A moment in the 2º Bachillerato graduation / Juan Ignacio Ponce

After much effort, countless tests and agitation, Bachillerato students have completed their undergraduate studies at MIT in early June. “You will have failures and find obstacles in the way, but you will learn from those mistakes and the mistakes of others, as from the successes little is learned,” said Mr. Javier Diaz, director of the school, to the students of the 2nd year in their graduation day.

But, above all, the teacher emphasized innovation as a way of evolution, certainly one of the maxims of the school: “Your advantage is that you are not burdened by years of conventional thinking. You have a fresh new perspective to view the world. Your years at MIT has helped you sharpening that sense of discovery, and there is no greater catalyst for success than curiosity. “

In his moving speech were also constant another pillars on which are based education in MIT school: human relationships and personal growth. “It’s about winning, but not money, points or market share. I’m talking about winning in a competition with yourself. I’m talking about believing in yourself enough to become the best architects, engineers, doctors or teachers that you can be. “

Finally, to say goodbye to these students who will now have to deal with Selectividad, the university and the beginning of his working life in some difficult times, the director offered his vote of confidence: “You think that you are not going to change the world. But I say: yes, you will. How to, you will have to decide it for yourselves. “
