We were not all born with a silver spoon, but we can attain greatness through hard work. It is not where you came from but where you are going; never lose sight of your dream, and when you fall, get back up. When you stumble, stand up straight. Fight when others quit, and remember, we are all important.

I walked through my courtyard, wondering what I would be if I did not know where I came from. This is part of my life, Robin Forester. I’m not a Vega; I was born a Forester. My sister is the Queen of Aquaria. Sometimes, as I walk through my courtyard, I wonder what life would be like for people not born of royal blood. My lifelong journey was to take poor people and give them a purpose, uplifting masses so that we will all be uplifted. Share some of my blessings.

The many gifts that I’ve been given and the long life that has been bestowed upon me, what can I do with this life? How can I help both Aquarians and humans alike? Staying on Genesis One around my loved ones is something that I need to do. A lot of my friends that I once knew were all dead. That is part of life. My transformation to an immortal being has been a hard one. I found favor in the Queen Mother. Although I was not born of her blood, all of the descendants of the Cyber Dynes and the Foresters are descendants of the Vegas.

All the descendants that were born of Alice Vega and Alicia Forester are all born of royal blood. Those are the two sisters who founded the civilization of Aquaria. They are the mothers of our society, traveling throughout the universe. I discovered that there is good in all people and that good is not just bestowed upon those born of royal blood. Although it is expected of royal blood to achieve, high standards are expected.

We have faults, too. Not all of us will succeed; some of us will also fail. It is the plight of humanity, and it’s a fate we cannot escape. The Strong must help care for the weak, although there are sometimes things one cannot do. You have to wash your hands because it’s just a load you cannot carry, and pray and ask God to bless the people and be with them. I built the House of Nobles as a way up for the middle class and also a way up for people with low incomes. We’re not all given the same thing. What we do have, we can use to aid and help humanity, which is why I built the House of Nobles like God’s walk amongst the people, so we must talk to the people, aid the people, and help the people.

My travels throughout space and as an Admiral in the royal fleet have taught me that working with different people from different backgrounds and disciplines is not only an honor but a privilege and gives one a well-rounded feel of other people and how different people react in different situations. It’s nice to get out and see how ordinary people live. One thing we are using to help with this is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is growing; it is a thing that we, as Aquarians, have used for years. The AIs are getting more intelligent and more decisive.

The House of Nobles is about getting out amongst the ordinary people and building programs to uplift from the ground up. It’s about taking care of the masses. The more people we have working, the more money the government has, and the more money it can use in situations where it needs to care for people, the police force, military hospitals, medicine, and higher education.

It is not inherent for people to do good based on their lineage and what their forefathers were. I’ve seen people who come out of the worst parts of Aquaria turn out to be some of the most upstanding citizens. I’ve seen people who come out of Aquaria’s best part turn out to be the worst. There is no difference in race. There is only one race, and that’s the Aquarian race; the Centauri are of a different species that stay with my aunt Alice, but we’re all children; we’re all working towards the same goal: the preservation of life in the graduation ceremony at the university of Aquaria where fifteen members of the House of nobles graduated with honors.

I said in my speech always look to where you are going, not where you came from. It is your destination that is important. You will pick up things that will help you get to that destination. Sometimes, we leave home with an empty tank, but along the way, we meet those who will teach us to refuel our tanks to move on. I was so proud of the graduates at the University of Electra.

There are members of the House of Nobles who will become honorary members of the royal family. It wasn’t their lineage that got them there.  That gridiron determination to succeed that looking forward, never forgetting their dream. Even when they fell, they got back up. Even though they stumbled, they stood up straight and graduated with honors.
