First of all, I have to congratulate all the students of MHC. This time it’s going to be very hard for me because one of my working students is leaving today and she brought me a ticket, telling me it’s very important for her that I have to be there. I am speechless. This is another year seeing students from Mount Holyoke College graduate; it seems like yesterday. This is my second year witnessing the happiness of successful students and the hard work they’ve put in, as well as the professors imparting knowledge to them so they can start their bright futures ahead, just like last year, 2025. Graduation hit me hard last year because I know many beloved students - they’re not just students, they feel like my children too. There were tears of joy and happiness, and at the same time, sadness to see them leave, but more joy and happiness. Now, this year, many of my working students, like Ruth, and close students that I know are graduating in a few days. My heart is trembling, but again, as I say, I’m happy for them, for their parents, and I myself am also very happy to see that they have achieved their goal - the hard work they’ve been putting in. And I am very pleased to be invited. One of my students, who started working at Kiaowan Thai from day one, will also be graduating, which is a special day of her life. ❤️ 🎓
