RDFIS strives to prepare students for rewarding future
At the commencement ceremony for the Class of 2022 in RDF International School (RDFIS), Stephen Pellerine, principal of RDFIS, offered words of wisdom to inspire graduates to be wise and enthusiastic, open doors to the pathways that they want to walk on, and live and lead legendary lives.
With a specially prepared gift for the students – a key ring and two uncut keys, Pellerine dropped five messages in his motivational speech titled “The Keys ‘You’ Cut,” galvanizing the prospective college students to continue pursuing academic success and moral excellence, as well as to carry forward RDFIS’s legacy of responsibility, discipline and fortitude.
“As you leave the doors today, and as you head out to fill this ring with keys of your liking, as you head out to the keysmith and get your keys cut, cut the keys that make your life colorful and well rounded. The colors of your choice. The keys of your choice,” Pellerine said encouragingly in his address.
