Excerpts from Our Valedictorian’s speech:
After four years of hard work, patience, and
determination, the moment we’ve all been
waiting for has now arrived…
First of all, I would like to show my highest
gratitude to our dear Lord for giving me this
life and talent, who’s always been the source of
everything. Though trials may come, He
helped me overcome my fears and weaknesses.
He’s the great One who made all these dreams
become a reality... I will never forget the
principles that this school has taught me.
From the inspiring principles on our PACEs to
the uplifting CLT devotions, this school has
shaped my spirituality a lot. One principle
that I would never forget is that “If you would
be an achiever, you must first be a believer.”
ASA Top Three Graduates: Mr. Medina and daughter
Adrianne, Pastor Ramos and daughter, Abigail; Reishalen
(Valedictorian) and Mrs. Bulaclac.
Now let me take this opportunity to thank all the people who had been instrumental in my becoming a better
person. To my teachers, I am so grateful for your shared knowledge and patience that helped me be aware of
what is happening, not just inside the four walls of the classroom, but more of what is in the real world... I
have learned a lot from you. And, because of your patience and education,... Now I am going to face a great
challenge , but you prepared me and my classmates to face it. Our dearest Pastors, thank you for the
inspiring messages every morning during devotions and chapel day. It really helped us to build our character
and develop our spirituality... You reminded us that there is a God who is willing to help us, forgive us, as
well as protect us. To our God’s great missionaries, thank you for everything. Without your hard work, this
school wouldn’t be as successful as it is today. Thank you for giving unfortunate students a chance to study
in a private ACE school. Thank you for the contributions that established this school. God bless you more.
To my sponsors, I want to express my deepest gratitude for their all-out support. They really are God’s
blessing to me and my family. To my every-loving parents, thank you for understanding my short-comings
and training me...although we’re not rich, you gave me enough opportunities, thank you for providing the
best for me.
...And finally, new doors full of trials, hardships and more challenges are awaiting for the graduating senior
of ASA. I do hope that we will still be recognized as one of ASA’s outstanding graduates. The memories we
shared with each other are enough to keep life going. Seniors, don’t forget your Alma Matter and the Great
One who made all these come into place. Be proud that you are an ASA Graduate.

Welcome New Sponsors!
We are blessed to welcome “on board” about 20
“Education is the key to success” but what is education? new sponsors this quarter! We pray that God will
if there were no parents, who are my very first teacher, richly bless you and meet every need as you
without teachers to guide me in school, without sacrifice to bless others.
classmates to teach me the values of friendship, without
pastors to teach me the way of the Lord and without God
who has made all these possible. Without any of these,
education is not complete and true success could not be
achieved.
My journey has just began, and God being my
ultimate teacher, I have no doubt that the road ahead of me
is paved with so much love and care. I thank you all! and to
God be the glory!
Congratulations to our College Graduates!
The following students were being sponsored through our SEED College Program and
have now completed their courses. If you were sponsoring one of these, we THANK

POSSIBLE! Congratulations to Sponsors and Students alike! Also, if your student is
listed here, we do need to hear from you about future sponsorship. We have lots of
students to replace them, if that is your desire. Please let us hear from you. You can

Current Needs for Sponsorship
Pastor Noel Alberto has submitted some urgent needs for
sponsorship. They are shown below with the photos. Also, in the list
are the students who are still in need of sponsorship. Many of these
were sponsored, but the sponsor was unable to continue. Please pray
for these needs to be met and if you know of anyone that might be
interested in making a
difference in one child’s life
in the Philippines — let
them know about the SEED
Program! Also, the need for
donations to the General
Fund of the school are
greatly appreciated. There
was approximately $7500.00
in unpaid support during
the school year 2009-2010.

SEED Student Alcar Gurieza shares the
Good News while traveling on the bus to
Manila. Alcar and Elijah John Reyes spent
the day with Pastor Noel preaching on the
bus, in the market and the streets of Manila.
Both of these young men plan to pursue
Bachelor of Theology Degrees at the
Philippine Missionary Institute.
ASA Building Needs
Our school is on it’s summer break for
a few months and that means it time
for building repairs! There is a need
for about $2000.00 to cover these
repairs and upgrades. Please pray for
this need and any help is greatly
appreciated!
