  • Springfield Chronicles Graduate Edition — Summer 2017 May Is the Month of Many Graduations
    Springfield Chronicles Graduate Edition — Summer 2017 May is the month of many graduations. If not May, then perhaps June. In either case, when the time arrives, many bright and promising young students will move on to the next level of their lives. Kindergarten students will move up to elementary school. Elementary school stu- dents will move up to middle school. Middle school students will move up to high school. Many high school students will move on to college, and many college students will either move on to graduate school, take a job, enter a career, or something of that sort. In any case, many stu- dents will have visited the formal academic classroom for the last time. However, leaving formal academia by way of what is called “commencement” simply reflects the fact that you will be entering more fully into the “College of Experience” or the “University of Life,” many of you for the first time. You should never stop seeking knowledge and you should never stop learning. Life will teach you many things. One of the things that life will teach you is that life is not always fair. You will see people advance beyond you who you feel should not have done so, and you will feel at times that you are being passed over when you feel that you should advance. Always remember that just because you are being passed over or passed by does not mean that you are not still in the race or that you have been fully and finally de- feated. I have seen many who were passed by in the beginning win the race in the end.
