Closing comments:

But, YOU are the class of 2014—the class that can affect the lives of 800 million people in the next century.

• Start each day with a task completed.
• Find someone to help you through life.
• Respect everyone.
• Know that life is not fair and that you

  ever give up—if you do these things, then next generation and the
  generations that follow will live in a world far better than the one we
  have today and—what started here will indeed have changed the world—for
  the better.
