What u think of my speech?

We, the members of the cl of 2009 have each come from very different background and places, each one of us with their unique history. Traditions and cultures, we can be proud of, the experiences that have made us who we are today, and given each of us an understanding of how the world functions. Some of us are American, Bahraini, Jordanian, Egyptian, Indian, Lebanese, Moroccan, Palestinian, Pakistani, and many others proud nations from around the world. Regardless of our gender, race, religion, or our nationalities, we succeeded in communing here, at NYIT under there tutelage. Where we have been challenged to expand our understanding of the world. By the efforts of our dedicated Professors to innovative understandings and experiences, we have widened our understanding of the world, but also of ourselves and who we are to be in this world. Our melting point is here, our cultural and traditional barriers were removed and freedom and cultural tolerance were empowered. NYIT has given us this time and place, to meet, learn and build new bonds, with many people from cultures around the world. As we graduate today, some of us may underestimate what we have achieved here. Some of us may be thinking that so many have ped through these halls before us. Others may be thinking that all has been achieved by those who graduated before us. Others may be worried, we will not be able to find a place in this world of complexities and achievements because so much has already been done. Because the global market is going through these real challenges and restructuring. As one of you, who is living with such thoughts, I am here to say there is an infinite body of possibilities ahead of us. YES, we have many challenges. I feel the answer to the challenge is to build a vision that allows us to see what we can do ourselves. As the famous Marcel Proust once wrote: “The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.” We have the challenge of going through these halls as others have done before us, they were good but to tell you the truth we can be better. Only because we have there knowledge set ahead of us lighting the way. The question is: are we able to see the world with new eyes or not? It only takes one thing to make this happen: full trust in who we are and what we know. We have pion in our dreams of the future and belief in our abilities to manifest them. We must have absolute courage to step into the abyss of the unknown. We can with the trust in our education and faith will allow for everything we dream to become a reality. It is the truth, when I say that most of us have no idea what we will do after this ceremony ends and leave the gates of NYIT today. With our futures unknown to us, we may feel inclined to attach ourselves to the past, to play it safe, to be careful, to follow exactly the footsteps of the ones who graduated before us, to tip toe through life hoping that the opportunities will appear like magic. I say to you that we can and must create our own opportunities and build our own future. A future not ignore the past, but it is building it independent upon the past. We honour our past, respect it, learn from it, but are not limited by it. Our futures will not depend on what happened before us, but on our commitment to building it from what we learned. Our lives and our desires are all build on this past but we will set forward a dream / a vision of our futures based on our education here at NYIT and a determination to do better than all previous generations. Enclosing, for of the cl of 2009, MBA students, I would like to express gratitude for our teachers, who made our learning process such an interesting journey we have enjoyed and will remember for rest of our lives. Personally, as a woman who was raised in a war zone and left her country to pursue her studies, I would like to express my thanks for everyone who made my stay in Bahrain an unforgettable experience. Thank you NYIT for offering me the opportunity to experience the Freedom of education for the first time in my life. Thank you to my teachers for the valuable knowledge you provided me with. Thank you to my friends for the peaceful and happy times I have spent with each one of you. Especial acknowledgement I would like to give to my family. Who have come all the way from Palestine just to celebrate here with me in my success. On this occasion, I would like to bow in respect and gratitude to my wonderful parents who sacrificed every joy they could have, to see me standing here delivering this speech today. To Mom, I love you so much and without you in my life this will never happen. Dad, it is true that you have ped, but you never left my side, making you proud of me, is behind every determinate minute of my life. So in my leaving you today, I want to wish you a wish of an 85 year old woman, who on her death bed remembered all the things she wished she had accomplis
