Moreover, such involvement fosters self-confidence, motivation, and positive relationships between students, teachers, and peers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Through the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), Mr. Jallow reiterated his message, emphasizing that parental involvement contributes not only to academic achievement but also to social development.<\/p>\n<p>Guest speaker Bai Madi Ceesay delivered an inspiring address, urging graduates to understand that success isn\u2019t solely defined by grades, exams, or certificates. Instead, he encouraged them to focus on how they handle failure, treat others, overcome obstacles, and stay true to themselves in a constantly evolving world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you step beyond these gates today, your success won\u2019t be measured by test scores but by your ability to face adversity, maintain your integrity, and build meaningful connections with others,\u201d Ceesay said.<\/p>\n<p>He reminded graduates that many people today pursue success without strong values, chasing status, wealth, or popularity at any cost. \u201cTrue success isn\u2019t what you accumulate, but what you build and how you go about building it,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>With the world filled with distractions and moral dilemmas, Ceesay urged the graduates to hold firm to their values and always choose the right path, even if it\u2019s the more challenging one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet your values guide your decisions. Don\u2019t just chase a life that looks good. Be bold enough to dream, and brave enough to return and build something meaningful. You will face setbacks and self-doubt, but never forget that this country needs you. We are counting on you to rise with honor, humility, and purpose,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
