face the world. Our careers are in the planning stage. In the search for appropriate occupations, we have had to learn about ourselves, and those around us. We have begun to realize that trials and triumphs are all part of the climb up the ladder of success. We've learned that everyone has to work willingly to attain their goal. These have been trying times, times of fun and times of hard work. All of the experiences we have had, and the ones yet to come, will contribute to the success in our roles as mature, responsible men and women - the hope of tomorrow.
