Now, I ask you, are you a candidate for this very special event? Graduation, after long years of awaiting, you are now a going to graduate. Are you a candidate? Some student now maybe very happy and excited knowing that they will soon graduate. To some, though it is sad, they will need to have another year. What wrong? After three or four or five years in college why add another year? Of course you will. Thats if you really don't do your best, I mean you didn't bother doing your best to pass the exam, pass your projects, create presentations, dance in front of the people, making a big speech during your class. All of us students must do that to earn grades or score. I did my best, studied every exam, pass a project, I did best on debate, attend seminars and recitation and yet while extend another year? This is a really a messed scenario. We'll this depends on your chosen field as well as your beloved school or university, why? You know all of the school and university wants their students to be the at their best, to be at the top of every licensing exams or becoming famous it is because your are carrying the name of your Alma Mater, some university and schools pressure their students to the extent that some students ends of doing suicide. On each of this events there is always a story.
I would like to quote this story on one of inspiring film I watch on my second year on college. The film is "3 idiots", this film is really good to watch for every students, I hope that our deans and other faculty of staff watch this. It is the fact that this is really happening on every university or any institution giving knowledge. On that film a student committed a suicide his reason is easy to understand but as a student who is continuously under pressured, this is a heavy stuff. After spending a long years and extending another year why not graduate? Do you believe that some of your students are incapable of something? Hell no! Institution or university should not be doing these crap. Do you think the 100% of the what the student learned this pass years can be all be used when they get a job? Big NO, only a part of it will be used.
When you get a job you'll be in a different environment and thus you learn something new that don't exist on schools or university. Those knowledge will eventually be wasted. Lets face the reality. Not all the students are gifted and talented. So don't try to make someone perfect. Let be the one to inspire these students to make their way on getting a job not the one to pressure this students to do something your really wants ("earning higher exam passer, that is all you want and I'm totally right").
Bill Gates became one of the richest guy in the world, he was a college dropout of Harvard University. After long years he went back and finish his degree. He spoke on the graduation day and this is what he says.

I'm a bad influence. That's why I was invited to speak at your graduation. If I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today. Source
To those student who will be extending a year, don't lose hope. You can do it, a lot of people get pass on this. If you think your tired, then stop for a while and continue later. The world will continue to spin and you find another quest, be picky this time okay.
Congratulations to all the graduates and soon to graduates.
You next journey will be a tougher one. Getting yourself a job.
