Graduation

Yesterday was Camila's Graduation. At a beautifully arranged event she received the High School Diploma of the American School of Bombay. Years of hard working, not so hard working, perseverance, many moves, tears and laughter are summarized in 20 seconds when they give you your diploma.

Of the many diploma's you will work for in your life, this is probably the most distinguishing. When you got to be such an international student as Camila finally is, you know that there are many, many people in the world without this opportunity. And many of the following diplomas have a lot to do with reaching this stage; after that, willingness and pleasure in what you are doing can bring you there - or as one of Camila's colleagues put it in his speech "the right combination of selfishness and selflessness". This marks also the moment that the next phase in your life starts, leaving home, much more dependent on yourself for problem resolution. No one ready to cook your dinner. And college will be a great time, with deeper friendships, intellectual challenges, and focus on what you love to do! And we wish you that with all our heart.
