ADVICE FOR HIS GRADUATING CLASS:

“My best advice for any classmates or future graduates would be to work as hard as you can, and when you think you have reached your limit, push it just a tiny bit more. I am a firm believer that working hard is the key ingredient to success. If you want something, work tirelessly to achieve it, and when you are faced with adversity, work even harder to overcome it. Overall, true success will never be achieved without hard work. It is as Vince Lombardi says: ‘The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work.’” -Gaurab Biswas

ADVICE FOR HIS GRADUATING CLASS:

“If I were to give a piece of advice to other students, I would tell them to remember that whenever you feel low, know that the only place you can go from rock bottom is up.” -Issac Varghese

ADVICE FOR HIS GRADUATING CLASS:

“Do not feel like you have to conquer it all. Sometimes, it’s okay to acknowledge that you are working too hard and it isn’t healthy for you. You have nothing to prove to anyone—don’t feel like you have to take on more than you can reasonably handle.” -Aaron Diamond
