I ended this school year, like I do every other, by reading Oh, the Places You'll Go! to the students. Dr. Seuss, in his magically powerful way, tells each reader of the marvelous accomplishments he/she will achieve when he/she puts his/her mind to it. He reminds us all that we'll go through hard times, "that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you," but that "somehow you'll escape all that waiting and staying. You'll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing."
These children, I have no doubt will accomplish amazing feats in their lifetime. They have "brains in their head and feet in their shoes." I cannot wait to see where all life will take them!
"And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)
Kid, you'll move mountains!"
