Serving as guest speaker at the 10th graduation convocation of the Patmelia Academy in Paynesville, outside Monrovia Senator Joseph delivered a motivational message in which he unscored the importance of education, hard work, and parental guidance in shaping the next generation.
“Education is the foundation of every strong nation, and you, the students, are the ones who will one day steer Liberia’s destiny. Forget the difficulties, the sufferings, for they will always be there. I too, went through the same as you, but I took my lessons seriously, respected my teachers, and remained disciplined so because I knew that my tomorrow was not going to be like that. You, the graduates here today, I charge you to do the same, because you will be the leaders this country needs,” Senator Joseph told the attentive graduates amid cheers from them, their parents and well-wishers who trooped in at the Paynesville City Hall.
The Montserrado lawmaker also commended parents and teachers for their sacrifices in preparing Liberia’s children, stressing that their role is indispensable to nation-building.
“Parents and teachers are unsung heroes. Despite challenges, you continue to invest in the growth of our children. I salute your dedication,” he added.
For his part, Mr. Patrick Komoyan, proprietor of Patmelia Academy, reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to supporting Liberia’s education sector.
He praised the Montserrado County for always being the champions for education and youth development, especially for his support to the Patmelia Academy.
In so doing, Mr. Komoyan announced the appointment of Senator Joseph as Advisor on the school’s Board of Advisors, a move he’s of the conviction will strengthen the institution’s vision and impact.
“Senator Joseph’s dedication to service and education makes him the right person to guide us. With his advice and inspiration coupled with his support, we are more determined to continue contributing to Liberia’s educational development,” Mr. Komoyan said.
Meanwhile, the graduation program saw the graduation of 282 students from the walls of the Patmelia Academy School System.
