There is a good reason they call these ceremonies "commencement exercises."
Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning.
Your schooling may be over, but remember that your education still continues
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can
steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the one
who'll decide where to go
The important thing is not to stop questioning. ~Albert Einstein
'...People should remember that you need attention
too, and not ignore you and sneak away from you. People who sneak away from you cannot really be your friends in the first
place. Sometimes friends gang up on you. So you have to make another friend in another class. That is not pleasant. I should
know...'
"Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path
and leave a trail"
Friendship needs no words - it
is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
Dag Hammarskjold
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
and third by experience, which is the bitterest. Confucius
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives Where we're gonna be when
we turn 25 I keep thinking times will never change Keep on thinking things will always be the same But when we leave
this year we won't be coming back No more hanging out cause we're on a different track And if you got something that
you need to say You better say it right now cause you don't have another day Cause we're moving on and we can't slow
down These memories are playing like a film without sound And I keep thinking of that night in June I didn't know
much of love But it came too soon And there was me and you And then we got real cool Stay at home talking on the
telephone with me We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair And this
is how it feels
As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We
will still be Friends forever
So if we get the big jobs And we make the big money When we look back now Will
our jokes still be funny? Will we still remember everything we learned in school? Still be trying to break every single
rule Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man? Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan? I
keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly And this is how it feels
As we
go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends
forever
La, la, la, la Yeah, yeah, yeah La, la, la, la We will still be friends forever
Will we think
about tomorrow like we think about now? Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow? I guess I thought that
this would never end And suddenly it's like we're women and men Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round? Will
these memories fade when I leave this town I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time
to fly
As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives change Come whatever We
will still be Friends forever
As we go on We remember All the times we Had together And as our lives
change Come whatever We will still be Friends forever
As we go on We remember All the times we Had
together And as our lives change Come whatever We will still be Friends forever
