    What does it take?

    Ms. Cecile Bicbic, our beloved and charming professor, distinguished guests,
    classmates and friends, a pleasant day.

    I am so greatly elated to have this chance to be part of this speech class. This is
    truly an opportunity. Today is a celebration of the contributions of what this opportunity
    can make in every aspect of a student life.
    We come together in the classroom and in the speech lab, in the library and AVR, in the
    food court and comfort rooms. Whether it is while playing, or studying or taking a break
    at the food court, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concerns.
    However, different we may be, there is far more that unites us than divides us. We
    share a common future. And we are here to find common ground so that we may help
    bring new dignity and respect to all people over the world - and in so doing, bring new
    strength and stability to our families as well.

    We are focusing our attention on issues that matter most in the lives of all our
    people. It is all about HUMAN DIGNITY. There are some who wonder whether their
    lives matter to economic and political progress around the globe. There are some
    whose lives are not lived, they only exist. But, let us pause and reflect how these
    happened and how can we be of help.
    What we are learning around the world is that if the people are healthy and educated,
    their society will flourish. If societies are free from violence, their families will flourish. If
    each person has a chance to work and earn as full and equal partners in society, their
    families will flourish. And when families flourish, communities and nations will flourish.
    That is why the dignity of every woman, every man, every child, every family, and every
    nation on our planet must be respected. To gain dignity into ones existence is to have
    good Health and harmony with nature.
    No one should be left dying from diseases that should have been prevented or
    treated; there should be no parents watching their children succumb to malnutrition
    caused by poverty and economic deprivation; they should not be denied the right to go
    to school; no one should be forced into prostitution. Each one deserves the chance to
    realize her God-given potential. We also must recognize that a person will never gain
    full dignity until their human rights are respected and protected.

    Thus, to strengthen families and societies by empowering them to take greater control
    over their own destinies cannot be fully achieved unless all governments - here and
    around the world - accept their responsibility to protect and promote internationally
    recognized human rights.

    No one should be forced to remain silent for fear of religious or political


    persecution, arrest, abuse or torture.
    And let us heed the call so that we can create a world in which everyone is treated with
    respect and dignity, every boy and girl is loved and cared for equally, and every family
    has the hope of a strong and stable future.

    Thank you very much.


    God's blessings on you, your work and all who will benefit from it.
