Light only shines in dark places.
Life ages in the blink of an eye.
Only when you stop time can you truly treasure every moment.
So keep smiling, knowing that every word strings into a song, every breath you take is part of the melody, and every action transcribes a story.

Although I haven't gone astray,
I didn't intend to go this way.
But I won't be careful and follow the sea,
because I know I'll end up where I need to be.

If you don't make the mistake,
someone will.
If you do make the mistake,
know that someone already has.
Stop being afraid of being the first,
because either someone has, or someone will. 

Without heroes,
there wouldn't be miracles.

Without sacrifices made by brave people,
many would believe all humans are cynical.

Today, we honor those who never returned,
and thank those who have been changed forever.

We thank you for being loyal to the country you served,
and appreciate you and your endeavor.

Thank You Veterans for Your Service

I don't like to think too much, so I take the narrow path because then, I have a less chance of going back. 
The road less traveled is often one with many adventures.

 Your present actions decide who you'll be.
If you give, you will receive.
If you choose good, you will loose nothing.
​So choose right, and you will succeed.

Dear Teachers...
You hold out a hand,
you touch a heart,
you help a soul,
and lit the spark.
To inspire me truly
to never give up.
And to reach for the stars 
and to just never stop.
I really want to thank you
for everything that you do. 
You are a blessing,
you are a gift,
you are my teacher...
And I can't thank you enough for helping me grow.
And I can't forget what you did 
to change my world.

You can walk, talk, run, smile,
cry, laugh, mourn, strive,
break down, get up, reconcile,
make up, contrive,
you decide.
