Goodness in service | the trip that I took with the choir to Mexico. What a lesson in sharing. The trip to Rawanda.

I remeber very specifically when I graduated from high school, I was obsessed with graduating with honors. I missed it by 3%. I think when I do something. I always think I could do it better. When I graduated from college, I graduated cum laude. But I could have graduated magna cum laude with a 3.8 if I had remembered to S/U the class. There were a lot of mad mistakes in the yearbook. I was proud of it. But it could have been better in a lot of ways. My speech at graduation. It was really that good! |
