The determination to reach one’s goals in life and meet expectations amid the doubts and fears which crop up in due course were the main themes during the third day of graduation ceremonies held yesterday.

Borrowing a phrase from Apple founder Steve Jobs, psychology graduate Clara Chetcuti, remarked that “you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards”.

“Do not let fear, disguised as practicality, trick you in not taking the road where your heart does not belong, the easier or more convenient path,” she told fellow new graduates.

In the second ceremony, Bachelor of Laws graduate Michele Cardinali, recounted his student days, saying he would treasure these memories for the rest of his life.

“May we redeem the country for the huge investment made in us and be true professionals,” he said.
