The theme of the seminar was “‘If it is to be, then it’s up to me.” Teresa said, ““We as individuals pos- sess the ability and opportu- nity to create a better world around us, and we must take hold of that challenge. ‘As we strive to achieve the goals we set for ourselves, there may be many obstacles that we will experience and we must conquer. Not all will be successful. But even if the solution is invalid, the learn- ing process will be beneficial. “‘As we leave these familiar walls, adults or not, we will be faced with the adult world. We must now close one book of our lives and open another. I challenge each of you to find inscribed on the inside cover of your new book, “If it is to be, then it is up to me.” Principal Gayord N.
