Congratulations, Community College of Philadelphia Class of 2021! Years ago you made a promise to yourself and to all those who invested in your growth. You kept that promise at a time when more was asked of you than ever before. Refusing to shy away from the unknown, you showed fierce tenacity and sheer power of will in your roles as students, parents, mentors, partners and as people.
Though few things in life are certain, your fight to the finish line has guaranteed you the tools you need in order to build a better life for yourself, and a brighter future for your community. So before you move on to tackle your next adventure, academic or otherwise, take some time to savor this moment. Although wins like this don’t come easy, it is times like this that we can be sure the hard work was most certainly worth it.
