We are about to change history, said Saphira. We’re throwing ourselves off a cliff without knowing how deep the water below is. Ah, but what a glorious flight! In four days another chapter of life will suddenly close on some of us. As we (oh, so) look forward to putting on those cardboard caps and stiff pleated gowns, it’s good to turn around and squint at the bits of wisdom others have presented to us over the past few years. I've read some life-altering things in the past four years. But maybe, in the end, what is best read is that stuff that was tossed through the air in our own hearing. (But maybe not.) Quotes from College “One day I’m gonna be wealthy and have mushrooms on my hashbrowns.” (Alyse) “You cannot correct what you will not confront.” (Dr. Eubanks) So where am I on the spectrum?
