Ms. Cine Margaret Alston, my Cousin who has an open mind
But it was her Mother, Ms. Stephanie ***-Alston adding Wisdom combined
Ms. Cine who went on to achieve a Masters in Public Administration
It was her consistent class presentations being illustrations
Hard as they were, Ms. Alston stayed the course
It was her Mother’s encouragement and plenty of inspiration
But it was the everyday of God taking the wheel in driving Ms. Cine into a commodity of theory, Concept, Adaptability, Analytical and understanding
However, higher and greater education is knowledge with another milestone of Ms. Alston becoming an Honor student and achieving beyond her own expectations
But it was Long Island University Downtown Brooklyn Campus getting all the indications
Graduates all together waiting for their name to be called
LIU being my philosophy, “You are now successful to become true business scholars and achievers all will see, and as you depart through the final exit doors, it will be LIU and education you all did pursue
You are our products and our method of education your investment at LIU
A time you had some doubt
But you applied effort and we prepared you in the technique in how you will achieve
It doesn’t matter in the area of concentration
We instilled the discipline of what graduate education is all about
So hold your head high with pride and dignity and, say LIU  loud
I graduated and I am proud
Throw your graduation hat up in the air
Walk on Graduates and our blessings in your future endeavors for you to preserver.
