Message to the Class of 2019

Dear Grads,
You have reached an important milestone in your life journey; you have successfully completed your elementary and high school education and are
now ready to face new challenges.
High school graduation is a time most graduates feel as though they are riding a wild rollercoaster of emotions. There is great excitement and
celebration, as well as some sadness and possibly even some fear as you ponder what the future may hold. As you graduate, you close the book on a
regular routine you have known for the majority of your lives. Although this door is closing, a new door is opening wide. As you pass through this doorway
you will find an endless supply of opportunities and challenges. This is a time of important choices and new beginnings which will help shape the rest of
your life.
While some of you may know exactly what you want out of life others may still be unsure, and that’s okay. Whatever life path you choose to follow,
make sure you do it for the right reasons; do it because you want to, do it because it brings you happiness, fulfillment and personal satisfaction. As you
seek your future career choices, keep in mind you must do what you personally feel is best for you. While financial stability is extremely important, it is not
everything. Never make a career decision based solely on its financial rewards. One can have all the riches in the world but without personal satisfaction and
happiness that person will not experience the best life has to offer.
My wish to you all is that you find your own personal balance between home and career and that overall, you make the best of what you have and
enjoy every moment of the rest of your life. As you move forward in life face each challenge head on with no fear. No dream or goal is out of reach. It isn’t
going to come easy – it will take a lot of hard work, but let me assure you, in the end it is definitely worth it. Each and every one of you has the ability to use
your knowledge and personal skills to their full potential. There is always something new to learn so never close your mind to new learning opportunities
which will arise throughout your life.
You are the leaders of tomorrow, the next generation of young adults setting out to shape this crazy world we live in. Every choice and decision you
make leads you to the next step on the road of life. Always strive to make good decisions and responsible choices and don’t be too hard on yourself if you
stumble now and then. One of the most important messages I can pass on to you is to remember that nobody is perfect. We are all human and we are all
capable of making mistakes or losing our way from time to time. If you do, it’s perfectly okay. You can always find a way to make new choices and move
beyond the turmoil so that you can find yourself in a better place. Some time ago, I heard a great quote from a young man diagnosed with terminal cancer.
No matter what life threw his way, he constantly reminded himself that it could be worse. That is so true. Remember, no matter how bad things may get it
could always be worse.
In closing I want to encourage each and every one of our graduates to enjoy this time with your family, friends, and classmates. You have been
through a lot together throughout your school years. There have been good times and bad times and those ups and downs will continue throughout your
life – that’s just the way life goes. None of us know our destiny or what our future holds. The important thing is to live each day like it’s your last, live your life
to the fullest and have no regrets when looking back. Although it can be hard to understand, everything happens for a reason. Surround yourself with good
people and stay in touch with family and friends no matter where this world may take you.
Be proud of who you are and how far you have come so far. The ride is not over and there is a lot more out there. Jump in and accelerate yourself into
the future. Go out there and make things happen! Congratulations on your graduation and good luck with all your future endeavors!
