In her acceptance speech, she spoke directly to the graduates of Arts from the University and said:

“The most important thing in life is to find your God-given purpose and passion – I mention God because I am a strong Christian and I truly believe he directs my every step. But going back to purpose – please find that thing you are passionate about, that you feel you were born to do.

“Then, spend every day planning and carrying out that purpose. It’s not always easy to find –   but if you persevere, it will never fail you.  When things get tough – and they will – just keep forging ahead – stay focused – be tenacious – and eventually your purpose will multiply and become unstoppable!”
