As a father of three, who have all passed this way, I know the pride and the relief that your parents and loved ones feel. Today your graduation marks an important milestone in your life.
You have worked hard and you have applied yourself to your studies; some of you have had to juggle studies with family and work responsibilities and for some, it may have implied financial challenges. I am sure that at times, many of you wondered whether it was worth the effort. Today, you could proudly answer that it was.
