Congratulations! Class of 2018. Your achievements are truly remarkable. We thank God for showering you with success and abundant blessings. May God continue to bless you.
You have heard it said…if you see something, say something. I tell you however and challenge you from now on, if you see something, say something and DO SOMETHING. We are past the age and time when we expect only those responsible to be in charge of our safety and security. We are living in a time when, we have to do something and not just see and say.
Being grateful is a virtue. Anyone who appreciates receives more. It only takes a few minutes to say thank you…but those few minutes may make the difference between who gets an award or not. People tend to remember kind words expressed to them. So take a moment to pay your dues to your parents/ guardians and teachers. They have earned it…say thank you to them and pray for them to continue being a blessing to you and others.
It interesting to note, the world expects this and that from each and every one of you. The same world has accustomed us to the way to think, dress, speak and so much. However, I challenge you graduates to take hold of the world. Do not listen to the world, make the world listen to you. Start by knowing yourself and being yourself. Live and act in such a way the world will follow you instead of you following the world. Define thy ways, stand firm in your beliefs and stand your ground. Learn and read widely…there is so much wealth hidden in books.
Let me leave you with these words, even the beggar is human a being…do not lose touch with reality. He or she that wins the entire world and yet loses ones soul, is truly lost. Make time to notice the flowers and smell them to savor the rich fragrances they have…Now is here, enjoy! You have in us two professionals, Dr. Mr. and Dr. Mrs.…if you need educational guidance or career help please feel free to ask. We got your back.
