It is with great pride, and a somber sense of privilege that I write this e-mail. It occurs to me, this morning, what a great honor it truly is to be able to work among such a diverse and professional group of individuals. As we tackle this first Friday in October, we should all take a moment to pause and remember how lucky and blessed we truly are, to work in such a dignified and worthwhile profession. Each one of us has the opportunity to impact in some amazing way the life of at the very least one truly special young person. As you read this e-mail, look around your room, and acknowledge the beauty and worth that lies in the hearts of each of the students in your room.
Regardless of your politics, remember, as we work with these young people, WE, each and every one of us, is building a very special bridge, one that does not lead to nowhere.
Thank you, and Godspeed.
(The committee will be back on Monday, and that should hopefully mean that you all won’t have to put up with another of these syrupy-sweet quasi-lectures.)
