GSIS 2018 Yearbook: No Limits Volume 12 yearbook-reduced | Page 6

NO LIMITS 2018. A brand new year and a chance to start over. We hope you take advantage of this opportunity and grab each day by the horns. We hope you give yourself second and third chances, and never lose hold of the things that make you truly happy. We hope you never take your feet off the ground, but push your limits and jump head first into your dreams. We hope you are able to face what you have lost and grow from the mistakes of the past, that whatever has haunted you last year now makes you feel stronger. We hope you will be able to finally take risks you regretted not taking and excel in your passions and talents. Even if you don’t know what your passion is yet, we hope you will find joy in the process of searching for it. We hope you try to see the best in people and judge less, because everyone — like you — is unique. We hope you meet new people but still spend much time with family and value them more. We hope you fearlessly create something — anything at all — and express yourself freely. By giving yourself these small challenges day by day, you may realize you are living within a boundary that is starting to defy its limits. Before long, you may realize that the limits to your boundaries are completely ar- bitrary. They are what you have set for yourself, and nobody but you can pull yourself down. There is no limit to what you can bring to this community, what you can explore, and what you can learn. Make the most out of the numerous opportunities that sur- round you. You are bound by nothing. We are not merely talking about the skills, education, and talents which you already possess. We are talking about what is really possible for you, because you can do virtually anything. Not alone, not without new information, but certainly within your ultimate grasp. Regardless of your fears, the pitfalls you’ve fallen in before or your insecurities, we hope you grant yourself a new beginning as you explore and push your limits. We hope you will learn that your weaknesses cannot define you, and that from now on, they will not. We hope you realize that your shortcomings are not strong enough to stop you from running towards your goals. There is no limit to what you can learn. There is no limit to what you can achieve. There is no limit to what you can be. You have no limit. 6
