‘You must invest in your life; live purposefully excellent’ – EAPS Principal
She delivered remarks at the school’s graduation held on Friday June 27, 2014 at the Church of God of Prophecy in Huntum’s Ghut.
“You must invest in your life in order to be successful,” she said. “Good investments you can make in your life includes building your faith, eating healthy, getting adequate rest and exercise, reading, study and practice, helping others and your community, being a positive team member at home, in school and in any group that you join,” she charged.
“Don’t let this short list limit you,” she said. “The investments you have and will make in your life are endless and this list will change as you evaluate and set new goals throughout your life,” she said.
“The acronym L.I.F.E. means living intentionally for excellence. This means that in everything you do you must do it to the best of your ability. You’re going to be willfully, purposefully excellent,” said Ms Simmonds-Parsons.
“The goals your have already set are years and years ahead of you and there is must learning to do to get there,” she said.
“Every test you take, every project you complete is an investment in the bright future you have planned for yourself. So don’t take things lightly…don’t forget to turn in your homework, don’t put the project down until the night before,” she warned.
She explained that everyone is a genius and may have talents in different areas. “If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid,” she said. “You too are a genius in something. Find [it] and pursue it,” she said to the 2014 graduating class.
