To enable one’s own dreams to flourish, one must first help support others in achieving their dreams, Malaika Sarco Thomas, head of dance studies, told University of Malta graduates yesterday during this year’s 20th graduation ceremony.

“What dreams do you have for yourself, for others, and for the 21st century? What are the dreams you have that feel too crazy to admit? Those are the real keepers. Keep them close to you,” she urged graduates.

Pursuing dreams would never be an easy feat, she said, adding that by falling and getting up again, dreams can be developed into great things.

Also addressing graduates at yesterday’s ceremony was Sarah Grech, who obtained a doctorate of philosophy from the institute of linguistics. She encouraged graduates to consider the benefits of reaching beyond one’s immediate specialisation.

“Law, entrepreneurship and music, I am sure, would all benefit from conversations across all sorts of boundaries.

“I leave it to you to decide on the details of how or when or indeed why at all such conversations might help us to continue refining what we do,” she said.
