Graduation ought not be an end, Replacing what within we might achieve. After all, the good that we intend Does much to serve the good that we receive. Underneath the mask of a degree A person must perform with just the skill, The knowledge and the art that he or she Internalized through pluck, hard work, and will. On what we are will rest what we become, Nor do we have much else to draw upon.
