Last week was an exciting time for our local graduates and their families. A few of our new graduates have definitive plans for their futures which they'll pursue immediately, while others have plans but are not quite ready to put them in action. For the latter, the reality of no school next week will motivate them soon enough.

We live in a world that will require much more out of young people than any other generation that has preceded it.

Such is the nature of life. An ever-advancing world requires ever-more advanced people to successfully navigate it.

For those prepared to take charge of their dreams, go search with gusto for that rainbow with the pot of success that awaits you at its end.

For those of you who haven't started your search and have no idea that there can be a rainbow of success waiting for you, it's not too late to wake up and start your search. In fact, it's never too late.
