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.

It would be awesome if you can try this Legendary Slip N Fly this summer, an action sports camp in Butler, Ohio that features this monstrous, lubricated ramp.  Unfortunately, it only opens in public one weekend each year at the end of August.

But don't be sad as it is open for rentals.

According to ohiodreams website,
The Slip N Fly is avaible for daily rentals on weekend days only in September.  The rental fee is $5,000 for a 10am - 10pm time block with a maximum number of 100 guests.

Renters must provide their own event/party supplies, food and drinks as all we rent is our pool and slide.

Rental days must be filled in order of available days.

Be sure to check that video below.

She stated, "I like the fact that when you came into the stage, you're all shy. And then the music started. And then, you danced and you were powerful, you were fierce. And then the music changed, then you became something else. And then it was funny and it was sweet and cute. And there was a lot of things and I loved it so much!"
