With all respect, good morning rector, dean, lecturers,

senior, and my friends. Today is an exciting and

phenomenal day and I am going to give you a speech.
Now, graduates, I don’t know if you know me, but I am
Alvin Rusli, who has been part of being a student at this
best college, Diponegoro University.
My mind still wandered to the first time we came to this
college, as new students, where we had good times, and
today I want to give a big congratulations to everyone
including myself for being here today. The world we live
in is plagued with dangerous: Global Warming, facial
acne, COVID-19, and despite all the odds, we still
managed to graduate, so let’s give us a thunder of claps
and round of applause.
Until now, thousands days later, the spirit is still there.
The difference is, we are now feel content of what we
have achieved. We succeed being part of our beloved
University. There were many days full of stories. We
studied the lessons, also the lecturers with their own
characters. We tried to understand the learning system
in this University.
One thing that I always hold on to during my journey in
this University is that I should be a curious soul to new
things. In positive matter, of course. College is the place
to process and becoming new person, ready to mingle to
the real life. College is the place to lead ourself. We are
the one who is in charge of our responsibility as
university student.
Our success as university student is not determined by
our GPA. It is not measured by how many trophies and
certificate that we got. Also not defined by our workplace
later. The most important thing is the process during our
learning journey. The process with all the stories in it is
the real-life path that we will keep in our heart forever.
Starting from tomorrow we have new status in our
shoulder. We will spread our wings, leaving this college.
We will enter the real life. What we are now is different
with the moment when we came here the first time. This
journey will be our norm. No word can express how
proud and gratitude I am for being part of this University.
Thank you everyone that I know for being part of my long
journey during my study.
Bill Gates once said in his speech, be a hungry soul.
Hungry means we become a person that keeps on
looking for new experiences. Let’s be a person that gives
benefit to the society, be a person that our university will
be proud of. Let me say my sincere apologize if I did
something wrong to you.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the very very
best. This is not the end. I hope our path will cross
someday in great endeavor.
Thank you.
