A message to new graduates from Loren Ridinger. Congratulations on your achievement of receiving your degree! I am so very proud of you along with your family and friends. I am so sure that you have come to learn so much about yourself within the last four years. You have been tested beyond your limits, only to find that you are much stronger than you believed and more intelligent than you gave yourself credit for. You have learned lessons through trial and error and realized that effective problem solving is needed to be successful. You are well equipped to experience life! As you embark upon this new chapter in life as new graduates, do so with excitement and courage.
Yes, you will hit rough patches and may experience situations that will shake your foundation. Be strong. Understand that you are stronger than your obstacles and everything you need is within you. This is a very exciting time for you. Believe in yourself. Cheer for your dreams. Fight for the life you desire. Block all naysayers. Find yourself and never let you go. You are worthy and deserving to be a great success. You don’t have to look outside of yourself for success, you carry it. Surround yourself with great people who will inspire your growth and encourage your potential. Listen and act. Never get to a point where you stop learning. Be a constant learner of life. Above all, remain true to the core of who you are. Respect and honor that truth. Follow your the path that works best for you. Live life with purpose and on purpose! Congratulations to the class of 2012!
Love Loren xoxo
