2008 Graduates

[Kymery]

Well, as I sit here, I can hear our local high school do their commencement cermonies...it is 1 mile away and on the opposite end of my home, so it is bouncing off my neighbors home into my office. I was just thinking of when my son and daughter graduated.

For our community, Roosevelt High in Eastvale is having their very first graduating class ever. Last year there were no Seniors to open the school with. It is soooo loud and exciting. I was telling my daughter (who graduated from Norco High...whoo hoo) who is here for the summer from college and she just said "sheesh, already, mommmmm...i just graduated a year ago..is it already a year?" Boy that song "your gonna miss this should be played at every graduation ceremony!

Anyway...I wanted to congrat any parent who had one graduating this year. It is a long hard road for them, economically and personally. Hopefully they will be strong and take over our country and do some good things for us...ie: lower gas prices?? lol

CONGRATS CLASS OF 08! ON EVERY LEVEL OF SCHOOL YOU MAY BE MOVING FROM.

[horsephotographer]

Ohhh..
I forgot to wish all of your beautiful children and there friends a great and safe Graduation...:)

[horsephotographer]

Here is an old one but a good one for all the new grads...

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world]

Rule 1 Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6 If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them

Rule 7 Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9 Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10 Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11 Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
