A shout out to my FIRST full Bearcat Graduating Class . . . April, Thaniel, C. Scott, Andrew, Tim, and Dustin: Working with you and watching the amazing humans you have become over the past four years has been my absolute pleasure. You have made me proud beyond words even though you have made me crazy just as many times. I embrace the uniqueness that each of you possess and love the spirit you have brought to my classroom and my life. My hopes and dreams for you as you enter the next chapter of your life, adulthood . . . so crazy, is for you to always remember that you are in control of your path (which includes your actions and your reactions) and each of you are capable of finding your own niche that will make life a wonderful experience. Like high school, there will be times when you are able to relax and savor the moment and others when you feel that the efforts and hard work expected of you are more than you are capable; don’t ever give up and remember along the way that you have already conquered both, earning you the right to take this next step in life. Work hard when you need to and enjoy life when you can. Most importantly, never forget that you are amazing individuals and that you possess something that will add value to the world.
