Keep Your Eyes on the Prize….

Zooooom! That was this semester zipping past you!   It seems like only last week we began our Fall 08 classes; yet the semester is over. WOW! For me it has been a really great semester. I have learned a lot. Along with book learning, I have learned a lot about myself. I learned I have what it takes to survive and thrive in the college scene. There has been some doubt along the way, but I have remained strong. This semester has brought me a long way in my path to success. Today I am happier, even healthier, due to my higher learning. I am sure many people here on campus feel the same way. Freshmen, you have all shown yourselves, as I have shown myself, we have what it takes! Sophomores and Juniors, I can only imagine the feeling of being so close to the ultimate reward, keep up the good work. Seniors, congratulations!!! You have achieved your success! Many of us aspire to the status you have earned! The close of this semester brings different meaning to all of us. We all should be proud and determined. Proud of the way we have conducted ourselves. The way we have valued our education here on this campus. Determined, that we of this generation will do great things! We have all been part of an historic election, in every sense of the word. Something so monumental happening in our time, is no coincidence, nor mistake. I hope we all will take a bit of the responsibility into ourselves and use that to empower all our actions henceforth. We all can make a difference in the lives of our fellow human beings; together we can make change happen, for the good. Let us all keep in mind, we are all equal, we are all in this together. I am proud to be a part of this change, but most of all I feel privileged to have been through this experience with all of  you.
