Congratulations Class of 2012!

You did it! You graduated! All your hard work has finally paid off! You all should be so proud of your achievements, you've worked hard for them.

As  you get ready to make the next step in your journey, be it college or work, remember that you have a whole community behind you supporting you. Life is now yours to make it what you want it to be! Don't let anyone or anything get in your way.

You are strong, powerful young men and women, and you will go far in life. Use the lessons you learned here at EHS, good and bad, to help guide you in your future. Learn what you want and more importantly, what you don't want, and make a plan to achieve those things. You know how to make a four year plan, now, get ready to make a rest-of-your-life plan!

And be prepared to try many things. Be flexible in your choices and don't be afraid to change paths if you find yourself on the wrong one. Find what makes you happy, what inspires you, what makes you strive to do your best and do it!

Most of all, don't let anyone stop you from trying. Don't let anyone put barriers in your way. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't, because that's a lie. Don't allow anyone to steal your dreams and don't be willing to give your dreams away. Hang on to them, keep them in the front of your mind, and at the center of your heart. They are  yours and yours alone and only you can know what they are.

It's a cliche but the world IS your oyster. Possibilities ARE endless. And the CHOICES are yours...

Remember, no one said it was going to be easy, they said it would be worth it...

Congratulations again, Eureka High Class of 2012. Go forth and grab your dreams...
