Congratulations RG. I hope life has a great future for you.

You're now a grown-up, in the eyes of the law, an adult. You now have the same rights as your classmates now, your average adult, and your parents.

You must celebrate this new package of rights. And you must defend them. Use them wisely and responsibly as well.

Yes, my friend. Chase your dreams. Be yourself. You're the leader of your destiny from now on. Make the right choices, and don't fall so low, even if times are tough.

You don't need to listen to your parents, at least legally. You're the master of your own fate. Study whatever you wish, where you want to, and if you don't want to study, don't. After all...

You are the new leader of your "nation". A "nation" called life.
