What does this mean to you?
To me, this means not doing things that have been done before. You are you for a reason. So share it with the community and those around you. Because God made everybody different for a reason. Be Not Afraid because God walks with you through everything. Do what you love, and do it well.

In one sentence what would you like to say to your fellow students to convey your pride in your College?
Stick fat to the school work. Play time is for outside of school. Everything you do now will absolutely, without a doubt, benefit you in your future endeavours. Don’t waste your parents money or time. Don’t waste the teachers time. Put your head down and work. You can do anything. Be not afraid. Take risks. But do what you love; and be the best at it.
Also, its nice to be important, but its important to be nice. Always.
