A Toast To The Graduates!

It has been seven years now since I last stepped on the covered court of my dear XU alma mater, wearing my toga, putting on my graduation cap, marching with my fellow graduates, savoring that momentous hooding ceremony, and finally.. took hold and seized the fruit of my labor.. my diploma! Now, it's time to make a toast for this year's new batch of graduates! And pay tribute to our parents who have been with us every step of the way.

Now here's a song dedicated to all the parents out there. You just don't know how proud and thankful we are for raising us like no one else can, and for giving us the best of everything.

GLOWING INSIDE

by Nikki Gil

Happy, to let you know

I love you so, it's true

Happy, that I have you

You make me glow

I want as bright as you.

Chorus:

I'll always thank you

for the glow

I thank you for the joy

Thank you for the love you give to me

I'd always like glowing inside

With your love shining through

Thank you for everything you do

I'm glowing inside because of you.

Remember, my growing years

They fill with joy

Because you're there for me

You cast away my fears

You wipe those tears

You give me strength

each day..

Who knows for what tomorrow brings

My glowing wings

You make me fly

I reach and I touch the sky because of you

I'll sore up high

so I am.

Kudos to all the Graduates! You've certainly acheived that ultimate dream of yours! Congratulations!

And to the parents, we will be forever grateful for all the love and support you have given us. We love you very much!
