Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year. I'm excited about what this year has in store for each one of you. As Martin Luther King stated in his speech "I Have a Dream," I have a dream as well. King's dream was related to equality for all no matter the color of your skin. My dream is similar that all of my students have an equal opportunity to succeed and become self-sufficient. In order for my dream to become reality, you must graduate. My goal is to do everything within my power to help you to be able to walk across that stage whether it's a year or two years from now knowing that you have the skills you need to attend a junior college or university.
Nothing worth having, in this case your diploma, will come easy. It will require hard work, dedication, and a positive attitude. As you move toward achieving your dream as well as mine, we will cry together, laugh together, and succeed together. So you see failure is not an option. So let the dream begin and not stop until it becomes a reality!
