First of all, congratulations on your achievements. Your arrival at this significant and perhaps pivotal point in life is a marker of the years of work and study and effort required to earn post-secondary honors. You deserve to be proud of your accomplishments and to celebrate them. Whatever level of education you have now reached, you have done something remarkable that will always be a part of your experience, something that will shape your life forever. You will never regret having gotten an education, and it will serve you in ways you may not now be able to imagine. Statistically speaking, you are more likely to earn more money over the course of your lifetime than your high school classmates who do not earn a degree. But keep in mind that a degree is not necessarily the equivalent of intelligence, nor does a degree increase your value as a person; there are intelligent people all around you in all kinds of positions, and everyone in our society is created equal and has value. A fool with a degree is merely an educated fool. Remember also that intelligence is not wisdom; intelligent people sometimes do unwise things.
Because of that, because of those gifts you have received, you have a responsibility here forward to serve your communities and fellow citizens with your hands, hearts and heads. As you are well aware, there is much work to be done in many places to build the kind of state and country we all dream it should be. The challenges are many and large, and they will not be overcome soon.

But know that your community is proud of you and supports you and wants badly for you to succeed. Your future is our future. On the day that you receive your certificate or diploma or other affirmation of your education, you have already begun to assume responsibility for your world and its fate. We are certain that in coming years, as you use what you have learned, that fate will be in excellent hands.
