Loud Cheers, Quiet Lessons - Reflections on a Graduation Day

"Life delights in surprises and specializes in uncertainty. Change is the price of admission for this wild ride called being alive" Akosua Dardaine 

The energy inside the Winnifred Atwell Hall was electric. The graduating class of St. Francois Girls’ College entered with poise and pride—uniforms crisp, hair styled, faces lit with anticipation. Their excitement was palpable, each step echoing years of hard work, commitment, and personal growth.

What struck me most was not just the formalities of the ceremony, but the way they celebrated one another. When awards were announced, performances delivered, or pans played, the room erupted—not a single cheer was held back. It was pure, unfiltered joy. That deep sense of community and shared success reminded me of a truth I often speak about: the journey is as sacred as the destination.

Milestones like these are layered with lessons—not just for the graduates, but also for their parents, guardians, and teachers who walked alongside them. Behind every smile was a story of late nights, small triumphs, and quiet resilience.

As I stood there reflecting, I was reminded how vital excitement is in any journey. It fuels us, anchors us in the present, and gives us reason to celebrate—not just when we've “made it,” but all along the way.

I'm grateful to the school and organizers for the  opportunity to share a few of my own lessons with these bright young women. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2025—you are the penning your unwritten tomorrow, walk with your curiosity, your excitement, your fears because those who are willing to tell the tale are those who show up with courage.

Peace and Blessings
