"Celebrate Yourself"

Terry T. Reed, Principal

Students you have powers that you haven't even discovered yet, deep inside you, waiting for you to release them.  Let them out!  Use them to make a difference in your life and in the lives of others.  You have to the power to care about others, to make solid, responsible choices, to stand up for what you believe.  You have the power to dream amazing dreams, and turn them into reality.  You have the power to set goals that only you can achieve.  You are a miracle and you can make miracles happen.  Celebrate yourself, love yourself, for all the things that make you special and unique.  Remember:  You are the greatest, and there's only one of you.

You should always remember that you must obtain your passport to freedom, justice and equality.  Whether it's economic justice, social or equal justice under the law, it all begins with arming yourselves with an education.  Also, when you go out into the world to pursue your dreams, you should not expect to find an open door policy.  There will always be obstacles in your way.  And if the door of opportunity closes in your face, just kick it down!  Fight back!  Use the armor of God and get down on your knees and ask for what you want and you too, will achieve your goals.
