A million tomorrows may all pass away. Ere I forget all the joys that were mine today. No one can give an accurate definition of joy except, perhaps, by saying that it is a pleasant emotion which is dependent upon individual interests and individual personalities. Throughout our high school years we all have shared in similar activities, but because we are individuals, we have not all received the same degree of happiness from our common endeavors. We have attained joy while working together on panels, on committees, and on teams, but we did not all experience joy at the same moment, nor in the same way. Some of us felt joy when we were chosen as group leaders or when we contributed a good idea which was accepted by the others. Because we may have had a great desire to express our opinions intelligently, we realized joy in making ourselves understood by our fellow s tudents. No matter how different our interests may have been, we usually felt most of our joy when we had attained or were in the process of attaining our personal goals. We have had numerous opportunities to discover the joy of meeting intellectual challenges. For example, some of us have shared in the excitement of discovering the inner meaning in pieces of literature. This searching in literature, this attempt to distinguish between what is merely surface and what is truly deep, enabled us— in a larger sense—to find joy in understanding and appreciating our fellow men, not for what they appear to be, but for what they are. At the same time we have experienced the fears and doubts which arose when we were faced with a seemingly impossible problem, such as writing a term paper or completing a science project. But if the work was conscientiously done, we also experienced the thrill of knowing that we had done our best and had succeeded. For one of the most cherished joys we have is the warmth of knowing that others respect us and have confidence in us. It is this joy which urges us to continue. Whether it was the excitement at a basketball game or the personal satisfaction of a well-presented speech, all of our joys have helped in some way to form our character and are even now urging us to set forth into our challenging and demanding world. We shall not “forget all the joys that were ours today,” for they have become a part of what we are. 00 Page
