Ako si Zachayoona Axon daughter of Mrs.Yoona Stevenson Axon and Mr.Zachary Chen Axon at ito ang aking Storya. “I am now calling Ms. Zachayoona Axon for her special speech, she is our Magna cumlaude this year, batch 2011-2012.” rinig ko agad ang sinabing iyon ni Ms.Clay. Sya ang Dean namin sa Unibersidad na pinapasokan ko,ang Xayjan University,special ang araw na ito sa akin dahil ngayon Ang graduation ng lahat ng studyante na nabibilang sa kolehiyo,ito na ang huling tongtong ko dito bilang isang 4th year college. “keep up the good work anak, we're so proud of having a daughter like you.”isang malapad na ngiti ang pinakawalan ni mommy ng sabihin nya iyon sa akin,habang si daddy ay tumango sa sinabi nito. “congrats Noona.”aniya ni Zachayoon at nginitian ako na agad ko namang ginantihan. “thankyousomuch,much appreciated!”ngiting aniya ko sa kanila pagkatapos ay bumeso dito. “sige na pumunta kana dun at hinihintay ng lahat ang sasabihin mo.”saad ni dad na ikinatango ko,kumaway pa ako sa kanila bago maglakad patungo sa stage. Malapad ang ngiti ko dahil maski ako ay proud sa sarili ko,ilang years na lng magiging isang Doctor na ako! Gusto kong sumunod sa yapak ng Ina ko si Dra.Yoona at gusto ko makatagpo ng isang lalakeng katulad ni Dad,dahil hinahangaan ko ang storya ng pagiibigan nila. “I AM HERE BECAUSE I AM THE BEST. Now, before any of you say that I am a self-absorbed, egotistic, or arrogant being, let me ask you a question: what does it mean to be the best? If we are going to define the said word according to the standards of our society, the best may mean the most intelligent, the most talented in any given skill, the most gifted of all, or simply the one who has all that he needs and is greater than anyone else.However, that is not how I see it.Growing up, believe me, that is exactly how I grasped the concept. The more medals you get means you’re the smartest. The more trophies you received, the better. And the higher your grades, the better you are as a person as compared to others.Yet it made me realize that this belief only placed a false sense of security over an individual and an even greater risk of self-doubt in the coming years. We were taught that to be the best means to be the greatest among others. But I disagree. It is my strongest conviction that striving to be the best is not about a life of constantly beating or competing with other people so that you can be at the top, rather, it is conquering a greater enemy other than the people around you – and that person is you.We have no greater adversary than ourselves. And like a brave soldier in an epic battle, I believe that one of the highest and utmost purposes in our lives is to defeat and conquer the rival, the opponent which we see every time we look in front of the mirror. My fellow graduates, never stop growing. Never stop pushing yourself. Never be  afraid to try new things. And let us remember, that we can do all things armed by our faith which makes us stronger.Going back to my introduction, I said that I am here because I am the best. I am not talking about being here in front you as I deliver this message nor about being here as someone who received the highest academic honor. Truth be told, I never expected myself to be in this position. Still, I believe that it happened for a reason. I am here because I overcame myself. And I am glad to say, that you did too, my fellow graduates. You are here because you are the best – the best version of yourself and no one else. And for that, a job well done! You may not be the best in your class, the most talented musician, or even the best athlete but you can still be the best version of yourself that you or anyone have ever seen. Grades are but a number and medals and trophies fade over time, but the fulfillment of outdoing yourself is something that even the highest honor or recognition could never match.And remember, that our journey to become the best is never a solitary one. There are people who are vital in our lives who helped us become the person we are today. Of course, our parents who have toiled night and day to send us to a good school and who placed us first before themselves.Mama, Papa, I appreciate you for being there from the start. I may not be expressive as regards my gratitude, but God knows how I am grateful for all the sacrifices you have made. I love you very much.To our Dean, Ms.Clay Donato thank you for pushing us and giving opportunities that we never expected. We went through a lot and I am grateful for all that you have done for us. The same goes to all of the members of the faculty who have nurtured us from the beginning until the very last day of our classes; who have instilled the 5 C’s in all us – Character, Competence, Creativity, Collaboration, and Commitment to Achieve.”lintanya ko,lahat ng sinabi ko ay nanggaling mismo sa puso ko. Hindi ko akalaing sa paglipas ng mga panahon ay magagawa ko ang lahat ng ito,magsisimula na ako sa bagong yugto ng buhay ko,Godbless to my own journey,na eexcite ako sa pagaaral ko ng medisina,hnd na ako makapaghintay,I want to add Dra.in my name. “very well said Ms.Zachayoona! we did not make a mistake in choosing you as Magna Cumlaude of this University, thank you dahil ibinahagi mo sa aming lahat ang napakagandang speech na meron ka, thankyousomuch sa lahat ng ginawa mo para school na ito.”napatango at ngumiti ng malapad. Pakiramdam ko ay aabot hanggang tenga ang ngiti ko ngayon,napatingin ako sa gawi nila mom and dad, nararamdaman ko ang paghanga nila sa akin dahil sa mga achievements ko,maging ang kapatid ko ay ganun rin ang ipinapakita at nararamdaman ko. Kinuha ako ang nakabalot sa ulo ko, pagkatapos ay itinapon ito paitaas kasabay ng ibang mga studyante,napuno ng tawanan ang buong University at ramdam naming lahat ang saya at full of happiness ang mga studyante't mga magulang na makikita ko ngayon, nagdesisyon akong bumaba ng stage at patakbong pumunta sa gawi ng pamilya ko,nakita ko agad ang nakangiting si lolo Brix,kaya naman sa kanya agad ang tungo ko at niyakap ito ng mahigpit. “lolo unti na lang matutupad ko na ang pangarap na gusto ko.”naluluhang aniya ko habang nakayakap dito. “you did well apo,I'm always here to support you,kayong dalawa ni Zachayoon,ni minsan ay hindi niyo ako binigyan ng sakit ng ulo,I'm so proud of you two, iloveyou.”at sa pagkakataong iyon ay tumulo na ng sunod sunod ang luha ko. “iloveyoumost Lolo!”aniya ko at napasinghot,rinig ko ang mahinang tawa nila. “okay2,that's enough! Umuwi na tayo at mag celebrate,pumapanget ka noona pag umiiyak.”napakalas ako sa pagkakayakap at nginusuan ang kapatid ko. “hnd ko gustong umiiyak ka noona.”seryosong saad nito kaya naman napangiti ako. Siguro Kong pamilya ang paguusapan masasabi kong meron akong masaya at perpektong pamilya,ang gandang ambag sa lipunan nun hindi ba. Nagpaalam na kami sa lahat at maging sa mga kaibigan ko,then nagtungo na sa sasakyan at sumakay na. Nagsimula ng umandar ang mga sasakyan na sinakyan namin patungo sa mansyon. Nang makarating ay bumaba na kami agad. Pagkapasok pa lng namin ay halos mapatalon ako,isang party ang bumungad saming lahat at nakita ko ang napakalaking tarpoline habang nakalagay dito ang picture ko,napakaraming tao at lahat ng iyon ay konektado sa pamilya ko,maging ang mga kaibigan ni mom and dad ay nandito. Isa isa nila akong binati at bumeso na rin sa kanila bilang ganti,lahat ng tao dito ngayon ay masasabi kong proud sa akin,ngunit napahinto ako,nang may mapansin ako. Lahat ay nagsasaya at naguusap usap,ang ilan ay rinig kong pinaguusapan ako,ngunit nakatuon ang paningin ko sa lalakeng nakaupo malapit sa wine room,hawak nito ang isang glass of wine at sa kabila ng kamay nya ay sa tingin ko cellphone nya. Ang gwapo nya! halos may perfect shape sya ng mukha,thick eyebrow,orange lips, pointed nose,clear skin at higit sa lahat matangkad at ang sexy ng pangangatawan nya! Wait what?! Ano sa tingin mo ang mga iniisip mo Zachayoona!! “Ye-joon!”napaiwas ako ng tingin ng magtama ang mga paningin namin,kita ko ang paglapit ng isang babae dito at kung hindi ako nagkakamali si tita Louxieriegn ito. “ne?”aniya. korean language ang gamit nya? Sino sya? “Zachayoona!”napataas ang dalawang kilay ko ng tawagin ako ni tita Louxieriegn. “bakit po?”magalang na aniya ko,sinenyasan ako nitong lumapit sa kanila kaya naman gaya ng sabi nya ay lumapit nga ako. “this is Ye-joon my older son.”ngiting aniya nito na medyo ikinagulat ko. Son? Wtf?! Bakit hnd ko nakilala?! Sa bagay hnd kami ganon ka close nung mga bata pa kami dahil sa Korea sya lumaki kasama ang tatay nya at kung meron akong na close sa kanila ay ung dalawang kapatid nya sa pagkakatanda ko triplets sila. “ahh i remember,nice to see u again.”aniya ko at ngitian ito. Tumango naman Ito at ngumiti ng tipid. “yeah,congrats.”aniya nya na ikinatango ko at nginitian lamang ito ngunit tipid din. Halatang ang attitude nya,gwapo sana. “ah sige maiwan ko muna kayo, puntahan ko lg ulit mommy mo iha.”napatango ako sa sinabi ni tita kaya naman umalis na it0. “ahh akyat muna ako.”nakaramdam ako ng hiya kaya naman nasabi ko iyon,hindi ksi ako tipo ng taong magtatagal na kaharap ang isang tao kung hnd naman medyo masalita,nahihiya ako. “okay.”aniya,tumango ako at nilagpasan na sya,napailing iling ako. Malaki ang pinagbago nya,ilang taon ang nakakalipas,sa bagay people change.
