Yesterday you embarked upon a journey— a journey through days and nights, with friends and ene- mies, through laughter and tears, joy and sorrow. On your journey you experienced victory as well as de- feat. You dreamed of the places you wanted to go, the things you wished to see. Some you saw and others you missed. Your journey carried you through precious moments of love as well as difficult times of hate. You climbed mountains you thought you couldn ' t and coasted through peaceful valleys. You departed from the tracks oth- ers had laid and made new ones of your own. You dared to explore the unknown and found solitude in that which was familiar. You travelled through jungles of uncertainty and forests of security. Sometimes, while on your jour- ney, you would break down. Your steam would quit in the middle of your track. But how you rejoiced when someone came to help with re- pairs. And how you grew to love those who came. When a stormy night threatened the success of your journey, you struggled until you reached a sunlit morning painted with a rainbow. You passed through darkness into the new morning dawn. Many times you were sure you would never reach your destination. But now, you are almost there. The station is in sight; you are almost there. Some will take this journey again, some will not. But before you leave, before the final leg of your journey, take a moment to look back and remember, The people you loved. The songs you sang. The games you played. The goals you reached and the things you saw while you were on YESTERDAY ' S JOURNEY. Rick Barrett

A dream of success can have great power to keep you moving through a smooth part of a journey as well as a rough one. The goals you set for yourself became the places you wanted to go. The dreams you held were the things you wished to see. You were able to learn from your failures and rejoice in success. The races you won, the touchdowns you made, the goals you scored, the A ' s on difficult exams, the jobs you were hired for, the new friends you made, the projects you nourished with your finest attention until each one grew into the picture you had created within your mind. On your journey you didn ' t neces- sarily always see your dreams come true. But always remember the fail- ures along with the success for it was not the achievements which kept you going but the visions of achievement.
