THIS DIPLOMA SIGNIFIES THE COMPLETION OF TWELVE YEARS OF FORMAL EDUCATION, AND IS A MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN OUR LIVES. SOME OF US WILL NOT RECEIVE FURTHER FORMAL EDUCATION, BUT OTHERS WILL. BUT THIS IS OF RELATIVELY SMALL IMPORT, FOR WE MUST DEAL WITH THAT WHICH HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE. WE HAVE LEARNED MANY THINGS IN THE PAST TWELVE YEARS, BUT THE MOST IM- PORTANT LESSON OF ALL WAS THE FACT THAT ALL TRUE LEARN- ING COMES OF ONE S OWN ACCORD. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE RECOGNIZE THIS FACT, FOR IT CAN WELL BE THE KEY TO OUR FUTURE SUCCESS. LET US ALL STRIVE TO GAIN AS MUCH FORMAL EDUCATION AS POSSIBLE, BUT LET US ALSO STRIVE TO USE OUR MINDS FOR SELF-EDUCATION AT ALL TIMES. IT IS ONLY THROUGH THIS SELF-EDUCATION, WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES, THAT WE CAN GAIN THAT KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS NECESSARY IN ORDER THAT WE BE INFORMED AND USE- FUL CITIZENS OF THIS CHANGING WORLD.
