This message was delivered during a graduation ceremony held on June 21, 2024, where 68 students completed their secondary education.
This was the ninth such ceremony, including 32 boys and 36 girls, all studying science and humanities subjects, hailing from eight different countries.
Among them, a significant number are from Rwanda, but there are also students from Burundi, Kenya, Eritrea, Nigeria, India, France, and Japan.
Lambert Bariho, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wellspring Academy, reminded the graduates to make the most of the time and opportunities they have.
“I congratulate the graduating students because they are the fruits of the efforts they have put in over the past years. You are still young, and you have everything in your hands. Remember to do what pleases God in your time because opportunities come once.”
“Life doesn’t have a rehearsal; make the most of what you have and see at the right time.”
Lambert Bariho added that in everything they do, they must remember to honor God to become great leaders and excellent workers.
Steven Rudakemwa, the Executive Director of Wellspring Academy, emphasized that the graduates should continue putting effort into everything they do to benefit Rwanda and other countries.
“Today is a very valuable day, considering our goals of educating leaders suitable for Rwanda. We are confident that what you have learned in school will be fruitful for the country and beyond. Students, keep up the determination, have zeal, and love God.”
Senior Pastor of the Christian Life Assembly, Pastor Peter Nkunzingoma, advised the graduates to avoid things that could ruin their lives to achieve their goals.
“God did not create you by accident and did not make you failures; instead, you are a blessing. The choices you make in life will shape your future, which can be either good or bad. Everything is in your hands; have positive goals.”
“There are those who had the opportunity to become great leaders but squandered it. Learn to make good choices in life. Some lose it due to drugs and other bad habits, avoid peer pressure and anything that could endanger your lives.”
Karama Benjamin, who started studying at Wellspring Academy 12 years ago and graduated, said that he and his classmates faced many challenges as students, but these are what will make them who they aspire to be.
“We started with difficulties, especially since school life includes waking up early. We will not waste the knowledge we have received; we will follow the values we acquired here to be useful wherever we go, have confidence, and continue to work hard.”
This school was founded by the Christian Life Assembly Church in 2007, starting with 106 students.
All were taught under the Cambridge international program. The school aims to provide international-level education, nurturing future leaders who will be a blessing to Rwanda and showcase its good aspects worldwide.
After receiving their diplomas, some of the students continue their studies at top universities in the United States and Canada, while others study in Rwanda.
