"Oh the Places You'll Go"

"Congratulations!Today is your day.You're off to Great Places!You're off and away!", Dr. Suess.

Defining success depends on the goals one has established and if those goals were measured by small steps or one grand finale. Graduating from high school is a little like that...small steps achieved with small cheers along the way, but the finale is the huge relief, the great hooray, the ah-ha moment.

The light at the end of the tunnel is going to blare full-on for many seniors in the coming weeks. The light that says you're free and the other that will burn responsiblity forever. How exciting for these young people, young people we are all going to need in years to come. We want our young people to be responsible, teach humility and understanding and work. Work in some capacity to contribute to society. Volunteerism is hard work, holding a job with or without kiddos is work, being a stay at home parent is hard work...all that teach life lessons and how to contribute to the greater good.

So, give a graduating senior the famous book by Dr. Suess, "Oh The Places You'll Go". This is an inspiring book that is whimsical and uplifting. It will make you want to go out and do great things! "And will you succeed?Yes! You will, indeed!(98 and 3 / 4 percent guaranteed.)", Dr. Suess. Congrats Seniors!!!
