The Graduate

Last night we had a celebration for Jason who just graduated from college! What an accomplishment! We are so excited for Jason and Whitney and what is ahead of them. Whitney is working really hard and taking 20 hours this summer so that she too will be a college graduate by August! They are two great, hard working people! I was caught up in the excitement of graduation and found quotes for the graduates...(they don't really need them, they are mostly for me,) but I thought I'd post them, these kind of quotes are good to get everyone thinking.

"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"
(unkown)

"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead, where there is no path and make a trail."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door."
-Melton Berle

"All our dreams can come true...If we have the courage to pursue them."
-Walt Disney

and of course, one of Giggs's favorites...

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone is omnipotent."
-Calvin Coolidge
