“Each of us has been affected by 2020 in different ways. Despite that, all of us have survived what this year has brought upon us and accomplished little and big milestones in our lives,” said Marcos. “Let this be a reminder that even at times where it seems like we are in a dark tunnel with no end in sight, that positivity and our resilience can power through to keep us going and reach the end.”
“Congratulations to our graduates,” said Benham. “It is time for you to sail forward.”
