To the graduating students, your struggle is finally coming to an end. It has always been a joyful experience to witness a memorable graduation rite. Many would like to reminisce the day they were marching, waiting for their names to be announced for them to receive their diplomas, the deafening applause, smiling faces, the warm handshakes and the picture-taking.
The memory of graduation is not so much in the congratulatory handshakes, joyous faces, but the person crafted and molded white in school.
It was not that easy to go through many years of schooling, but you have successfully surpassed the numerous trials of college life. The journey into the academe began with usual unsteady ladder, which has become stable and stronger through the years. Mental, emotional, physical, and social stresses were experienced in order to overcome the challenges that came along the way, but these did not hinder you in reaching for your goals. Everything must be balanced or else, your world will turn upside down.
After graduation, you will now face another step, closer to your dreams, and you are now about to face the bigger tasks ahead of you. But the question is, are you competent enough to face the challenges ahead?
Obviously, this kind of rejoicing is only short-lived. It comes not a surprise that earning your much coveted degree is the ultimate end. The truth is, you are yet to face the tedious task of finding for yourself the opportunities by which you could exercise your chosen field of specialization.
On the brighter side, you will now be excused from waking up early, wearing uniforms, making assignments, and projects, taking examinations and paying tuition.
The worst to think of is, you may unwillingly become bonafide members of unemployed and inexperienced rolled into one. Such is a dilemma. Candidates for graduation still have to face this reality.
For all these years you were made to believe that having a degree is an edge over those who could not afford an education. Nowadays we cannot rely on earnings a living on our hand-earned credentials if nobody wants to buy our services, only because there are overflowing applicants for only one job. On the other side, people who have not tasted education would do anything in order to survive. Others would apply for a job not related to their field for the sake of having a job, others try their luck to the greener pastures abroad.
Having been educated therefore is a privilege because not all of us could enjoy the same reasons other than financial restraints. But such situation should be understood and recognized. Recognizing the fact may mean that we should be prepared for the possibility for we could not all be doctors, farmers, teachers, or lawyers at the same time. We have to face the reality that we co-exist with other people, who are also human being just like us, forever looking at the slightest opportunity to have a better and improved kind of lifestyle. Every one has the right to improve his/her lifestyle through many ways and creating further means for the people who have less in life to get better opportunities to improve themselves.
Life doesn't end there. You should explore more possibilities if you really want to progress in life. You should be resourceful, creative and try to discover our untapped talents. Who knows? This might bring you to the top. Moreover, try to attend some job fairs, which might give you a chance to land a job where you can exercise your chosen field of specialization.
To the graduates who are now armed with knowledge and skills, do not be afraid to face more challenges that come along your way. Congratulations, GRADUATES!
