2022 Virtual Appreciation Awards Ceremony The 2022 Virtual Appreciation Awards Ceremony was held virtually on April 05, 2022 (and streamed via UWI tv ) under the theme, Partnership and Diligence - Pathways to Success . Mr Java Sealy, a recent graduate of Cave Hill, was selected to deliver the feature address on this theme. Mr Sealy was the CARICOM Youth Ambassador, 2021/2022. He urged students to take responsi- bility for their success. In his words, “Navigating your unique path to success means that you have to take responsibility for it. Ultimately you are responsible for your own success, so own it. You have to decide that is where you are going and while there may be external factors and inhibitors, as Caribbean people we know how to push and get through,” Sealy shared He also advised the students to conceptualise and implement their unique strategies to pursue their own version of success. “Ask yourself which goals, stops, land- marks and events will constitute your vision for your success and then make a strategy for it,” Sealy advised the students. Prioritise partnership Speaking under the theme Partnership and Diligence: Pathways to Success , Sealy gave a roadmap to success as he made his address to the students, urging them to prioritise partnership on their path to success.

“Volunteerism and mentorship are two of the most powerful and inval- uable tools to helps us go further together. In fact, one of the best ways to navigate any path or any journey is to connect with someone who has gone that road before. With a mentor you are able to leverage their experi- ences, successes and failures to travel your path not only at twice the speed but with the same care and same lessons learnt,” Sealy counselled. He also directed the students to leverage the internet and its resources to connect with persons outside their geographical location and who may
have even passed on. “While I recommend a living mentor, this time period and the advancement of the internet allows you to be influ- enced by any mentor you like. Thanks to billions of hours of content in the largest video library on earth which we know as YouTube and unlimited databanks on those who are known as ‘legends’, you have the chance to consume as much content on those who inspire you, and those whose journeys you want to learn from,” Sealy shared. He also encouraged the students to take advantage of the opportunities
