Congratulations Class of 2020!!!
You have reached the end of your educational journey.
A journey that has been filled with difficult challenges.
A journey that began in the shadows of a post 9/11 world.
A journey with an unprecedented financial collapse.
A journey with tragedy and loss of innocent lives.
A journey whose path became steeper and more dangerous with every passing moment.
A journey that would make even the most well trained people abandon it...
But not you.
You stay through it to the end.
You stay through it day after day, year after year.
You stay through it by persevering.
By making course corrections while maintaining your heading.
By adapting to new technology and means of communication.
By helping each other out and ensuring no one would be left behind.
Even as you were presented with more unprecedented challenges,
An unknown virus, personal sanitation, stay at home orders, mandated masks,
A death at the hand of those responsible for the protection of the people.
You wore your caps and gowns,
You logged on through your devices,
And you became the newest graduates,
The Class Of 2020.
Congratulations!!!
