Youth is like an open, half-written diary. The pages to the left filled with memories, the blank page before us the anxious confidant to which we entrust our present. And to the right are tomorrows waiting to be written. Every page turned is a new world conquered, a new future explored, a new page waiting. […] So now, we prepare to turn to another blank page. A future standing before us like a freshly-fallen snow, awaiting that first mark, that first forward footstep. A new journey to be started. A new promise to be fulfilled. A new page to be written. Go forth unto this waiting world with pen in hand, all you young scribes. The open book awaits. Be creative. Be adventurous. Be original. And above all else, be young. For youth is your greatest weapon. Your greatest tool. Use it wisely.
