By the time you finish grade school, you know a little
![Page 32: R.H. Smith Orientation Keynote](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/55855d62d8b42a4c298b456e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

![Page 33: R.H. Smith Orientation Keynote](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/55855d62d8b42a4c298b456e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
With a bachelor’s degree, you gain a specialty
![Page 34: R.H. Smith Orientation Keynote](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/55855d62d8b42a4c298b456e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

![Page 37: R.H. Smith Orientation Keynote](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/55855d62d8b42a4c298b456e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
But don’t forget the bigger picture
![Page 38: R.H. Smith Orientation Keynote](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052600/55855d62d8b42a4c298b456e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
So keep pushing yourself
• Be persistent! • See the forest through the trees • Find great people and learn from them • School is about more than books
