Graduation and Congratulations

Congratulations to the Class of 2013!!! We did it no matter what level of education you are graduating from this year you have made an immense accomplishment. This is just one step to greater things that are yet to come.

This has been an extremely long journey. But I always knew that I could not give up. I wanted to succeed. Although I do not like to give negative people satisfaction but they were one of the many reasons why I wanted to succeed and why I still want to accomplish so many goals. Getting a higher education level degree does set the stage for so much more. I am in no way saying that without a degree you cannot be successful but I am saying I think that it is an amazing stepping stone.

Yes I am proud of myself and all of the graduates of 2013 but I can’t help to wonder how many more students will attend schools that fail them. Or grow up in environments where they do not have the opportunity to flourish. I would think to write letters to congress and ask others to help these students but instead I plan on taking action and trying to help these students. With the help of awareness as well as the help of the community I hope to see many more students from inner city and urban communities as well as other impoverished neighborhoods attend higher education institutes and be successful in their goals.

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2013. We did it no matter what level of education you are graduating from this year you have made an immense accomplishment. This is just one step to greater things that are yet to come. With a change of the date one day a student may right these same lines down, but hopefully then students are being encouraged rather than dismayed. And hopefully there will be 1000+ more students who will graduate with a college degree than there were now. Together we can make my vision, and I hope so many other people’s vision, possible.

So just don’t be successful but be a platform for success. Remember those who have worked hard to get you where you are today. Good Faith. And God Bless
