It is the result of persistence, determination, and hard work. The point here this evening is everyone starts somewhere, starts small, and as award winners here today you have shown us that you have what it takes, you have what it takes to leave this hall today, and whatever sparks an interest for you in your life ahead remember what can be achieved, and believe in ordinary things.”
