But neither we nor they will ever know unless we are exposed to the reality of our possibilities—the heights we can reach, the winds we can conquer; Graduation the oceans we can span. This little eagle is afraid, yet eager. Perhaps I fear only to disappoint our parents, but still I am eager to go out and show Time them how well they taught us—so that both they and we can be satisfied. They said that even though they were pushing us out, they hope we'll come back sometime and tell them how we're doing. They will always be interested in us because we are a part of them. Since they taught us, our success or failure is theirs too. So let's return sometime and tell them of our adventures and new experiences in this big world we are entering. I have a feeling we will be a success, because, Roommate, they told me they will be praying for us, that the decisions we make will be the kind that will carry us through to heaven. That will be the omega, the wonderful end of this experience and the begin- ning of another, the nature of which is too tremendous to fathom. Well, good-by for now, Roommate. It is a happy farewell, though, because we have everything to hope for and everything to gain. We will test our wings and fly.
