Motivational Speechby Jasmien Wijngaarde
MPA6 Alumna
Good evening, Members of the Institute, MPA 9 students, Ladies and gentlemen,
I am very pleased to be speaking to you today on behalf of the MPA Alumni.
I hope that you feel as excited as I am to be part of this great moment. I'd like
to draw your attention for a few minutes to share with you how important this
day is to all of us.
I was asked by FHR to do a motivational speech and asked myself why,
because I didn’t graduate with a distinction, I had an overall score of 7.6; and
saw my name only once on the grades cup (that’s a cup where you get your
name printed on, every time you score the highest grade for an exam), It is
something to look forward to. To be honest, I only scored a high grade that time

all kinds of questions and I liked to have fun.
Than I thought about the fact that I never had to do a resit for an exam, I was
always driven and tried to study very hard (despite the fact that I didn’t always
keep to the “4 hours study a day” rule of Mr. LiMaPo). In my mind I went back
to my graduation day, March 29th 2014, an exciting day that finally came. That
day I fell, and hit my head badly around 3 o’clock in the afternoon. I was
rushed to the emergency room with deep cuts and bruises on my forehead. We
had to be at the institute at 5 0’clock for our graduation pictures (I’m not in
any of them…)
I called Charissa, our program manager, and told her that I would still attend
the ceremony in time to do the graduation speech. Yeah, I was the one who was
scheduled to do the graduation speech and it had to be me in the emergency
room. I left the emergency room at 6, hurried over to my house, applied make-
up on only half of my face and rushed to FHR with 4 bandages on my head to
do my speech.
If that’s not motivation, I don’t know what is.
I was determined to do the speech on behalf of my fellow students. While lying
in the emergency room I thought about all I had worked for, all my efforts, the
