Ambitious United Responsive Individuals of the University of Mindanao
The Ambitious United Responsive Individuals of the University of Mindanao's (AURIUM) 2024 visualize creating a yearbook edition that stands as a timeless masterpiece. With each edition, they collectively strive to make every year outstanding, honoring and celebrating the graduating class from UM Tagum College.
Exemplifying this vision, AURIUM firmly demonstrates its commitment to quality service. Upholding the benchmark of excellence for which the university is renowned, this dedication will serve as a compass, guiding the framework within which every yearbook is crafted.
Our yearbook’s Vintage theme is a tribute to the timelessness of memories, where each moment is preserved like a cherished relic of the past. Much like vintage pieces that grow more meaningful with time, our experiences, both the highs and the lows, gain depth as we reflect on them. Vintage symbolizes the beauty of nostalgia, the appreciation of the old, and the significance of the path we've walked together.
The Oscars represent timeless excellence, honoring stories that resonate across generations, much like our own experiences captured in the yearbook. The Oscars remind us that even as trends change, the core values of dedication, artistry, and passion remain constant. Every Oscar-winning film leaves a piece of history behind, showing us that greatness is not just about the present but about creating a lasting legacy.
This yearbook takes on the dazzling allure of the Oscars, where each of us shines like a star on the grandest stage of our lives. But beyond the glamour and glitz, the Oscars theme represents the recognition of hard work, the quiet dedication behind the scenes, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Just like in the world of film, our time in school has been a masterpiece in the making—full of unforgettable moments, plot twists, and growth.
The Sablay signifies more than just a graduation garment; it symbolizes a journey woven with perseverance, setbacks, and triumphs. Draping the Sablay over the shoulders embodies the collective strength gained from overcoming every hurdle. It stands as a testament to moments of uncertainty, nights spent in solitude with only dreams as companions, and the silent courage that carried one through.
AURIUM Yearbook | Batch 2024’s Valedictorian Speech
To my fellow graduates, remember this: there will be times when you doubt yourself and when success feels unreachable. But listen to those who believe in you—they see something in you that you may not see in yourself."
In an emotional and powerful speech, Sophia Ann Marie Lantaco, the batch 2024 valedictorian, delivered a message of hope, perseverance, and self-belief to her fellow graduates during the commencement ceremony.
Lantaco, who stood proudly as the top student of her batch, shared her thoughts on overcoming doubt and the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive individuals. Her message of "padayon" or "continuing on" in the face of doubt and adversity struck a chord with many, serving as a reminder that the journey to success is often challenging but not insurmountable.
As the graduates move forward into the next chapter of their lives, Lantaco’s words will undoubtedly serve as a guiding light, encouraging them to continue pursuing their dreams despite any obstacles they may face.
