“As you begin this next chapter, I encourage you to also create a path that is purely your own, always challenge yourselves to envision different ways of channeling what you’ve learned 在这里 at Marist, 和 don’t be afraid to strive for new opportunities or experiences outside of your comfort zone or perceived path forward,凯拉说. “Discovering new opportunities can lead to an ability to make a meaningful impact 和 truly find passion in what you do. Just as I have done, you will improve by learning from the mistakes you make along your journey.”
