College
is fundamentally difficult, but the struggle is all worth it. It is like going
to a war, the kind of war that mainly challenges the insubstantial power of
thought, gradually filling the missing fractions of human knowledge. We are given
a choice of whether we want to stay and fight courageously to win or to decide
for an ultimate surrender. To triumph promises a glorious endpoint after the
struggle; but to fail means and endless fall to an abyss of ignorance. They say
it’s anything but ordinary. But for us, it is a memory we will always keep. It is
a flashback in which the graduates will realize their true capabilities. It is
the yardstick to judge their growth by. It is a life, a mirror, a new door.
Graduation
is just a new door that was opened for us to begin ding responsibilities with
discipline and dedication in order to reach the goal of success. Not to mention
the gratifying feeling of self fulfilment as we find ourselves rich with experiences
and knowledge. Victory comes like a sweet kiss of a morning drizzle. There are
countless factors that make on successful, someday we would find ourselves open
to wide range of opportunities like excellent job offers or we may even own a business
or a professional practice that would make us famous. We have been trained and
prepared with the knowledge and skills necessary for us to take part in the
quest for better life, all we just have to do is to make a little sacrifice for
a lifetime of rewards. Like me, no one in this world wants to live in a
mediocre kind of life. Everyone, of course, desires money, fame and respect. This
is the time in our life that we start to assume adult responsibilities.
We
will shift to another paradigm, things have changed and civilizations have
evolved. It is not anymore a question of whether one has a degree or not. It is
now a question of what we learned; this learning will take the driver’s seat
and the steering wheel. It is ready to take us to a joyride of new discoveries,
a broader horizon of challenges to test the strength of our desire to pursue
better life. Aim high and be confident and have self reliance in doing it, and
couple it with interest and strong determination because we will be facing
another challenging chapter of our life. For sure, we will be entering into
another world of problems, but also a world of many challenges and
opportunities that will make our life worth living. May our degree unlock many
doors to well deserve success, to happy ending and new beginnings.
Just
keep in mind that whatever happen walk into the new door with a proud face. God
bless guys and be the pride of our Alma Mater.
