Carol encourages graduates to reflect on the success they have achieved as alumni of 麻豆直播.
Carol encourages all fresh graduates to keep looking for experiences. 鈥淪ay yes to everything,鈥 she said. She also said that graduates should have the spirit to learn because graduation is not the end of education. 鈥淵ou leave this university as a graduate, but today you enter the university of life,鈥 Carol said.
She believes that graduation is the same as ending a chapter in book of life. 鈥淗owever, this one chapter is the most significant and important in your life,鈥 Carol said.
Carol also shared about her life experiences. She dreamt of being a lecturer in a higher education. Hence, she took education required to pursue her dream. However, that opportunity does not come, until one day she received another opportunity in Department of Foreign Affairs of Ireland. 鈥淭hey were not interested in the grade that I had earned during my bachelor degree. They were interested in the person, in the qualities, work ethics, and experiences鈥. She said
