NEW ADVENTURES

Today is not the ending but the beginning of another chapter in our lives.  It is wonderful to be here today knowing that graduation of not only the program but also high school has been fully accomplished.  The way I see it is everything we do is to make it somewhere else.  Graduating High School has made it possible for all of us to now pursue educationally what we want to be as adults.  Graduating the program has made it possible to see the direction in our lives.  But the test is not graduating the program and completing high school, it is what we do with ourselves now that we have accomplished these goals.

Although today may be a  day of celebration; tomorrow starts a fresh start, a second chance.  You can throw this chance away or take full advantage of a new start.  If there is one thing I have learned from the trials and tribulations lately is that not everyone is offered such a gift.  We as young adults will decide what direction our world takes.  We now influence others, chose what is right and wrong, prove to be people of importance.  This task may seem overwhelming, but it is definately not impossible.  We have the power to decide what the future holds.  The question is…are you ready to take on a new life?

I think that for all of us graduating today the answer is YES!
