RISCI GRAD 0708

School year 2007-2008 has finally reached its end. Scholars from the 7^th Batch of the Rizal National Science High School are now ready to face a new chapter in their lives – the college life.

Within their four years of rigid training here in RiSci, Batch 07 has accomplished their duties and tasks as the cream of the crop, not just as ordinary high schoolers. They were trained and wrought with excellence as scholars, taught with good and moral deeds, and wholly set to become better and successful citizens that will lead us in the future.

This April 3, year 2008, RiSci’s 7^th Commencement Exercises up with the theme “Rizalenong Gradweyt: Ipagdiwang ang Tagumpay, Harapin ang Hamon”, will officially declare a remarkable ending, and definitely a start of just a new beginning for a total of 119 scholars of the 7^th Batch – 39 boys and 80 girls to be exact.

In every graduation, there will always be recognition of those students with the fruits of their hard work in academics, and even in their exemplary accomplishments in their extra curricular activities. Some may not be in the honor roll, but still, they contributed a lot for the school, and still offered themselves and their loved ones the triumph they had arrived at.

This year’s outstanding students were: Louie Aldrin M. Intalan of IV-Humility, batch valedictorian; Gert Rino M.Mansos of IV-Patience, salutatorian; Patrick G. Rollan of IV-Fortitude, 1^st honorable mention; Robert Alfie S. Pena and Angeline D. Abibuag, both from IV-Perseverance, attained the 2^nd and the 3^rd honorable mentions, respectively; Ma. Jessamine R. Versoza, Karla Marianne C. Caraan, and John Lorenzo A. Yambot, all from IV-Fortitude, were correspondingly the 4^th, the 5^th and the 6^th honorable mentions; Anna Clarysse F. Medina of IV-Perseverance, 7^th honorable mention; Mary Reiza Ericka Reusi of IV-Patience, 8^th honorable mention; Christian Edward P. Manalac of IV-Humility, 9^th honorable mention; Jane Clarice R. Laurente of IV-Humility, 10^th honorable mention; Ulyses A. Solon Jr. of IV-Perseverance, 11^th honorable mention; Irene A. Miranda of IV-Fortitude, 12^th honorable mention; and Arna Sharlyn M. Ramirez of IV-Humility, 13^th honorable mention.

The graduation proper, headed by the RNSHS principal, Mrs. Ma. Elena V. Bernardo, includes several speakers that will congratulate, inspire, and motivate each graduate to pursue and strive harder for their dreams. Mr. Rogelio Estacio, RiSci’s product from the 2^nd batch, spoke to them and gave them thoughts to live by as they approach one of their greatest challenges in life - the college life. Hon. Casimiro Ynares III, Mr. Ferdinand Pascual, Mrs. Marites A. Ibanez, Hon. Cecilio M. Ynares, Hon. Michael John R. Duavit, and Hon. Jesli A. Lapuz are some of the guest speakers that will share and bestow their thoughts and heartening messages that will certainly help the graduates in building up their futures.

Truly, Batch 07’s stay here in RiSci conveyed out the potentials they have inside since they first entered this school. They encountered challenges here in this institution that sometimes gave them complexity, but inevitably clarified its importance in creating a more ideal and an improved person in them.

Rizal Science served as a firm foundation for their higher journey in education. They can employ their experiences here in their outside spree; use them as instruments in following their dreams and reaching the pinnacle they ever wanted to achieve.
