Congratulations!  I know this is not how you always envisioned your last weeks in school and I’m sorry this has happened, but I hope I can encourage you today.

Life is full of disappointments, but they all pale to the victories, happiness, and successes that lie ahead.

This will not be the worst thing that ever happens to you, but life is not about what happens to you, but instead, how you respond to what happens to you.

The pages of life do not turn smoothly like a storybook, but the pen to write your story is always in your hand and the future’s pages are always as white as snow.

Look how far you’ve come and never forget the confidence you’ve built or the lessons you’ve learned, but listen to me, you’ve only just begun.

Wishing you all the best,

Mayor Darren Musselwhite
