33 Graduation

With the coverage of all major newspapers, the entire United States knows that the most famous author of the current era is actually a super genius!

Combined with his status as the richest author, now Henry's name is basically known to all people in the United States, at least they have heard his name.

But unfortunately, many people regret that they did not know how he looks as Henry did not want his face spread this early. So many people just heard his name and how he looks, has some basic features, but did not see his face. They just know that Henry is a 19 years old wealthy, genius, and handsome teenager, fit with the description of a charming general prince.

But this alone caused Henry to be an object for imagination for many young girls. If they truly see his face, Henry can't even imagine what will happen as in Harvard alone he is already in trouble. So to not break his temporarily tranquil life, he decided to not spread his face.

24 February 1974, Harvard Main Hall.

As the news of Henry graduating already spread to the public, Harvard decided to hold a special graduation ceremony just for Henry himself. Harvard study stopped temporarily just for today's ceremony. a ceremony they will continue to celebrate in near future as the father of technology did graduate from their university.

Something that will bring them more and more students as time passes and Henry becames living legend.

So many people specially come to this giant hall just to witness today's event. This hall is usually used for all major events of Harvard, so it's very big. But even this hall is already crowded with people as they want to see the protagonist of this event.

All professors and senior management of Harvard already wore the clothes specially for the graduation ceremony. They waited in the podium for the protagonist today.

After a while, Henry appeared with his special graduation clothes that were exclusive to him. His appearance immediately triggers a round of applause from all the audience in the Hall. Henry just calmly walked to the podium while he was greeted by Derek.

Then he just sits there as Derek must deliver his speech first.

"Good morning everyone, thank you to all of you all that have come here to witness a great moment. We all know what will happen today, so I will not waste the time and let the protagonist speak for himself. Let us welcome the most outstanding Harvard graduate ever, Henry William!!!"

Immediately applause appeared as Henry made his way to Derek's place, he then shook his hand with Derek and took over his place. He then clears his throat and tests the microphone.

"Good morning everyone, today is my graduation day. Today I want to speak about my insight into the future. We all know that since the 1800s, Human advancement has been rapidly developed since then.

Electricity has brought us to the second industrial revolution. The telephone has brought a convenient way to communicate. The automobile and aeroplane saved us much time for travelling. The computer has made the job easier for mankind.

This means mankind has become more advanced as time passed especially since the 1900s. The invention and discovery that was created during this time is equal to what mankind has discovered in the past 5,000 years.

We all know people from 200 years ago can't even imagine what we have achieved today. With our wisdom, we created a lot of things to facilitate ourselves. I believe the advancement of mankind will only become rapid with each year passing.

On July 19, 1969, we finally took one large step forward as finally we successfully sent humans to the moon. This means the technology has become so advanced that we can send people to space with our technology.

What brought this technology into existence? It's the knowledge, the knowledge we mastered so that we can finally realise this technology. So knowledge is the foundation of everything we know now.

The Heliocentrism theory found by Nicholas Copernicus is the bud that finally sparked modern science that we know now. Starting from Heliocentrism, many science theories began to appear. Just name it, Relativity, Newton law, Darwin evolution theory, Quantum theory and many more.

Many of the inventions are based on this theory so it can be created. So what I am trying to say is that knowledge is the foundation of everything. So how can we advance our knowledge? It's by constantly studying and researching, so we can finally master it.

Who is studying and researching this knowledge? It is us, the students, that are studying this knowledge. So if we want to advance mankind's knowledge and technology, we must start with the students. We must instil the predecessor knowledge that already exists to their mind while they are still young so it can better be absorbed.

With the predecessor knowledge as a foundation, I believe that many of the students will create new knowledge based on it and leave it for future generations.

To encourage more students to study more diligently, I, Henry William, already created the Umbrella Foundation and decided to donate $5 Million to Harvard University to serve as a scholarship for poor students who have an achievement!!!!!!"

The hall silent for a while before the thunderous sound of applause ringing through the hall. Henry just smiled and lifted his hat and threw it into the air. Then he backs off from the podium where all the professors are already waiting behind.

Derek was the first that came forward and hugged Henry and said, "Congratulations, my boy you have already graduated. And that speech was absolutely incredible and thank you for your donation. I will personally supervise it so no one can misappropriate it."

Henry releases the hug from Derek and shakes his hand with him. Then he said thank you to Derek and went one by one to handshake with all the professors. All the professor just congratulated him and said he can ask for their help in the future.

Finally Professor Eric turns to shake hands with Henry and his face is already emotional.

"Congratulations Henry, I didn't expect you this fast to graduate. That old guy Jacob must be happy to have a son as outstanding as you." Professor Eric said.

"Thank you, Professor Eric, for your care while I am still in this university. If you need my help in the future, you can call my father and let him convey it to me." Henry then hugs Professor Eric as he really takes good care of him while still studying.

After finishing the handshake with all the professors, Derek then told him it was the time for a photo. He told him this photo will be displayed in the Harvard Hall of Fame and will be a treasure of Harvard. Henry agrees as this photo can serve as his memories of Harvard. As photo will remain secret until Henry himself came in front revealed his face.

The podium immediately cleared of any obstacle so the photo can be perfect. Henry then asks for a moment as he wanted Susan to be in this photo. Derek of course agrees as this is nothing, so immediately Susan came over while wearing graduation clothes. Of course, this did not mean Susan already graduated, but she wears it just for this photo.

After everything was ready, Henry's position was in the centre with Susan and Derek both beside him. He hugs Susan's waist with one hand while his other hand rests on Derek's shoulder.

The cameramen then prepare his camera while saying, "Say Cheese."

"Cheeseeee~~~" A flash of light then covers all of them for a moment. And just like that, a Historical photo was taken on 24 February 1974. The future generation will see this great photo in a different light as someone on it will become a great person.
