TO THE GRADUATES From the Desk of Sr. Mary Faith Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Class of 1981, 1 remember very well your class as you were in September, 1977; and it’s amazing to see the changes that have taken place in you during your time here. Not one of you is the same person you were then. You have grown physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. Your relationships with each other and with God have deepened. Although these growing years have not brought you to perfection, each stage of growth brings more answers — and new questions. The answers you have already received have helped. You have learned that you can both give and receive help, so that each of you may understand to the fullest what you need to do to become good people. The time has come to look at some implications of this learning. To do this you have to ask some more questions. You might begin with such questions as these: Who am 1 to myself? What do I owe myself? What am I doing with what has is happening to me? Do I recognize my personal responsibility for the nourishment and growth of that most important part of me — the part nobody else can be responsible for — my self respect, my sense of dignity, my integrity? 1 suggest that you see your future as a questing one, a searching deep within yourselves, always remembering that you are not alone even there. The Lord in each of you is waiting, and wanting, to be asked to give you the strength and support you need. And now, resolve to look inside yourselves for the answer to a single question: I tow can I better assume personal responsibility for my own actions, take pride in what 1 do, and deepen my determination to become a decent Christian person? Shakespeare gives you a good place to begin your search. Ponder his words as you seek your own ansers. “This above all: to thine own self be true And it must follow as the night the day Thou cans't not then be false to any man.” J yj. j . 22
