Menking said. Its all I can really see myself doing. Ive always loved little kids and helping them, Kuck said. Ive taught during Vacation Bible School at my church before and its exciting to see their faces when they learn something. Its just a wonderful feeling to know that youve put that smile on their face. Both girls are also daughters of A&M graduates. Their fathers earned their degrees in College Station. Since my dad went there, Ive grown up being an Aggie, Menking said. I love it. Whenever I visit the campus, I feel like Im home. Ive always loved the
Similar actions will generally produce similar results. Thats the case this year for the two top graduates at Gonzales High School. Mary Liz Menking and Lindsey Kuck have earned the prestigious titles of Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the Class of 2012. They are the daughters of Glenn and Sarah Menking, and Michael and Barbara Kuck. Of course I was definitely excited because Ive been working really hard for four years now, said Menking about her reaction when she learned the news.
time working hard on their academics, both girls are heavily involved in extracurricular activities. Menking has been a drum major of the Fighting Apache Band for the last two years, where she plays french horn. Kuck became president of the 4H Club this year after serving as its secretary. Both girls are also members of the Anchor Club, Future Scientists Club, Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society), National Honor Society, Leo Club and the Interact Club where Kuck is president and Menking is vice president. You have to set aside time for each thing you have and hope it works
out, said Kuck explaining her time management strategy. I know I havent been able to give as much of myself as I wanted to each club Im a part of. Its hard, Menking said. You lose sleep a lot, thats for sure. You just have to know whats important and what needs to get done first. The duo, who are best friends, has enjoyed spending so much time together in the past that theyve decided to do so in the future. Both will be attending Texas A&M University, where they will major in Interdisciplinary Studies in hopes of teaching one day. I grew up a teachers kid so I know what its like,
tradition and the family feeling you get when youre there, said Kuck. When youre around another Aggie, you just automatically bond. While both girls are excited about what the future holds, they readily admit graduation will be a bittersweet moment. Its been fun going to school here, Menking said. Im sad to see it end, but I guess its time to move on. All four years I said I was going to be ready to leave, but I think Im definitely going to miss this when Im gone, Kuck said. Especially all of the people that I see everyday that Im not going to get to see anymore.
Graduation day is an important milestone. Many noted people have waxed eloquent on the subject of graduation. If you are looking for a famous graduation quote to fuel the fire within you, try a few these: Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Ralph Waldo Emerson A man who has never gone to school
may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad. Theodore Roosevelt Study hard; and you might grow up to be President. But lets face it: Even then, youll never make as much money as your dog. George Bush The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future. Plato
From kindergarten to graduation, I went to public schools, and I know that they are a key to being sure that every child has a chance to succeed and to rise in the world. Dick Cheney A professor is someone who talks in someone elses sleep. W. H. Auden I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. Mark Twain
Life is my college. May I graduate well, and earn some honors! Louisa May Alcott Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing worth knowing can be taught. Oscar Wilde Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Congratulations! I hope your senior year of high school was a mesmerizing experience. The chapter closes and now another one has to open. What is it going to be like? Well, being that I wasnt invited to share my thoughts at your high school commencement, I decided to give my thoughts here in my blog. I hope you enjoy and take it seriously. 1. Go to college and further your education Dont pay too much for your education. Avoid student loans to avoid debt. Go to community college and get your general classes out of the way. Know that a degree alone doesnt assure you success in the real world. 2. Its not about you Employers dont care if you are happy. Employers dont care about your income. Employers dont care about what you think. Employers dont care about anything that has to do with you. Its about them and being profitable 3. Create Personal Value A company cares about what you bring to the table. You have to create more money for the company than what you cost the company. You have to have professional value in the workplace. If you dont have value you will be passed over and they dont care about your parents phone calls. 4. Responsibility Life, Results, Success, Happiness, Health, Prosperity, Relationships, etc.
Do good and you get the credit. Do bad and you get the blame. If your life sucks, thats because you suck. Learn not to suck at life. Its not your friends, parents, co-workers, employers fault in anything youve done. 5. Respect Others Respect people enough to show up when you say you are going to show up. Respect your employers enough to be there on time and stay late. Respect your bosss even though you think they are idiots because he/she is still your boos and deserves your respect. Respect your co-workers so they will respect you and your customers because they pay you. Respect people in general and you will get respect. People arent as stupid as you think they are. Seek first to understand than to be understood. 6. Clearly Define Priorities Your time, money, and priorities always go to what is important to you. If looking cute is important then you will spend your money at the mall. If financial security is important than you will learn to save and live on less than you earn. Time management isnt just two words in this blog. They are traits of a leader and a person of character. 7. Work Hard and Be Great Its not about passion people are passionate about things they suck at. You dont get paid to be happy on the job, youre paid to do your job perfectly. Work Hard at what you
are good at, not what you arent good at. You cant work hard and not be good because then you suck and your working too hard. 8. Change Your Attitude There are Three Questions you will ask yourself every day when you lay your head on the pillow. Three things you want to say, Yes to Is my life Meaningful? Is my life Rewarding? Is my life Fulfilling? If you cant answer, Yes to these questions than your purpose isnt clearly defined and your goals arent big enough. Life of Gratitude, not Attitude. Say Thank You 30 times a day. 9. Seek Advice and Wisdom from those with Experience Listen more than you talk. Listen to your elders. Discover what is really important 10. Take Time To Think There is a lot to really think about amidst the concerns of leaving the comforts of home and the chillaxing life of being a senior. Now you have to become responsible and selfsufficient. Make it happen! Jeff Yalden is a youth motivational speaker and teen experts that shares his message, About Life to over 150 high school assemblies and middle school assemblies every year.

Rawls, Bermea top two Trio receives top grad grads at Nixon-Smiley honors at Waelder HS

Its been said that one of the traits all successful people have in common is tremendous drive. If thats indeed true, then incredible success is inevitably in the works for Ashley Ellen Rawls, who is the Valedictorian for Nixon-Smiley High Schools Class of 2012. Blessed with the rare combination of brains, beauty and a great sense of humor, Rawls gave a unique response when asked how she felt when she learned she would finish at the top of her class. I guess it means I did something right, she said with a laugh. Ive always been kind of an overachiever, but ever since I was little I can remember this being something that I really wanted. I finally made it. Rawls is not your typical teenage girl, so it has no surprise that she announced she would be going to college at the University of Texas San Antonio to pursue an unusual major - neuroscience. When I was in elementary school and the teacher asked everybody what they wanted to be, she recalled. I said then that I wanted to be a neuroscientist. Its just pretty much always been in my head. I remember when I was learning how to read and I came across the word while I was flipping through the dictionary. I read about it and at that point, I knew I had found my lifes dream. Like most seniors, Rawls admitted to occasionally succumbing to the strain associated with high school but she credited her parents, John Rawls, Jr and Esther Rawls, for being a constant source of encouragement. High school has been stressful because I had goals that I was determined to accomplish, she said. That pressure was never put on me by anyone else, its just something that I believe I was born with. My parents have always supported me and helped to keep me focused. Being able to graduate at the top of your class is about achievement and at-

When speaking of top honors for a graduating class, your mind automatically thinks this is a reference to the Valedictorian and Salutatorian, the top two finishers. The situation is a little different at Waelder High School this year. Cody Orona has the top GPA in his class, but because WISD policy states a student must be enrolled in at least six semesters, he was not eligible to be named Valedictorian. Im still recognized as the top graduate, I just dont get the title, he explained. Everywhere I applied I was still able to put down my class rank as number one, so it was as good as it could be without having the title. The importance of a good education is something his parents, Rudy and Deanna Orona, harped on ever since Orona was of school age. From very early on, my family instilled the importance of academics in me, he said. When I started first grade, I went to a private school in San Marcos and they taught on a grade above level the grade you were in. The building blocks were set really early for me so when I came back to public school, I had a foundation and already knew academics was the way to go. Orona has already landed a four-year scholarship worth $215,000 to the Merchant Marine Academy. An integral member of the Waelder basketball team for the past two seasons, he will also get a chance to play in college although his primary focus will be on getting his degree. Plenty of athletes have had injuries and not had anything to fall back on, Orona said. Academics are going to be with you for the rest of your life no matter what. Orona hasnt narrowed down which particular field he will go into after graduation, but it will likely be lucrative since the academys alumni generally land jobs averaging $80,000 per year. Id rather work on the transportation side on a ship or in the port of har-

thought I would actually get it, but here I am. It means a great deal. I started getting on this path my junior year, so my goal was to get all As from then on. The son of Juan Castillo and Linda Garcia, Anto-
nio has chosen to forego college, but will instead become a member of the United States Air Force. He said his high school experience at Waelder is something he will always cherish. Waelder High is a good school, he said. I like that its small so you get a
chance to know everybody and the faculty helps you out a lot. Mr. (Jon) Cardenas has done a lot to help me prepare for the Air Force as far as getting everything in order. The class Salutatorian, Matilde Vela, said she has the distinct honor of doing something unprecedented
for her family. My parents didnt finish high school and neither did my brothers, she said. My sister finished, but she skipped college and went straight into working. By graduating as Salutatorian, it means a lot to me because I will be the first member of my family to at-
tend college. Vela said watching the struggles of her parents, Maria and Jose Vela, and four siblings inspired her to achieve. I mostly did this for my mom, she said. Since I was little, shes always encouraged me to do my best in school.
Shes always been there because shes wanted the best for me. I want her to be happy by seeing me succeed. Vela will attend the University of Texas San Antonio and pursue a degree in Nursing, which she hopes to parlay into a job working at a childrens hospital.

cumstance Marches. He is perhaps best known for the first of the marches, which went on to be simply named, Pomp and Circumstance, or The Graduation March. Since 1905, it has been use at virtually all high school and university graduations in America. The first time Pomp and
Circumstance was played in a graduation setting was when Elgar received an honorary Doctorate from Yale University in 1905. At the end of the ceremony, the march was performed as recessional music. It was so well-received that it was soon expected to be played during graduation ceremonies at many other prominent schools. Today it is rare to hear
The Graduation March played outside of commencement ceremonies. Many graduates have fond memories of hearing Pomp and Circumstance at their school commencement, even remembering the exact moment they received their degrees. For those attending a graduation ceremony in the near future, expect to hear this powerful march.
Congratulations Graduates!

may want to consider a collared shirt under the gown for a crisp and professional look. The cap, also known as a mortar board, is a hat with a flat, square top. The color of the cap may tie into the color of the gown, or it could be a complementary school color. Sometimes it is a neutral black. The cap should be worn so that the board is parallel to the shoulders. It should not be tipped or worn on the back of the head. Hairstyles may have to be adjusted so that the cap is placed correctly.

cap fits snugly. It should also be placed so that one of the points is directly in front. If looked at from above, the cap would form a diamond shape. A button should be at the top of the cap where the tassel is attached. The tassel is looped around the button and, in most instances, worn to one side of the face. Most schools require the tassel be on the right side of the face. Once students receive their diplomas and have been declared graduates, it is customary to move the tassel over to the left side of the face. Here it will remain until the cap is removed after the ceremony. A hood is worn when a graduate will be receiving a degree. It is more common at college graduations than high school ceremonies, where the hood will be more of a diploma scarf. The
hood should be placed over the head so that it drapes off the shoulders and down the back of the graduation gown. Hoods are colored in certain ways to draw attention to the area of specialization of the degree and also to the type of degree received. They will often be made from velvet and have a silk lining. The lining should be turned out down the back so that the color identifying the degree and school are prominently displayed. There may be a cord attached to the front of the hood. This cord can be attached to a shirt button or the zipper of the gown to keep the hood from slipping out of place. Although graduation clothing may seem out of place in this day and age, the formality and custom of donning a cap, gown and hood is something that further emphasizes the importance and tradition of the ceremony.
