MEDFORD—Patrick Ryan, Shawnee High School’s Class of 2023 president, is curious about everything, impressing upon his fellow graduates during a June 16 commencement ceremony in Medford Township that “curiosity is the key to the door of opportunity.”
“Simply put, a person who does not try to understand more about the world around them limits their perception of their world around them,” Ryan declared.
“They unknowingly put a ceiling on their own potential, stunting the possible growth of their mind.”
Ryan noted that through his own experiences, he discovered that he is “able to break my ceiling” by maintaining a single trait: “curiosity.”
