study because knowledge is power.

study because they can never take it away from you.

study because you want to know more.

study because it enhances you.

It is the day of your graduation. Finally, all those years of studying, reading, writing and staying up late preparing for tests and exams are over. Soon, you’ll be heading out into the real world- maybe you have a job lined up, or plan to look for one. Maybe an internship, or more study, or some other unexpected but equally wonderful path. You have done well academically, even if you lost motivation at times or messed up a few papers. As you get called onto the stage you stand in your shiny robe and look out into the audience to see the proud faces of your loved ones. You smile. All that time and effort had paid off, it was all worth it.
