Twenty Years From Now : A real Chief The only way to extend the limits of your abilities is to push yourself to the edge, and then push a little bit past it. Soon, your limits will become hard to reach. This is how we improve, this is how we grow, by making ourselves uncomfortable and then adapting to the discomfort. It is those who willingly apply the discomfort, the struggle, who advance farthest.

Love, Mom, Dad, Trey and Holli Craig, You went from a starry-eyed boy with big dreams of a future yet to come, to a young man who has championed that dream through roads less traveled. Always remember: treasure today, look forward to tomorrow and learn from your yesterdays. Today the light shines on you. We are so very proud of you and your accomplishments! Enjoy the journey yet to come. We Love you! Dad, Heather, Heath and Brent Joseph Gaudiano I am proud of the man you have become. God bless you on your journeys and wherever your dreams may take you.

We Love You, Mom, Dad, Jessie, Dan, Emma, Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing. -Abraham Lincoln Kristoffer K. Hickey One ship sails East. And another West. By the self same winds that blow. Tis the set of the sails And not the sales. That tells the way we go. Like the winds of the sea Are the waves of time. As we journey along through life. Tis the set of the soul. That determines the goal And not the calm or the strife. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox We have always been so proud of you and never more so than during these last four years. Making it through KP is such an accomplishment! We cant wait to see where your future takes you. Love Always. Dad, Mom and Family Matthew Bryan Decatur Congratulations on your successful voyage through four challenging years at Kings Point. Just a few things for you to remember: Your only limited when you fail to try. Never let life's challenges diminish your dreams, destroy your hopes or keep you from being you. Character, honesty and integrity define a man. Lead by example or don't lead. The difference between a successful person and others is neither lack of strength nor lack of knowledge but lack of will. It's better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. And last but not least, never forget your way home. We will always be there for you. Stay the Course. God Bless You! Mom, Wally, Kevin Lauren 393 PAUL MARTINEZ Congratulations to Our Wonderful Son! We have always been so proud of you. Your perseverance and determination has always awed us.
