Good morning respected principal, Father John, t each(prenominal)ers and in completely the students present here. I am truly grateful to Father Ajit Kumar Xess for mentation me worthy of addressing this august gathering. Let me begin by congratulating all of you at the golden Jubilee of your school and also wishing each and e very(prenominal) integrity of u a very Happy Independence Day. For over half(a) a century our nation has sprung, stumbled, run, followed, rolled over, gotten up and dusted her self. As students, we essential always be reminded of this constant perseverance that has always been the backbone of winner of our nation straightaway.We live in a boorish whose faith in success is far greater than her fear of failure. We no biger ostracise foreign goods but buy the companies that produce them instead. At this juncture we moldiness(prenominal) also sound off of our independence fighters who laid d receive their lives for our countrys independence. When they began with their struggle, they were young, just akin you and me. Their struggle, dedication and unrelenting zeal transformed us into a free nation. They dreamt big, stayed focused, and fought against all odds to achieve their goal.As we stand here, at the threshold of a new phase in our lives, we must assume valuable lessons from them and incorporated these into our lives. We must also think of the India today and comparison it with the India that the people who fought for our independence, had in their minds. They fought for a free country where everyone would be regarded as equal, every Indian would have equal opportunities. precisely the India that we bring down today is not quite as it was imagined to be. We still have a long way to go.Even though, as Indians, we have a lot to be grand of we argon the citizens of a country which has exitn drive home to scholars like Rabindranath Tagore, Amartya Sen, Scientists like Jagdish Chandra Bose, C. V. Ra earthly concern, vision aries like Mahatma Gandhi and Sportspersons like Kapil Dev, Saina Nehwal, who have represented our country and brought respect to our nation, worldwide. We must draw inspiration from these extraordinary Indians and do something which will not wholly benefit us, but will also make our fellow Indians proud.In nigh an years time, most of you will be enrolled in engineering colleges, or medical colleges, or might as well go abroad for further studies. Let the thought of the Indian exemption fighters, scholars and scientist make you tally for the stars. At the same time, dont forget your m oppositeland. We be heretofore to achieve a free and fair India. We have the third largest kitten of doctors, engineers and scientists. Yet, 25 % of our population is illiterate. That is 300,000,000 (a huge chunk of the population) people who cannot read or write. We are ranked the 2nd largest country in the world execrable from mal nutrition. 5 million people are suffering from AIDs. There ex ists a huge tell apart between one India and another India. One India recites give me a chance and Ill grow myself, to the other India, we say prove yourself first and then u will have your chance. One India wants, the other India hopes one India pass alongs and the other India follows. Our responsibility as citizens of this country is to converge this divide and forge one India and thereby create a country that our freedom fighters envisaged. Do not let whatsoeverthing stop you from realising your potential.I would to leave you to mull over the following tidingss given by the father of our nation I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man woman whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him her. willing he she gain anything by it? Will it restore him her to a control over his her own life and dowry? In other words, will it lead to swaraj freedom for the hungry and spiritually sharp-set millions? Then you will find your doubts and yourself melt away.Independence Day rowFilipinos are worth dying for. this is the famous line of the late senator Noynoy Aquino. by chance our fellow Filipino who fought for the freedom of the Filipinos from the invaders of our country will also go over with what Noynoy Aquino has said. An Independence Day is an annual celebration commemorating the anniversary of a nations assumption of independent statehood, usually after ceasing to be a colony or part of another state, more rarely after the end of a military occupation. Most countries honor their various(prenominal) independence day as a issue holiday and some countries or nations independence-date honors are contested.Independence Day is the day to commemorate all the works of certain people or individuals who contributed much for the liberty of their country. more that celebrat ing the freedom of the country from slavery, dictatorship and tyrant rule, it is also the day to make out all the sufferings and hardships of these people we called heroes. We recognize their bravery and thank them for all the things they contributed for the freedom of their country and countrymen. June 12, 1898, is a glorious date in the history of the Filipino people. On this day, President Emilio F. Aguinaldo proclaimed the freedom of the Filipino people.The Philippine national flag was hoisted and the countrys national anthem was played. President Aguinaldos proclamation of Philippine Independence not only heralded the birth of a new nation. It also brought glad tidings to the colonial subjects of Asia. It godly the colonial subjects to struggle to be free. May I ask you this, if our heroes who fought for the freedom can see the current emplacement of our country today, do you think they will be happy? Do think they will be glad that they sacrifice they lives for the sake of our country? . But if you have notice, and ground on my opinion some Filipinos doesnt even know the word peace now.Yes its true that we are now free from any invaders and free from the colonization of other country but in our own native land there is still war, a war against each Filipinos who doesnt know how to mingle with other Filipinos.. And as we all see our country is currently facing an extreme poverty. There is a very high rate of unemployed Filipinos. There are many another(prenominal) Filipinos who are hardly to eat 3 times a day. The continuous rock oil price hike which has been affecting the prices of all products in the market and constancy that also making our life harder. And the continuous growth of population which is caused of unemployment. deal often say that education will be your key to success. But how will you be successful if unemployment is a big problem in our society today. Newly graduates are having a hard time seeking for a job suitable to their take n profession thats wherefore sometimes they have no choice but to work in a job that is not related to their course only to say that they are employed. We are aware that our native land was blessed with many tourist destination and tourism brought us big contribution in the progression of our country. But what had happened lately at Quirino Grandstand has changed everything.We are having a hard time convincing tourist to visit our country because of that tragedy. And this abnormal our country so much. And the never ending issue of terrorism in Mindanao that is always been a subject in peace and order in our country. There is so called government in such country to lead the nation. But whats happening on our country today is a lot far from this. Our government itself is the one who is putt our economy status miserable because of the word corruption. Instead of handling the nations fund wisely, they are putting it on their personal interest thats why no projects were been successful ly founded.Yes we are free, free from the manipulation of other country ,but in our country I can say that we are definitely not free. Because we are chained into these different problems. It seems like we are in a struggle towards our country problems for us to be totally called free. If only everyone of us were doing our duties and responsibilities as a responsible citizen of our country, and if everything were all in places, can you imagine how fine our country is? And through this everyone of us can proudly say that Filipinos are really worth dying for
