VIRAL: What Sounded Like A Rap Song Turned Out To Be A MeaningfulGraduation Speech
Most graduation pieces are said nice and clean. Powerful but not vulgar, does not reveal the bad sides of your journey in education and the path you are going to take. Someone steps up and changes the game.
His name is Carlo Eugene Manalo, a former mediocre student who has found his passion in computer programming and is now a successful Software Engineer in a prestigious international company. According to his speech, he was a scholar during high school and he graduated college with help from his aunt. In the past, many have belittled him saying he couldn't last a week in college, and that there's no future in computer science, but he proved them all wrong.
Now, in his current job, he remains humble, fun, fearless, competent and keeps his friends close.
As his success reaches the doors of his alma-mater, he was invited by his former teachers to join them as a guest speaker on their 73rd Palatuntunang Pagtatapos in Alaminos, Laguna.
On March 26th, he gave the graduates a speech they will never forget. A different take on sending the message to the youth.
We don't have the video but we got hold of a copy of the script. It's a very long piece, and you might want to grab a coffee while reading, but he did made a lot of interesting points with humor you did not expect to hear from a graduation speech. He stresses points about how life is going to be unfair and you should just accept it, asks questions about why "Congratulations" is what we always say in graduations, and what you really do need to learn in school.
