Commencement 2009 – Opening Reading by Professor Nana Apt

Prof. Apt reads

Keep dreaming little bird,

For such heights are not beyond you.

A step today,

Two steps tomorrow,

For such is the way life goes.

Dream about your flight so high,

Lift a foot and flap your wings

Hurdles here and hurdles there

High and higher still lies your way.

 

You fail today,

You try again tomorrow

For cowards are not those who fail

But those who fail to try.

And there lies the day

When you shall say

Determination overlooks struggles.

Someday in the nearest future

You’ll realize that dreams come true.

So keep dreaming little bird,

Keep dreaming.
