Here’s how the invitation reads:
,
Malugud kayong inaanyayahan
ng mga Guro at ng Klaseng Magtatapos
ng Mataas na Paaralan ng Ateneo de Manila
sa Pagdiriwang ng Banal na Misa
at sa Taunang Pagtatapos
sa Linggo, ika tatlumpu ng Marso,
taong dalawang libo’t walo
sa Ateneo de Manila High School Covered Courts
Loyola Heights, Lungsod Quezon
Misa: 8:00 n.u.
Pagtatapos: 4:30 n.h.
Vince (who is the real middle child—4th out of 7) graduates from high school tomorrow, 30 March 2008, and soon he begins a new chapter in his life—college. He is not anymore new to this, as he has seen his 2 elder brothers (also graduates of Ateneo High, one has graduated from UP School of Economics and another currntly in UP taking up BS Applied Physics) and another sister is in Ateneo Law School.
The names of the honor students and those who received special awards have been announced. Vince graduates with honors—THIRD HONORS!
That is aside from the other awards and certificates that he got through the 4 years that he was at the Ateneo High School. Being in class of “B” is already an honor itself. Section B is the honors section for Math.
CONGRATULATIONS, VINCE! and Thank You.
You make us all proud and extra happy, because with or without honors, we are still happy for you for completing your high school, for being there for your siblings, for being there (and sometimes not—you know what I mean) for me up to the wee hours of the morning, for your various extra- and co-curricular activities (do you ever rest and have time for yourself?), for being just the way you are.
C’mom, decide na for your college: Ateneo or UP?
(wink, wink from Michael up above!)
