Dear Graduate:

Your life is about to change. Your world is about to turn upside down, but maybe for the better. You are now on your own and adulthood is becoming a reality. But you are ready. School has prepared you for twelve years of your life for this moment right here when you walk down that aisle and get handed that piece of paper that releases you from something you've done your whole life. But, you should know that life isn't about to get easier. In fact, while you are about to embark on a journey of your own living a life full of your potential, don't forget where you came from. Remember that home will always be home and those memories won't be forgotten. This summer will be the best summer yet and you will learn so much in the coming years. The experiences you will have will be unbelievable. The best piece of advice you will get is, if you don't ask for something, you won't ever get it. Don't be afraid to experience who you are. You can move mountains and have great potential for your life. As Dr. Suess says, "You're off to great places. Today is your day. Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way."

Oh the places you will go!
