15 14 get tonight. For many people who just missed their goals or didn’t get the symbol they wanted, do not let these results define you; let them motivate you. For the people who put in the early morning training and are up late at night working and may just have missed what they were aiming for, keep going; everything is hard before it gets easy. One of the other things that I have realised in my time here is that an honours blazer, a special scarf, and a special tie are symbolic of outstanding achievements and represent the hard work and dedication of those who achieve them, but they can never replace the things that matter most: relationships. During the first week of August, I woke up and told myself that that week's word was “opportunity”. This was just days before my Trials examination began and now, when I look back, that word of the week has become my word of encouragement for the rest of this year. There will always be ups and downs in life, but there will also be opportunities whenever we are at the top or the bottom. All we must remember is that ONE DAY is a myth, but DAY ONE is right here – and it is waiting for us… Thank you to everyone involved in our academic journey. We get to gather in celebration of all our hard work, which has finally paid off. This gathering is one that we look forward to every year, and I thank everyone involved with organising this evening so that it could be a possibility. Carpe Diem.
