Life I Gur Theme The doors of life can never be exactly the same for any two persons, for each door and the use made of it determines the identity of the door to follow. The doors of life, of course, are the everyday experiences we encounter. l'Ve pass through these doors by meeting the challenge that each one brings and being ready to face the next one. But how have we used these doors or experiences? YVas each an exciting task or simply another burdensome duty? Did they add to our lives or were they catalogued and forgotten as we left them? One door in particular we should question our use of - the door of Education. Education - the magic word that gives us freedom, that has built man's civilization, and without which we live in ignorance and poverty. If we can say that these last few years have brought a new and deeper meaning to our lives, we have used the door. If we can say that each new thing we learn is applied to living and excites us on to further study, we have used the door. If we can say that every course was a new frontier to conquer, a new Held to explore, we have used the door. If we can truly say that life would lose its Havor if we were to lose our capacity for learning, we have used the door. And if we can say all these things and mean them from the heart, then we have not only used the door of education, but we have so thoroughly meshed it into our way of living that for us life can never be boring or dull. Tale possess the priceless capacity that gives us life on a golden platter. However, education is not just one single door, it is more like a great arch- way which houses row upon row of smaller archways beneath it, each a part of what we call education, and each contributing a vital color to the whole picture. These doors are, in turn, opened by several smaller ones which are opened by still others. One person cannot hope to open and explore all of these W our goal can only be to open all we can or those 1HOSt interesting to us. lVe have already peeped through some of the larger of the doors in our high school years W memories, service, development, competition, and people 5 besides our actual academic studies. These doors are important too, for book learning isn't the only means of education. There are areas we must grow in that are never covered by books or teachers, but only through our own experiences. In striving to pass these doors, we have added richness to our lives and have grown from teenagers to young adults. lfVhat counts most is not that we passed through some of these doors, it is the manner in which we approach and pass the doors of life that formulates our character. YVe must open each with curiosity and eagerness if we want to use them well. So now, as we stand at the threshold of life, diplomas in hand, let us make it our goal, no matter what the struggle, to pass through as many of the gilt-edge doors of learning as life permits, and savor each to its fullest.
