Leah earned her first academic letter in 9th grade, and was recognized at a very nice, very short (32 minutes!) award ceremony this month.
The keynote speaker was a Valley alumnus and the executive director of Meals from the Heartland, one of our favorite local non-profit organizations. He shared some great words of wisdom for high schoolers- and everyone!
When life feels out of control, focus on the things you can control-
1. Your work ethic- work hard every day.
2. Your contributions to your team- communicate effectively and play your part well.
3. Your reputation- be trustworthy and dependable.
4. Your courage- be fearless and don’t be afraid to fail.
5 Your why- know the reason you are showing up today.
The only person you’re really competing with is you!
