It is my pleasure to congratulate Fr. Juan, Principal Nakamura, the teachers and the staff for the dedication and commitment to the formation and the guidance given to the students enrolled at Aiko School. I wish you wisdom and health to continue serving the students so that they may become successful in their own professional field and be able to enroll in the university of their choice.

I wish to congratulate the students for your wonderful work and exemplary dedication to your studies and formation. You deserve all the credits and I hope that your parents are proud of your achievements and delighted with your present and future success.

Aiko School is committed to the highest standards of education. To achieve the goal that the administration, teachers, family and students have in mind is a difficult mission, thus you need to work together to impart the sound and qualified education demanded by the Japanese contemporary competitive and industrialized society.

We join you in thanking your parents for the opportunity and privilege they have offered to you and for the trust, they have deposited in Aiko School to educate you. Adolescents need active and courageous parenting more than any previous age. I encourage, teachers and administration, to remain profoundly interested in the best possible education of these students by engaging actively with their learning and remaining firm in guiding them towards those ethical values that distinguish a true Aiko graduate.

Thanks to you, the teaching staff. Like any manufacturing company, behind the scene, there is a huge ongoing effort to prepare and deliver each lesson. Our students have been blessed by having such wonderful teachers and administration thinking and planning the best for them.

If there is one piece of advice, I could share with you today I would say: prepare, work hard and take care of your future.  To build your future is a slow process, but it can be lost in a moment. I, therefore, urge you to be constantly aware of your own dignity and precious individuality. Do not easily give away what you will never get back. The quality of your education is one of your most prized possession. It will open many doors as long as you remain enrolled at Aiko School and beyond. However, you must assume the first responsibility in the task of your education with the help of your teachers and family.
