Best Part

EMILY'S GRADUATION SPEECH

If you're slowly losing hope, read this.

One day, you'll smile genuinely because you will have accomplished everything in life.

One day, you'll smile because you'll see your parents smiling.

You will make them proud after you graduate from college.

You'll pay them back for everything they sacrificed for you.

You won't say, "Mom, can I borrow money?" because it will turn into, "Mom, here's my salary."

You'll be able to buy them a house and a car.

One day, you'll know who your true friends really are. Those companions who will never leave you when you're at your worst.

Those friends who never faked their relationship with you.

Those friends who won't backstab you or lie to you.

You will know them one day because after all the hardships your friendship encountered, your bond remained strong.

One day, you'll move on from all the heartbreaks you've encountered.

You'll be able to look back at them without any lingering feelings. You'll be able to look into his/her eyes without any emotions because you've already accepted the fact that you two weren't meant to be.

One day, the right one for you will come into your life.

That one person who will stay with you through thick and thin.

That one person who won't give up on you no matter what happens because he loves you so much.

That right person who'll prove to you that not all boys are the same because he'll marry you in front of Him.

Your husband will hold your hand and will be more than willing to face every problem with you.

One day, you'll be successful. You'll achieve your dreams, trust yourself.

I want you to stay dedicated to your dream because I know that one day, it will come true. You will be what you want to be, and after you accomplish that, I want you to spoil yourself.

Travel to any country you want, buy every food or piece of clothing you desire, and do whatever you want because you finally made it.

Thank those people who degraded you throughout your journey.

And one day, you'll have your own family. You'll be a mother or father someday, and I want you to be a good parent to your daughters and sons.

Love them the way you love yourself.

Don't let them feel the pain that you've already felt.

Trust me, these "one days" will come true.

Just hold on and be strong in life.

Don't give up easily.

Everything you dreamt of will come true.

Just be patient.

Let's claim it in the name of Jesus Christ.

Happy Graduation!

Love,
Emily Van Wyk.
