Thank you for joining us for the 11th Graduation Ceremony. We are gathered here to celebrate the end of a successful voyage. Four years ago‚ we unknowingly set foot on a path that would ultimately shape us into the individuals that sit before you today. Right now‚ it’s tempting to try to sum up the past four years.

Later on he told me that he had never seen me that happy‚ ever!
