TO YOU MY DEAREST SONS AND DAUGHTERS:
Can you spare me some time? Can you spend some quality moments with me? I am so eager to feel your touch, your warm embrace, your loving presence, your hearty spirit and hear your cheers and yells of joy. I SHALL ANTICIPATE LISTENING TO YOUR REVELRIES AND REVELATIONS OF YOUR RICH EXPERIENCES IN THE NAME OF SERVICE BE IT LOCAL, NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL, BE IT IN THE GOVERNMENT, PRIVATE FIRMS AND COMPANIES, FARMS, VINEYARDS, AND EVEN IN THE FIELD OF POLITICS, LEADING PEOPLE.
At the core of all virtues my dear is gratefulness. May I reiterate, please present yourself and be the greatest gift for me on the date set for us? Won’t you please come? Mark your calendar and set it a red letter day - a special appointment with love and loyalty? April 23, black Saturday at Cagayan State University, Sanchez Mira, Cagayan.
Why don’t you ever miss me? Why don’t you ever feel the passion to run to me and share me your great achievements, spectacular performances and awesome accomplishments of what you have become? Why don’t you come close to me and together let us cherish the fond memories we had, the dreams we conceived, the aspirations we set and to talk about what and who you are now and beyond with me in your hearts.
Do you still remember those times you were on the bosom of your beloved institution, which you considered as your home next to your homes with you own families? Do you still recall those sunny days you have to perspire as students whenever you sweat now at your particular job or work? Do you still feel alive with the cool fine weather as you do laboratory in different subject areas to mould you in the dimensions of a wholesome person with your surrogate parents – your mentors, alive and gone?
Yes, you do have your own share of smiles and frowns, gains and pains, mirth and madness, joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, triumphs and tribulations, victories and vanities, certainties and surprises, be it winnings or losing, through thick and thin, YOU
MADE IT! You may have been silent or aloud in your journey at the portals of your own school yet through your persistence and perseverance, faith in God and to yourself, you found yourself standing tall and proud of your identity, your mark, your name as loyal graduates - now as alumni of such a prestigious academic community.
Indeed, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. And, now is the time to keep the zeal of such pledge to your ALMA MATER, a time to reckon what and who have you become in living, loving and learning as a genuine product of such our school, your school. It can be a time of grand celebration, of dancing, rejoicing, building new commitments and bridges towards Service at best for God and for humanity. Come, bring with your consecrated heart the best of your fruits in your reaps and share the glory and honor to me, your ALMA MATER. Your becoming WHOLE and the BEST is my own becoming. The oneness of heart leads to the Wingate of realizing all aspirations or our beloved CAGAYAN STATE UNIVERSITY, NOW.!!!. Come with GOD and in unity for every GOOD PURPOSE, everything is possible; NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
I EAGERLY AWAIT YOUR COMING HOME MY DEAREST SONS AND DAUGHTERS. I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED BY THE THOUGHT THAT ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN UNDER MY WINGS JUST AS THE MOTHER HEN PROTECTED HER OFFSPRINGS, I COULD ONCE MORE EMBRACE YOU AND BECOME REUNITED AND RENEW OUR RIGHT RELATIONSHIP AS ONE BIG, BIG, BIG HAPPY FAMILY.
MISSING YOU AND LOVING YOU FOREVER,
YOUR ALMA MATER
