A diploma is not just a piece of paper but a key to doors of opportunities.

Today is the day that you have been waiting for.  Today you reap the fruits of your hard labor; the reward of several years of burning the midnight oil.

 

I want you to savor this day.  Be happy.  Celebrate with your family and friends for you deserved it.

 

Don’t forget to thank everyone who helped you reached this day.  Thank your parents for their undying support to you.  Thank your teachers for their patience and dedication in teaching you everything you needed to learn.  Thank your classmates for always being there and for sharing in all your school’s tasks and events.  Take a good look at each of them for many of them you will not see for a long long time, and some you may not have the chance to meet again for each one of you will go on their separate ways.  Okay, a few will get in touch with you for a lifetime.   But no matter what happens remember most of all to thank God for making all of these possible.

 

However, bear in mind that after graduation is not a time to relax rather it is the time for preparation and soul searching.  For graduation is not the end of a book, but just finishing a chapter.  You have to enter another episode, another exciting and much more challenging phase.  Be therefore strong and always strive for perfection.

 

But for today, throw all your graduation caps in the air and just smile, enjoy and celebrate.

 

Happy Graduation Day to all.

    Gradutation is the most significant moment in our lives that calls for rejoicing for at least our hard labors and our parents’ efforts for the past years have become fruitful.
