Posted by Ummer Farooq

Road to Success – Valediction 2018, indeed, was a celebration for those who worked hard to reach this goal,

a farewell to bid goodbyes to those friends who were part of life for varying years in the count and standing at the crossroads of life, a new beginning towards the ambitious and rewarding goals.

GRADUATION – A beginning. A time to look forward, a time to set new goals, to dream new dreams, to try your wings and see what lies beyond.

 The essence of the day was the conferment of the degrees. Students, at the same time both excited and nostalgic, received their certificates in the presence of their beloved parents, teachers, and friends. In the absence of Mrs. Tanveer Arshad, Managing director of AJ Group, Mr. Arshad Sharif handed the lighted candles to students, symbolic of their responsibility to light up the world for better tomorrows, while the AJ Choir sang melodious rendition. The song signifies that one can create one’s own opportunities to reach one’s goals. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement; continuously expanding one’s vision of what is possible, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way.
