Assumption College of Davao formerly Assumption School of Davao (ASD) held its 2018 Grand Annual Alumni Homecoming dubbed as "Assumptionista: Rock N' LOL (Live Our Legacy)". The reunion was held at SMX Convention Center, SM Lanang Premier, Davao City, last December 7, 2018.
Hosted by the Silver Jubilarian Batch 93 together with the Honoree Batch - the Golden Jubilarian Batch 1968.
The homecoming was attended by graduates from 1961 until 2017, former and present administrators and teachers, and the Missionaries of the Assumption.
The Pre-program starts with a dinner with live musical entertainment from ACD Batch 1996 Band, JR Solis song rendition (ACD Grade 6 Kapayapaan) and SPMC Chorale. Followed by a moment of silence for departed alumni, remembering those classmates who are no longer with us.
One of the highlights of the program is the singing of the school hymn - ONWARD, ONWARD ASSUMPTION, which make the event more festive and alive. The alumni attendees are very happy to sing the Assumption Hymn again.
Included in the highlights of the event was the ACD Batch 93 Production Number with the ALTA DANCE ENSEMBLE together with the first runner-up of Asia's Got Talent season 2 DMX Comvaleñoz.

PERSONAL THOUGHTS: Rock N' LOL (LIVE OUR LEGACY)
We have all heard so much about legacy. When you think about legacy you feel a lot happier and resolve. The more I think about it the more I understood that while leaving a legacy is important it is not as important as living your legacy. Correct me here, I prefer that people will talk about me in the way I want to be known when I am alive. I think this is more exciting than thinking of what people will say when I'm no longer alive.
To Live Our Legacy is to LOVE OUR LIFE. We have so many options in life that we have to choose the way we want to. When we appreciate life we will manage ourselves better. It's like loving our life and setting a big goals to make the most of the limited time we have here on earth. So we must appreciate LIFE and LOVE life vice versa. In that our LEGACY will have a great impact that something to be appreciated and cherished.
Get EXCITED about your life. Once you love your life, be enthusiastic. Think of the opportunities ahead and experience this world as it is. Make yourself the so-called PROJECT HAPPINESS. A relationship that planted with trust even if we experience the ups and down, in spite of the obstacles each one of us is facing still we need to see beauty that life has to offer.
Your CHARACTER & ATTITUDE towards everything in life play a greater role going forward and onward. Keep looking for a brighter side. The character and attitude will be reflected in the way other people treat you. If you are positive it will attract abundance and joy. And if you are grateful about your life you will experience joy. Why am I linking LEGACY here? Because unless you feel happiness it doesn't matter how much outer success you will have because you will never enjoy it. What I mean here is that, savor the small moments and revere life -BE GRATEFUL!
To LIVE OUR LEGACY is to INSPIRE OTHERS. Be always a good role model, always be a lookout to set great example that will help inspires everyone around you. Inspiring others to achieve also their goals will help you leave a LASTING LEGACY.
There you have it on how you can LIVE OUR LEGACY now. Living your legacy will ensure you leave a lasting legacy.
