• Page 7 - It seems such a long time ago that you first began to attend Florida State University.  Michael, do you remember those first days when everything seemed so unfamiliar to you?  You had entered a strange new world where everything was new, exciting, and often a little scary.
• Page 8 - Certainly your experiences at Florida State University were not all pleasant or easy.  There were difficult courses, difficult assignments, and of course difficult exams.  But nothing really important is accomplished without some share of difficulties.  And these uncomfortable challenges each had their own distinct part to play in the development of your character, Michael.

• Page 11 - And now, from your perspective as a graduate, you look back at Florida State University as a second home.  Its hallways, its classrooms, its routines and traditions, its many sights and sounds; and the faces and voices of many special friends will remain with you for the rest of your life.  Friends like Kelley and Anjie will always be remembered.
• Page 12 - There are also those members of your family who believed in you, Michael, and encouraged you all along the way: people like Aunt Christine, Mom, Dad and Grandmother.  Your graduation is, of course, a happy event for them.  But there is more to their pride than simply the happiness that comes from seeing success in someone they love.  Theirs is the special pride that comes from being a part of that accomplishment.

• Page 15 - And there were teachers whose faces and voices you will recall for a lifetime: teachers such as Mr. Jones, Mrs. Sebastian, Miss Kelley and Mr. Wright.  What they have given you cannot be measured merely in terms of lesson plans and academic credits.  They have broadened your horizons and contributed to your understanding and appreciation of life itself.
• Page 16 - Many different things will be remembered about your graduation day - the weather, the sights and sounds, and the faces and voices of the formal gathering.  But those who were there for your graduation will especially remember the proud moment when the name "Michael Smith" was announced.  They watched with pride and delight as you came forward to receive your proper recognition.
