The day one graduates stays latched on one’s memory. It is almost like the day one gets married.  For some, the day they got married is more memorable. The studies seem to last forever.

A long the way it occurs to you how much you need to persist. The battle against the lack of tuition confronts many.  Parents sacrifice everything. For those of you who are self-sponsored you always remember the foregone alternative; what you could have done with that money.
Every opportunity in life costs something. There is always a price you pay when you set educational goals. Sharpening skills through education is worth the investment and it usually opens many career doors. Today, it is highly recommended for graduates to adopt the attitude of continous education.
Learning never ends. There are new ideas and concepts all the time. You need to stay engaged. At The Standard we congratulate all of you who have fulfilled the requirements for the degrees and diplomas you have obtained. Remember the best is yet to happen as God guides you in life.
