    Congratulations to all those who are have reach that milestone, especially with all this negativity swirling around. Keep spreading your wings and reaching for the the stars. As you move on to pursue your goals in life, do not let where you are from determine your destination. Remember “kites flight not with the wind, but against it”, and finally that diamonds are pieces of coal made good under pressure.”

    Never heard of the word “graduands”. It is not in the dictionary and even the spell checking feature on my pc does not recognize it. Why not use the regular “graduates”?
