In a message to the class during its graduation at Winner’s Chapel in Congotown outside Monrovia Wednesday, the Chief Justice also admonished the more than 300 graduates to have self-confidence as they face the challenges of the world.
“You should always endeavor to build while using the knowledge acquired to achieve further greatness in life,” Chief Justice Korkpor added.
He noted: “Your achievement today is a testimony of the immense sacrifices you made in the face of hard choices, whether to go to the nightclub, beach or stay at home and prepare for exams or the choice to find full-time job to meet immediate socio-economic needs.”
Montserrado County Superintendent Florence Freeman-Brandy also admonished the graduates to see their degrees as a distinguished milestone that comes with compelling responsibilities.
“While I congratulate you for the achievements, be in the know that your moral, professional and social attributes will exemplify who you are as well as determine your successes in your future endeavors.”
She cautioned graduates against vices that undermine the integrity of the knowledge acquired, adding: “As you enter this new chapter in life, I charge you to be good ambassadors of your family, community, Alma Mata and your nation at large.”
