Reaching and maintaining higher education is not easy but it would event be difficult if we did not receive a support that we needed most from you; however, we believed determination should get everyone to the destination. So we are encouraging all Sudanese people particularly Southerners students who have no root in education to take the chance here in United States and else abroad. South Sudanese's students needs this kind of skills and good educations, therefore, we courage each of us to wake-up and do our own homework instant of staring others people eyes to do it for us.

To these who attended our graduation ceremony: we would like to express our gratitude to all of you for being kind and devotee to our graduation ceremony as well as reception so you made a wonderful day. we thank all of you for the time that every one of you had contributed to share my joyful day we know, it was not Koang, and Gatbel alone, but we all enjoys, and share it together. However, I had deepest joy because of your extraordinary support and your words that touch our hearts. To be frank, we were very pleased to be acknowledged by you people who attended the celebration. we also, would like to thank our relatives who spoke on behave of both of us Koang, and Gatbel, for their vast support and courage. Please know that we obtain your words and your great support made the event a successfully one. Again we would like to thank these who contribute ideally and financially; in addition, to the hard working women who stayed up all night in preparation of a dinner for this occasion my family and me appreciated your support.

Also, we would like to thank a moderator Mr. Geng D. Minydet and ceremony speaker Mr. Duol W. Rut, for being daring and talent persons during the ceremony. Your work at celebration site was extremely important and made June 2, 2007 a unique day for me, our families, and fellow graduates. Thank you indeed gentlemen.

Finally we thank photographer Mr. Komach D. Dey, for his dedication to photograph & video this event a time he put to this particular event was greatly appreciated by us and the entire community. I would encourage us that when person among us had skills within the community (Sudanese Community) let use that and support each other in anyway we can.

Being independent is very important and it was the factor that we fought with Northern Sudan because we want to be self-sufficient. So let use what we learned from school and applied it within our community for better production and services. Therefore, we must isolate bad characteristic that we paint ourselves with. For instance if Deng, Gatluak, etc, know something we reject them because their name similar to that of our or because we know them in the first place. I don’t think is a good idea at all. We must depend on people who are knowledgeable from different fields within our community for support, better services, and production.  Again thank you for your enormous support and willingness to devote your time.

Sincerely yours,

Koang T. Nyoak Bachelor of Science, Major Computer Information System in Business, Minor Communication Art, and Gatbel Nyuon Duop Bachelor Degree, in Business Information System Computer (BISC).
