Tina Sylvester: In 2005 we created the future. Yes, us.
Dreamers. Entrepreneurs. It happened naturally. 'Cause in '06,
we turned visions into reality and by '07, we added wisdom and tenacity.
Honing the audacity to pair preparedness with opportunity to create success. Yes, us Aggies.
Now I'm per...I'm persuaded and I'm convinced that most of you started right where I am. With a pocket full of dreams,
dancing on a platform of plans impregnated with twins. The willingness to do
and the discipline to follow through. But your perseverance is the proof that fantastic, fantasy concepts
can become tangible truth as a performance poet with dreams, immeasurable goals soaring through the roof.
I'm finding myself speaking to a beautiful crowd of people who have definitely made it.
You are Aggie-owned. Aggieland. Fastest growing companies in U.S. and foreign land,
and yes our bragging rights surpass the t-sips. (Laughter).
But on the success trip, don't dare forget to smell the flowers. Don't forget knowledge is power
and since sharing is caring, give golden nuggets of wisdom to the Aggies that follow.
For instance, in the words of Terrell Miller, “if you can't find your dream job,
it's probably waiting for you to create it.” If you can't find your dream job,
it's probably waiting for you to create it. So whether it's vitamins or space ships.
If I believe my product is viable, I promise you I'll keep making it. I'll keep striving.
I'll keep dreaming. I'll keep believing. I'll keep achieving. I see the sky as my platform.
I won't stop seeking for the stars. I'll keep reaching, for the moon isn't impossible either.
Together let's be the mentors to the mental. Capacities of the potential greatness
that rests in the minds of our future that's stricken our youth, y'all because deep roots grow strong.
And linking arm to an Aggie's arm makes our network so strong. Look around. No really, look around.
(Laughter).
That's six decades of class years staring you in the eyes. No surprise, we support each other.
We are the Aggies, baby. The Aggies are we. Our profound leadership is just a dosage
in small degree of our dynamic culture. I was told talent can't take me where my character can't keep me.
So the moral compass of my characterÉ moral compass of my company is in congruence to the Aggie code of conduct.
And in the same stride, I'm striving to be like Tesoro and Reed -already inc.- and Hot Slings and D.S.
but never the less, I have to play to by strengths act my very best. So congratulations
to you all and congratulations to you all and congratulations to us all
'Cause I can't wait to join you saying, “Yes! Who's next?” Thank you. Tina B. poetry.
