Congrats Class of 2018


GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY LAST SCHOOL DAY!

To Our Graduating Seniors:

Life is made up of cycles.  You are finishing one, and about to start another.
I can remember years ago, in May 1982, anticipating graduation and what would come next. I was naively optimistic about my own impending journey toward being the first in my family to earn a college degree.  I sincerely hope you are optimistic at this time as well! Without doubt you will experience challenges along the way to becoming a self sufficient adult. Just remember, some of the most important things you have learned you learned in Kindergarten and they will serve you well in the future!  May each of you be blessed and happy!!!

 

All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten

by Robert Fulghum
Most of what I really need
To know about how to live
And what to do and how to be
I learned in kindergarten.
Wisdom was not at the top
Of the graduate school mountain,
But there in the sandpile at Sunday school.

These are the things I learned:

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life -
Learn some and think some
And draw and paint and sing and dance
And play and work everyday some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world,
Watch out for traffic,
Hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.



GRADUATION HUMOR:

After graduating from high school, David moves away from home to study at University.

One of his text message to his dad reads:

University i$ really great. I am making lot$ of friend$ and $tudying very hard.
With all my $tuff, I $imply ¢an't think of anything I need, $o if you would like, you can ju$t $end me a card, a$ I would love to hear from you.
Love, Your $on.

After receiving his son's text, the father immediately replies by sending this response:

I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOugh to keep even an hoNOr student busy. Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOugh.
Love, Dad

Crumpled… Yet Valuable
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.  In the room of 200, he asked, "who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this to one of you, but first, let me do this."

He proceeded to crumple the bill up. He then asked, "who still wants it?"  Still the hands were up in the air.

Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still hands went into the air.

"My friends, you all have learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it, because, it did not decrease in value. It was still worth 20 dollars.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel that we are worthless, but, no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do, or who we know, but, by who we are. You are special, don't ever forget it!!"

Always count your blessings, not your problems!!!

Have a nice day!

You’re pointless.
