Congratulations, Graduate

You're now at the summit after years of clawing your way to the top of a towering mountain. You have blood and dirt under your fingernails; calluses on your hands, but you're on top of the world! You've graduated, at last. Congratulations! You did it! Pat yourself on the back, dreamer. This hard-earned success tastes oh so sweet! There's nothing quite like reaping the rewards of accomplishment; nothing feels better; a warm soup to the soul in winter! You're more motivated to chase your dreams. The flame of inspiration sparked gradually grows into an inferno. Keep feeding that inferno! Your journey doesn't stop at the peak of one mountain. You're still traveling on the road of destiny. But take time to savor the moments; take in the mountain breeze in your lungs! You've come this far yet have many more miles to go. The journey doesn't grind to a halt after graduation. There are higher peaks to climb, more to accomplish, so keep surging ahead, dear graduate, keep flying high with your mighty wings to reach even further destinations. Don't rest on your laurels! You mustn't stop educating and pushing yourself. Continue conquering summits; climb every mountain! Date written:06/06/2021
