Me Likey :-)

I am proud. My graduates all fronted, they all spoke up and addressed the audience and they were just beautiful. I managed to push down the lump in my throat and keep it all together. 150 kgs of blubbering man is not a good look. I have to admit I am sad too. My special ladies are moving on to the next level. Things won’t be the same, but this is what I signed up for. Today made it worthwhile.

The final part of my address to my graduates:

Ladies, I know that I have only been a very small part of your life over the last 20 weeks, but you have been a very large part of my life. I am very proud to be standing up here with you. I am proud of your efforts and your achievement today. I will never forget you and I want you to know that this is only the beginning.

We celebrate your success today; but remember that success is a moveable feast. If you allow yourself to stand still for too long, you will fall behind and begin to starve, so stay hungry.

Today you can stand tall in the knowledge that you are good enough, you are more than capable and you are already successful in your own right, you need to believe this  because we – who love you; we know it! We now know what you can do and now… we want to see more. We will be watching.
