Commencement Speech MIU 2025 – Claudia Azevedo Leite do Amaral

Good afternoon. My name is Claudia Azevedo Leite do Amaral. I am graduating in Bachelor of Business Administration.

I would like to thank everyone here today for this ceremony that is so important to me and to my colleagues at MIU. I congratulate all my colleagues, graduates.

Thank you for being here:

• President of MIU, Dr. Daniel Burgos
• Associate Dean of MIU, Dr. Marisol Salcedo
• Global Academic Director of PROEDUCA, Dr. Rubén González
• PROEDUCA Academic Director, Dr. Oscar Montero
• Coordinator of Academic Innovation at the International University of La Rioja, Dr. Luisa Zozaya
• MIU Chief Instructor, Dr. Eliette Barrios

I would like to thank the volunteers, dear professors, and all the campus coordinators and directors. I would also like to thank my husband for always supporting me.

Thank you for choosing me to give this speech; it is an honor for me.

I am very happy to be graduating here in the United States in Business Administration. This opportunity is very important for my professional development, so that I can always contribute with my best knowledge.

I was a dedicated Physical Education teacher in Brazil, and now I am fulfilling my dream of studying and graduating in Business Administration, here in this country that I love and respect so much.

I also offer this achievement to my late father, who was a great business administrator and was always very proud of me.

Thank GOD for blessing me with yet another victory. In my course I developed, I learned a lot and prepared myself for new challenges.

I believe that we are always improving ourselves and that is why I continue to seek to improve my knowledge. I chose MIU to do my Master’s degree in International Business Administration, and I already have this new and important challenge.

Thank you MIU for always welcoming me and giving me such a warm welcome.

My message to everyone is that

Our lives are always driven by great challenges and many
changes.

And to achieve your dream, it is essential to believe, take the next step, plan your way, make the best choices and always give your best. With focus and determination, the best results will come.

Thank you all for listening to me and honoring me with your presence!
