For the SFSC graduates who gathered in the Alan Jay Wildstein Theatre for the Performing Arts on Thursday, Dec. 12, the 2024 Commencement ceremony was a time to celebrate.
Student Commencement speaker Christopher Peragine, who received his Associate in Arts, congratulated his fellow classmates on persevering through their studies to graduation. He offered advice from lessons learned through his own life and college experience: “Success is not about trophies, awards, or applause. It’s about lifting others up. It’s about being an example – just like my mentor was for me. It’s about showing others that no matter how many times you get knocked down, you can always rise. I stand here today with humility because I didn’t get here alone. I got here by the grace of God, with the support of friends, clients, my family, my team, and by falling on my face in the mud more times than I can count. Class of 2024, I’m so proud of you. You’ve got the heart, the strength, the faith, and the determination to take on anything that life throws your way.”
