Oh! The Places You’ll Go!--by the incomparable Dr. Seuss

Sometimes we forget to give our children a ton of inspiration enough to have them endure each day's negatives. We try hard at school but there are many challenges so its important for parents to fill them up with words of encouragement....enough to get them thru the day until they can get home and have you refill their confidence gas tank!!!
A great read for all, see the link to the side of this web page! We gave this book to my son as he graduated. Sound words regardless of their age, but let go we must!

"Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.

You’ll look up and down streets. Look’em over with care. About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.” With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down a not-so-good street.

And you may not find any you’ll want to go down. In that case, of course, you’ll head straight out of town. It’s opener there in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen and frequently do to people as brainy and footsy as you.

And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too.

Oh! The Places You’ll Go!"

Read the whole book at link provided.
