have studied in Small World for almost my whole life. I participated in all kinds of school activities and I try my best to represent the school in whatever chance I get. However, with all these activities and opportunities, I started to question the meaning of life and our existence but that’s when I realized that there is only one reason for our existence and it’s to glorify God. The verse, Colossians 3:23, has served as my compass in my journey. This verse reminded me that everything I do here on earth, is to be able to please our God and not anybody else. Fernandez, Jessica Ablao Flores, Philip Timothy Cuyco Joshua 1:9 Psalm 141:8a “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and “But my eyes are fixed on You, O Sovereign Lord - in courageous.

Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the broken hearted, He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”
I have spent most of my life in Small World, and to
be honest I have complained my way through. But now that this chapter is coming to a close, I have learned to be grateful for all my years here. Through good and bad, everyone here has been like family. I would just like to thank everyone in Small World for both the good and bad moments because it is what made me who I am today. I will leave with no regrets but only with lessons. I thank the teachers, students, and friends but now I only see all of you as family. Thank you to my family as well for everything.

perfect behavior. I have my flaws too much to list, yet here I stand proud of what I have become. I have had my ups and downs and run-ins with the guidance counselor, but I thank everyone who has been there for me, who have accepted and corrected me. I would like to thank my parents for their constant support and love which has given me the drive to go further. I would like to thank my classmates for accepting me, correcting me, and making my high school life very enjoyable. I thank the teachers for being my beloved second parents and giving me corrections and teaching me life lessons which I will carry with me for a whole life time. I especially thank God for giving me these people who have loved and supported me, it is thanks to Him that I have gone this far.

Romans 5:8 “But, God demonstrates his own love in this, while we were still sinners Christ died for us.”
As I take my last steps as a student of small world, I
will remember one thing development. This institution has become a foundation for my convictions and beliefs that will help me get through the trials the world may give me. My friends, family and teachers continually train me in the word of God allowing me to find my identity in him, and as I leave this place, I will carry on the truth and be the bastion of light in the dark places I would be in.
