There were mottos to inspire us and stars to reach;
norms to follow and promises to keep.
All these plus your love, gave me deep roots:
IDENTITY, SENSE OF BELONGING, SELF-CONFIDENCE,
COURAGE AND TRUST, FAMILY HONOR AND SOLIDARITY.
The motivation to be and to become better each day,
to do my best, to excel, to achieve, to produce,
to give and to share, to serve ---
gave me wings with which I can fly beyond the horizons of time and space,
into a future not always predictable,
but which I face with calculated risks, idealism and realism.
I thank God for my life and for all those who love and care for me,
and those who have helped me become what I am.
From now on, I shall do all I can to make each day the best of my life.
