Five of our valedictorians were featured speakers during the 2020 Virtual Commencement ceremony, which took place on Sept.听25. Check out some of their most memorable, inspiring听quotes:
- 鈥淭he growth we had was absolutely beautiful. The room left for growth with new opportunities is almost endless.鈥澨�听鈥斕�Harjot听Singh,听WCU-Dallas BSN听valedictorian听
- 听鈥�We have pulled all-nighters, doubted ourselves and washed out our tears with coffee to be here. When they called 2020 the year of the nurse, never would we have imagined our public health lesson would come in the form of a pandemic, but we have adjusted, and we are resilient. [鈥 Nurses have been present through every war, pandemic and call-to-action. We were built for this. This moment has only shown our true identities: heroes without capes.鈥澨�听鈥斕�Daphne Gaston,听WCU-Miami BSN听valedictorian听
- 鈥淚t wasn鈥檛 always easy. I remember plenty of times when I sat with my head in my hands thinking I鈥檇 rather be back shivering in a cold, wet foxhole in the听Army than sitting on my couch staring at another midnight deadline. And yet, the engagement and satisfaction that came from those long nights, group discussions and breakthroughs was unlike any educational experience I had before.鈥�听鈥斕�Geoffre听Thoma,听WCU-Online听RN–to–BSN听valedictorian听
- 鈥淣urses are meant to work as a team, a family and a unit. [鈥 It is our responsibility to lift each other up, seek answers and work together for the betterment of society.鈥�听鈥斕�Lindsay Hunt,听WCU-Los Angeles BSN听valedictorian听
- 鈥淟ife has thrown me many challenges since I started my career here at 国产主播. But in those challenges, I have learned who I am听鈥�听my strength and my determination to succeed.鈥�听鈥�听Sandra听Bonaby,听WCU-Dallas RN–to–BSN听valedictorian听
