distinction. All have worked hard to finish the requirements that being part of a class to graduate require.
I thought a lot about the advice I would give the class of 2012 were I important enough to be asked to speak somewhere. This plain teacher would probably give plain advice that might go something like this.
Cherish your God, your family, your friends and yourself. Smile when you feel like frowning and hug when you feel like hitting. Love when you feel like hating and forgive when you feel revengeful. Dance when you feel like sitting and sing when you feel silent. Listen when you feel like giving advice and touch a cheek softly when you feel like slapping it.
Embrace the holiness of life when you feel lonely and call a friend for no reason other than to tell that friend you love him or her. Leave everyone you met with a kind word, even if that person spoke a mean word to you. Stop and enjoy a sunset, even if you are in a hurry. Thank God even if your times are bad.
May the sea breezes blow in your life in a steady, soft, roll.
Congratulations Class of 2012, may God go with you.
