GRAD,
continued from Page A1
“Never have I been around
a collection of students who
have made a bigger impact
on my life, and the lives of
everybody else they come in
contact with,” Handley said.
Handley encouraged the
students to live their lives by
leaning into four key principles:
embracing adversity, honoring
loved ones, celebrating other’s
successes and carrying a
growth mindset.
“Each one of you had every
excuse to give up on your
goals at some point during
your journey, but here you
are. That resiliency paid off,
and while difficult to accept,
it’s adversity that shapes your
growth as an individual,”
Handley said.
While the graduates had
been working toward a
common goal for 12 years –
graduation, Handley said, the
ideas of achievement will look
different from here on out.
“Continue to rejoice for
those around you, even when
their definition of a success
differs from your own,” he
said. “From now on you’ll
have others depending on you
under the immense pressures
of everyday life. You will be
relied upon for emotional
support during the highs and
lows, and you will be asked
B
D
C
to lift others with you as
you continue to climb ahead.
Luckily, we can send you off
confident that you will take
these challenges head on, and
you will be successful.”
