Recognition

We are delighted about our loved ones being acknowledged. As we experience both joy and suffering together, when they succeed, we are delighted for them, and when they are down or unhappy, we are sorry as well. The emotion is understandable given that who they are and who they become in some way reflect us.

This is especially true to our beloved Raye Kalayaan Rabago Fuentes, whose development we have watched, who is now a young man and has received recognition from his institution for being a dean's lister. He has always known that we are proud of him, no matter what accomplishments he has, no matter how big or small. What we have accomplished thus far as parents has never put any pressure on him. Our role, as parents, is to provide good values, love, spiritual, and moral and financial support.

In school, it is only natural for students to continue working hard and giving their all in the classroom when they receive encouraging remarks and are recognized for a job well done. Students’ motivation and passion for their academic performance, as well as their overall perspective on school, are greatly improved by even the smallest act of positive student acknowledgment.

According to research, praise for one's efforts is more valuable than cash. Imagine the enormous repercussions on a regular student who receives praise for merely doing their best; a rise in self-assurance, a feeling of accomplishment, and respect among peers. Such a sense of success may last throughout their life and eventually enhance the state of the world.

In our culture, it is usual to praise those who have excelled academically, such as the valedictorian, class president, honor student, or spelling bee champion. Sadly, the vast majority of diligent, well-mannered, and hard-working students are ignored.

All types of students should be acknowledged through recognition programs, especially those who might not typically be recognized for their contributions. Students may be honored for a variety of achievements, such as an improvement in their academic standing, a demonstration of their passion of learning, or for having displayed outstanding conduct and attitude. Some people will set the example, while others will be motivated to learn despite the challenges. The myriad ways that children should be acknowledged would delight school leaders.

In same vein, academic awards were developed with the goal that they would produce memorable moments of recognition that would encourage others and reinforce the actions that earned the reward. Numerous opportunities exist in the academic setting to recognize students for their efforts, successes, and contributions to the school and community.

In a student's life, praises and awards are crucial. Recognizing a student's accomplishments is essential, much like disciplining and correcting them for their mistakes. Students are greatly motivated to work even harder and honestly when they receive even a small amount of praise. Students are made to stand out when they receive prizes and diplomas, which further inspires them and draws in other students to study harder.

The results of everyone's labor this year are now being reaped by the award recipients. Their parents are truly proud of their successes. They set an example for others to follow. May they constantly exhibit the qualities of tenacity and diligence, for gold is given to those who strive the hardest.
