There is something sacred about this moment right here, not just because you're wearing a cap and gown, but because you made it. Some of you made it through broken homes. Some of you made it while working jobs nobody saw. Some of you made it with tears jobs nobody saw. Some of you made it with tears wiped away before stepping into class. And now you're sitting here not just as graduates, but as survivors of seasons that were meant to break you.
Speaker 1:But let me be clear Grad graduation isn't the finish line. It's the starting gate, and when you walk through that gate, don't be surprised if not everyone claps. See, what they don't tell you is that growth makes people uncomfortable. Your success will confuse some folks, not because you did anything wrong, but because you had the courage to dream beyond what they could see. But keep walking, keep growing, because the purpose on your life is bigger than applause, bigger than applause. And I came here today not just to say congratulations, but to offer you an invitation, an invitation into a world you probably never heard of Healthcare technology management.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know it's not on most career posters. Nobody walks into kindergarten saying I want to manage medical equipment in hospitals. But somebody should, because every life-saving machine that helps a newborn breed, every monitor that keeps track of a person's life, every heart, every defibrillator, every infusion pump. It needs someone to make sure it works and that someone could be you. You don't have to be a doctor to save lives. You don't have to be a nurse to be a hero. You can be the one behind the scenes, quietly, powerfully, making sure families get one more hug, one more moment, one more miracle.
Speaker 1:That's what HTM is. It's excellence in the shadows, it's leadership in service, it's purpose with precision, and the world needs more of that. We need more of you, your brilliance, your resilience, your vision to step into industries where people don't expect you to go. So, even if they didn't clap when you walked across the stage, even if they didn't believe in your major when you walked across the stage, even if they didn't believe in your major, even if they try to keep you in the box they met you in, go anyway, build anyway, elevate anyway, because your destiny has nothing to do with their comfort. And this world is waiting for you to show up full, not half, of who you are, to make others feel safe. Graduating seniors, don't just aim to impress, aim to impact. And if you ever want to do work that matters, that heals, that changes lives. There's a place for you in healthcare technology management. We'll be waiting and we're rooting for you. Step into HTM, thank you.
