Harvent School students told not to be ordinary
LINGAYEN–Become aristocrats, not ordinary.
This was the parting words of Margarita Hamada, founder/directress of Harvent School, to the students during their joint Achievers’ Day on April 2 at the Sison Auditorium.
The guest speaker was Ms. Ariana Henares, great granddaughter of the late Pangasinan Governor Daniel Maramba.
“To be ordinary is not just a tragic misfortune but a crime against your good selves whom I have given the foundation to become aristocrats,” she said.
Being aristocrats, she continued, means helping transform the world into “heaven on earth”.
She described aristocrats as those who “never stop developing themselves fully and well, even after they get a college degree. They leave their university’s professors to embrace the best educators found only outside formal classrooms, namely hobbies, travel and adventure, movies and documentaries, odd jobs, odd personalities, kindred spirits, life’s many challenges, and always, books, books, books,” she stressed.
Aristocrats, she said “read, and they read a lot…because they understand what they read. And they read not just to learn, but also to unlearn,” Hamada said.
“Aristocrats are therefore Mother Earth’s greatest treasures and safe-keepers,” she concluded.
