To the graduating class of 2023, for most of you this is your last week of high school, and you are THRILLED. We get that, but here are some things you should remember:
It is okay if you still do not know where you want to go to school or what you want to become in the future. It is okay if you decide after all this preparation that this or that school is no longer where you want to go. It is okay to just go to work and find yourself to figure out what makes you, you. I knew what I wanted to be when I graduated 30 years ago (how can it be that long?), but guess what? It changed. I was still in Education; however, went from wanting to be a High School English teacher to an Elementary Education teacher. Most people say it takes 4 years to get out of college and for some it does. It took me 5 and a half years and I have NO SHAME in it taking me that long. I worked my way through senior year and all through college in order to pay for it. (also showing livestock and selling my sheep) I learned a lot about myself during that time and tried not to settle for anything. You will find your way, I promise. Just know that all of your parents/grandparents are praying for you and your future, and we love you very much. Best of luck on your future endeavors!

The saying goes don’t blink, and they mean it!
