The 117th Founder’s Day Convocation can best be described as motivational. I was inspired by the speaker’s message which articulated that we should not defer our dreams. She said, “If we have a dream, we have a vision.” She challenged us to be like the founding fathers and see our visions to the end. She stressed the importance of not giving up even when things get tough. This had a special meaning to me because I’m about to be a new father and I recently made a decision to finish my degree and continue to pursue higher education in spite of the challenges. I thoroughly enjoyed Bonita Hamilton’s words of inspiration.
