CONGRATULATIONS.. but did you remember...?

Once again it was graduation time and once again proud parents and friends flocked the location to witness the graduation ceremonies. All was as always... well not really but we won´t go there, not now.

I wish to congratulate all the graduates of CCC ACE and CJC ACE. You did not surprise me in the least. You did exactly what I expected of you. Nothing more, nothing less.

Have a great life. Have a great time changing your lives. Go forth and be ambitious. Just don´t forget RESPECT, HONOUR, DIGNITY, LOVE, HOPE, JOY, KINDNESS AND GRATITUDE. Many Belizeans today seem to have forgotten what all these words are about. Try hard to not be a statistic. Be different. Make changes in your country and your lives. Never look back if it is not for something worth while or someone, for that matter. Many of you forgot something every important on graduation day and on the days leading to graduation. It made me sad but I guess we can only teach you so much and learning everything is not in your hearts YET. Hopefully one day you will remember and correct that which you let go off so quickly. And if you never do, well then one less thing will have been achieved on that great day, your graduation and what it stood for. If you read this you may not even realize what I am talking about. I will leave it up to you to seek out and find that which is lost.

Good luck,
Ms B
