Graduation day…what can I say that hasn’t been said by parents, grandparents, friends, teachers, aunts, uncles and hundreds of other people?
You are beginning a new journey, one that will take you amazing places.
Rochelle graduates go on to be doctors, lawyers, artists, musicians, teachers, plumbers, truck drivers, policemen, firefighters, electricians…all the people that we need in the world.
Just remember to follow your path, not someone else’s. Be strong, be kind, be generous, be humble, be smart.
Over the next few months you may feel lost or afraid. That’s natural for a lot of high school graduates. You have just finished 12 years of a fairly regimented lifestyle and that new-found freedom may seem overwhelming. Don’t let it be. Realize you are not alone.
You may also find the friends you have had during your high school times will change over the years. You will change too. What were common interests may not be in the future. That’s ok too. Change comes to all of us.
