A FINAL THOUGHT . . .
 Remember
to ask for help anytime you need it!
Don’t think your question or problem is “dumb”.
Smart people are the ones who ask questions.
 Your future is in your hands.
 I truly believe in your potential. There is no one
else like you in the whole, entire world. It is not
enough, however, for me to believe in you. You
also need to believe in your potential too!
 Believe that you can be successful this year and
it will happen!
