“Today we celebrate our graduation with great happiness and pride, but also with sadness and nostalgia, as we leave behind a stage of our lives filled with memories and experiences, to enter a world where nothing is certain. The only thing we carry with us is the memory of when the school ‘adopted’ us as its own children, gave us the love and support to pursue our dreams and goals, encouraged us to become people we can be proud of today, gave us the courage to face our problems with maturity, and taught us the value and importance that one or several people can hold in our hearts over time.
I hope that along the path we choose, we meet people we can consider and eventually call our family—just as I am proud and happy to call this school and its members my family. And I hope that, just like for me and my classmates, more people will realize how special and meaningful this home we call CEDAP can truly be.”
