Inspiration
I gave a bit of a speech this morning titled "The World Needs You". The students were receptive and listened to every word. The main point was the importance of looking out for yourself, working hard, and living a life where you contribute to Meaford/Grey County/Ontario/Canada/The World. We have some wonderful students in this class and I want them to understand that they really can do almost anything with their life - but they really to need to work hard for it.
