I saw this book By Dr. Seuss, "Oh, The Places You' ll Go" every day laying out by a stack of books. I never paid any attention to it, untill yesterday morning when I heard my wife read it out loud while I was trying to watch the morning news. This line "And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” really got my attention. I sat there quietly and listened to the very end.
My daughter had specifically requested this book as a high school gradution gift from us to her. Now, I understand why she requested.
I want to share the last few lines of the book.
"And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)
KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!”
-Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!
It is really not the school where your child goes that makes things happen, it is the child that make it happen.
