Pooh bear hums and songs are added to create a sort of lightness to so called serious situations. He is a simple, humorous and loving character that captures the facets of childhood. Milne has created a novel to entertain children and their parents through creating a quirky yet secure world of imagination, adventure and enjoyment. During the time period when Winnie the Pooh was written there were many historical events taking place, such as the World War, social dilemmas confronting England and the technological advances in society. None of which are mentioned in the book. Paula T. Connolly writes the following about Winnie-the-Pooh “envisions an alternative world that is safe, rural, insulated and largely Edenic.” We can see why Connolly would think as such from the many poems and hums throughout the novel, which are unstructured and non-judgmental. An example of this would be the “Cloud Song” (pg.17) where Pooh Bear sings about being a cloud to deceive the Queen Bee. The song is spontaneous and Milne appreciates that children have this great gift of imagination like Pooh. The hums, poems and songs are “largely Edenic” (4) throughout the book and it is said that children have a greater connection to nature than what an adult does; so nature is supposed to inspire us and make one feel like a child again.   On the other hand some aspects of the poems are much darker than what meets the eye. One may say that the...

Kurt Vonnegut Literary Research Paper

...Ganelle Curry Professor Meredyth Puller English 102-12 February 27, 2013 Literary Research Paper This literary research paper is based on the book Welcome to the Monkey House: A Collection of Short Works by Kurt Vonnegut. Welcome to the Monkey House: A Collection of Short Works consists of 25 short stories most of which had previously appeared in magazines such as The Atlantic Monthly, Ladies Home Journal, Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine, Collier’s Magazine, Saturday Evening Post, The New York Times, Esquire, Venture, and Cosmopolitan. The title story appeared in Playboy magazine the same year the collection was released. Eleven of the stories were reprinted from Vonnegut’s 1961 short story collection Canary in a Cat House (Vonnegut). This paper will focus on four futuristic science fiction stories from the collection. These stories, “Welcome to the Monkey House”, “Harrison Bergeron”, “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, and “Unready to Wear” all share a dystopian science fiction theme. Science and technology are supposed to make the world a better place, but instead, Vonnegut concludes they only create a new set of problems (Farrell, “Science and Technology in the Works of Kurt Vonnegut”). Television is often a target of satire in much of his fiction from the 1950’s. He describes it as desensitizing and numbing while deceiving the masses (Werlock). Vonnegut uses satire and pessimism throughout these dystopian stories. Satire is a special form of literature...
