Ring Hop Message





            It gives me immense pleasure to  CONGRATULATE  you on your well deserved graduation of which your Ring Hop Ceremony is part and parcel of your big day. I know how hard you have worked to get your degree and just because of your efforts and your excellence you have finally achieved it. I would imagine that this moment is one of those mixed emotions, “times when you thrilled to see yourself and classmates graduating from college, while the reality is also sinking in that this will begin a new chapter in your life as you pursue the path of employment or in business arena”.

            Your schooling maybe over, but remember your education still continues. Education would be much more effective if its purpose was to ensure that by the time you leave the portals of your Alma Mater , you should know how much you do not know, and be imbued with a life long desire to know it.

            To all the parents whose sacrifices and efforts are unquantifiable you have made the best investment. As Benjamin Franklin says,” An Investment in Knowledge always Pays the Best Interest”.

            I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities and to the most special places your heart has ever known.

final message to graduates


It is my sincere hope that you will always remember and cherish your experiences from these past four years. I am confident that you have the knowledge and skills to thrive and face new challenges in life and that leaves me to my final piece of advice: DON’T  JUST GO, BUT GO AND BE ON TOP.  I have always tried  to give you practical and religious  motivations.

In closing, I have but one request: we are not finished  with each other today, this is not goodbye. BE SOMEBODY AND BE ON TOP.

Thank you for your time, and congratulations to you all and let me below out of the words which I’m sure many of you have been dying to hear: NO MORE ASSIGNMENTS, FEASIBILITY STUDY AND RESEARCH……….

congratulations


I can feel the energy and the anticipation of celebration both here on stage and throughout the graduation day coming March 17. So, I promise to be brief.

Many of you graduates have taken my class, so you know I am straight up, so expect no variation from that now. Ring hop is one of the greatest activity and one of a lifetime event that you have to treasure. Today, you have taken your biggest step into the next chapter of your life, a chapter that holds far greater responsibility. There are values and traits that will carry you far in this next stage of life: hardwork, compassion, honesty, intellectual, curiosity and active community and church involvement, these are values that will never go out of style and can never be downsized.
