Melancholy grad

Hello fellow students, it has been a long and difficult year but well worth the effort. As you leave today's festivities you will begin the remainder of your long life. So what will you do with your life? Will you kick back and watch as opportunity passes you by? When the troubles that this life brings arrive at your doorstep what will you do? Will you simply allow yourself to be overtaken by the challenges and pains of life? I admit, that would be easy. The troubles of life never change and you know how to deal with them, it never gets any easier, but you know how to deal with them. Or will you choose to do the hard thing? Will you choose to face newer, greater challenges that push your limits for a chance, just a chance, to become something great? Will you stand against the vast ocean of troubles that we all face and fight back? Fighting is hard and we all want our lives to be easy and fun, but that's the catch. What hero that you have respected has lived an easy life? I'll tell you right now none of them have. We all respect those who triumph in the face of overwhelming challenges and pain. So why are we so afraid to do so? You don't need to be afraid. Take your chance and stand against the ocean of trouble. Become a hero by fighting against pain and fighting trough your trouble.
