Endure to the End
There is only one more full week in this school year. Students today were totally obedient and supportive, which is unusual for this last stage in the game of the school year. I have been stressing to the students the importance of enduring to the end, that finishers are wanted.
I received copies of the book "The 16 Quality Points of Academic Chamjpions, and I think it is beautiful. I wrote this book as a second edition, altering it somewhat from the volume last year. I plan to give each student a copy of thie book for the purposes of inspiring them to choose the right and to work hard to be academically successful.

Beginning or Ending
I saw a statement once that read, "It's not how you start a race that counts but how you finish." It reminds me of college athletics. For example, college basketball. At the beginning of the basketball season, polls come out ranking teams as number one, number two, number three, etc. Then at the end of the season, following March Madness, the national champion is declared. Would you rather be ranked number one at the beginning of the season or number one at the ending? I think we all know the answer. Thus, it's not so much where or how you begin, but how you perform during the season and where you finish at the end.
School is the same. It's more important how you perform during the school year and how you finish at the end of the school year rather than where and how you begin the school year.

Journey's End
We have only two more weeks of school, and this school year will end. June 30 is the last day, and then the very next day starts the new school year.
Students, endure to the end of the school year's journey. Finishers are needed. Be a finisher in order to achieve new and greater heights of achievement.
