Dear Eunoia,

Today is your last day as seniors; after the last bell of the day rings, you will drive away
knowing that you are on the verge of entering a new chapter in your lives—a new chapter
full of uncharted territory and new responsibilities and challenges. College isn’t going to be
easy. You will meet new people, explore new places, and encounter things that you might
feel you are unprepared for—but that’s the beauty of growing up and becoming adults. We
get to learn new things, all the while keeping the lessons we’ve been taught close to us. We
learn to appreciate the advice that has been given to us and we learn how to help others
walk the same path we once did. We learn to take things in stride and reach out to others for
help when we need it. We learn to appreciate the world around us and the differences in it.
We learn to live fully and freely.

So, get out there and show the world what you can do.
