I know for a lot of you graduates it was a long hard road to get to where you are today to find the time and the money to go to college in the first place and then to stick it through to the end. Well, you all made it. Congratulations you re done in one way but in another way, the journey starts here the real challenge lies ahead. Graduates, you now have the keys to ignite your life. But remember, a college education only gives you knowledge, not wisdom.
Wisdom comes from experience, from our families, from our values, and from within.
Wisdom is balancing self-reliance with compassion for others. It is awareness that every individual s success and happiness is tied to the well-being of our communities as a whole. Wisdom is respect for the elderly, and opportunity for our children. Wisdom is an understanding that while technology may improve our lives, it is not the highest possible form of human achievement. Each of you will make a difference in the world.
