A meaningful song given from the graduates by Michael Bolton, `GO THE DISTANCE` as the song goes…
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know every mile will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow, I'll see it through
And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
'Til I go the distance and my journey is complete
Indeed, you could go the distance by far as this machining program and being a machinist will flourish your life if by then with God`s grace of your journey to be giving on board chances for greener pastures internationally.
Purposely, your life is what you make it, and I`ll leave you with this quote from WIlliam Ernest Henly:
`I am the Master of my fate
The captain of my Soul`
