My grandmother only had an 8th grade education. My dad was a high school dropout. So was my mom. I was the first person in my family to graduate high school in 4 generations.
I was valedictorian of my graduating class.
Dream big. Work hard. Persevere.
You’re only limited by your imagination and your drive.
Congrats, Jose! Do NASA proud!

Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow only a vision. But, every today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

The only difference between the difficult and the impossible is that the impossible takes more time.

Anyone who says that nothing is impossible has no imagination.

One of my favorite quotes,
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Hipster, what is wrong with Joe’s life? It doesn’t hurt you or anyone else, so leave him alone. Jose, might want to have NASA take extra long looks at Atlantis, Discovery, and Endeavor before you launch. Better still, start work on new ones.

Duct tape, the force that holds the universe together.
LibrarianInTraining about 15 years ago
Carmy, beautiful. There is nothing more inspiring!
Since I’m already well familiar with the concept on a personal level, I choose:
THIS is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!
And that means everyday!
Have a great day, everyone!

Margueritem, actually, Duct Tape is very much like the Force in Star Wars. Not only does it hold the universe together, but it has a Light side and a Dark side, and it’s very important to remember which is which because it could end in disaster if you don’t!
lol ;)
