Valedictorian Speech (Christian)
Valedictorian Speech
Ladies and gentlemen, honorable guest, family, faculty/staff and fellow graduates, Good Afternoon to you all. I feel privilege, honored and humble to be standing here today, representing the great Glorious Vision International Bible Institute of Class 2013. Our hearts are filled with gratitude that you could all be here regardless of your busy schedules, to share in our celebration.
I remember an uncomfortable premonition of fear that pervaded my senses during the first day of my nursing school orientation. I was exalted, ambitious and anxious. I was ready to soak in every word the faculty had to say, overwhelmed with joy. Suddenly here came of a professor who seemingly threatens our idealistic selves saying, “Nursing is not for the weak, it will cause you to lose part of your humanity, it will cause you to lose your contact with outside world and your common sense”. She appeared with books doubled the size of an encyclopedia; I was frozen to the spot. With God’s help and encouragement from my family/ my pastor, I recognize that nursing paved the foundation to a meaningful development that draws love when you think you have no more to give.
You see secular education assumes that human observation and interpretation are the basis of reality. Haven experiences this institute I noticed that Christian Institute assumes that since God is the creator and sovereign of all, He alone is the interpreter of all. All things serve him and are sustained by him. I will forever cherish my experience here in the Christian Leadership class. Christ himself modeled the skills of a leader, summarized in Matthew 20 the principle of service and suffering from the basis of the leader relationship with his subordinates.
These noble graduates have completed the journey they began 15 weeks ago, and we cannot express the joy, happiness and gratitude we feel to God, our teachers, families and friends. Thanks for your love and encouragement.
