Ref ret that our various ways will ,go in different directions 'ind perhaps lead us far apart' pleasure in seeing, you step out into life ready and unafraid. For all of you the door is opening to the world which will be yours. The world you meet, was not made by you' you will have to take it as it is. What you find in it 'ind what you make of it will depend on you. Opportunities were never more abundant I hope you will find them and not pass them by. Make the most of them-only you can do this for you. Difficulties and obstacles are also plentiful. Some will discourage you most of them will challenge you to meet them and vo on in spite of them. Even mistakes can be used as opportunities to try again wiser than before. Even thouf h you have completed twelve years of schooling. your real education is only just beginning. May you le ilways curious never satisfied' forever reaching, never fully attaining' content only with your best. Don t ever stop learning! This is my wish for you.
