Traditional recognition is just a dream to all graduating classes of Batch 2020. All the parents, relatives, and friends of the graduates may only sigh with grief due to the snatched glorious moments suppose to be celebrated after so many years of hard work of schooling. But if you are a graduate that happened to attend virtual graduation, it was such a great blessing from up above knowingly that you are alive at that moment until today.

Our son Mike Terence (MT) was among the graduates of class 2020 at the time of COVID-19 pandemic. Way back early March, we talked about his incoming graduation how will we celebrate it. Those ideas always linger in our thoughts and remain there forever. As a parent and a mother, I am very excited for my son to accompany him on stage to receive his first academic diploma, but it won't happen anymore. Lately, in August, his class adviser requested us to come over to the school on schedule to receive his diploma, good moral certificate, report card, honor certificate, and medals. So at home (aside from the virtual graduation initiated by the school), we did a simple thanksgiving and recognition to our son. 

Congratulations, MT!
