A farewell from the heart Dear seniors of the Class of 2016, Four years ago we started our journey together, and now it is time for you to start a new chapter in your life story. I am sad that I will not be a part of it, but confident that you are all ready to go out and make your mark on the world. If I had one wish for this class it would be to never forget where you come from, and to always look ahead to where you are going. Rise to every challenge with a smile in your heart. Remember to draw on the strength that lies within each of you. Realize that you always have choices. At graduation the field will go silent, the music will start to play, and your heart will be racing. You will look into the crowd and you will catch your parents smiling with pride. THIS IS YOUR MOMENT, take it all in. You have earned it—it is now your time to shine. I used to think that my sons would be my only shining stars in the sky to guide me in life, but I now have 343 new stars to look to for inspiration. You have made me a better person, and have given me new insight into the future. This is truly a class with the heart of a champion. I would not trade one moment that I have spent with you. You will all have a place in my heart. Marylyn Withers Class of 2016 Adviser And it’s times like these we can’t replace It’s times like these we must embrace And even though it’s bittersweet and brings us to our knees It makes us who we are, in times like these. Kid Rock-”Times Like These”
