PHILIPSBURG:--- President of Parliament Hon. Gracita Arrindell wishes the 80 students who left on Sunday for the Netherlands much success with their studies.
"I can recall the days when I left the island to continue with my studies. It is a positive experience. You will have challenges, but nothing that you can't overcome.
"It is also a difficult time for parents to say good bye to their sons and daughters, but at the same time, also exciting. These young bright minds are heading in the direction of opportunity.
"This is an opportunity that is afforded by the country to study for an area of expertise that allows you to be able to make a contribution to first and foremost humanity.
"At the end of the study, graduates will determine their future, and one of the options is to come back home and contribute towards the socio-economic development of our country.
"I take this opportunity to once again wish our students studying abroad much success and for their parents, keep strong, be supportive and always be there to give advice and to listen," President of Parliament Hon. Gracita Arrindell said on Sunday.
