Seniors you have done a wonderful job while at Miami Carol City Senior High School. It has been your entire educational career being spent in school and now you get an opportunity to go to college, trade school, or whatever possible endeavors you have intended after high school graduation. I know for the past 16 to 17 years you all have been like a young sparrow leaving the nest. You all have been waiting to move on with your life but the journey is not yet complete. You still have many mountains to climb and many more downfalls and many great things to look forward to. But while you may think that it is over you have four more years after a long 17 or 18 to give your life some prospective. Intelligence is seldom a tool for success; it is just one of the many tools necessary to accomplish greatness and integrity. Don’t think simply because you’re finishing high school with a 2.0 GPA and low test scores that life is automatically over. There are many alternatives such as trade school, technical school; even working at a warehouse is decent pay. Seeing this economical crisis any money is good money. No, let me rephrase that for any hot heads, “Any legal money, is good money”. Never live your life thinking about what you could have did, be all you can be and be the best at it. Never settle for nothing less than your very best. I am a sophomore and the thing I value and admire much about the “Class of 2009” is the togetherness that you’ll have amongst one another. It seems like all of you have your own ways of bonding and making connections. By far you all are the most mature group or class at Miami Carol City Senior High School. The underclassmen such as my class have not yet grew into maturity and still concern themselves with petty situations that will mean nothing 20 years from now. You all seem to have a grip on your grades and test scores and want to make it in life. Now that may be because you all began fearing not graduating, but with no fear comes lack of prosperity. So I appreciate how as a team you all stuck together and made it possible to believe and achieve greatness. The Senior Class is filled with dimes and lovely looking ladies (L.L.L.) along with respectful young men with character and intellect and athleticism. Speaking of athletes and intellectual people that attend Carol City, congratulations to football standout, Thaddeus Blue, and Honor Society Member, Aaron Rolle for getting accepted to the University of Florida. Go Chiefs! GO GATORS!
