Don't be scared to keep punching even when you feel life knocking you down. Wipe your tears and keep going, never forget the purpose of your journey. -Perla Maldonado, Honor Society member of NSLS.

The hardest thing about graduating is not learning to deal with the endless amount of school work and stress. It is not learning to be a father at 21 or how to raise a family as a student. The most stressful part of gaining a degree is continuing to push yourself in the times where there was no light. Clinging to those around you that give you hope and perseverance. Most importantly, trusting God and having faith through every step. As we approach the new task of adulthood remember to approach it with the same tenacity and grit.
