Alumni Banquet
From Roots to Vines: Origins and Destinations
We’ve grown from where we were planted, some of us neatly in the pot that held us from the beginning and some of us in a completely new direction than the soil intended. We broke through the dirt and basked in the sun and withstood the rain too, and our vines grew far and wide. This year at Alumni Banquet, we remember that no matter where our vines take us, they always trace back to our roots. We are both where we come from and where we are going. As we reflect on the blessings that have been bestowed upon us, we think about what brought us here-- the religion that has grounded us, the places and people that have nurtured us, the mercy of Allah SWT in guiding us in the direction we were meant to grow in.
