PHS Graduation

Here are a few pictures from last night’s graduation ceremony. The class of 2009 was Pristhina High School’s first. Six young men and one young lady. After congratulatory speeches from three guests of honor, John Chesnut gave the main commencement address. His message was built around “six words” – Dream Big. Work Hard. Honor God. Six words that work for us all, really.

Our seniors flipped their tassels and left the ceremony while “Who Let the Dogs Out” played on the sound system. Hugs, photos, smiles, hugs...then we all gathered back inside the hall for appetizers, music and dancing. Some danced more than others, and some (Xhim) did not dance at all.

When your graduating class numbers seven, you have a pretty good connection with each of them. I taught them all this year and got to know them fairly well, and because of this I find myself wanting to stay in touch with them and keep up with their college endeavors…I hope I can follow through on this aim. God’s speed to each of you. Thanks for your brief part in my life – it was a pleasure. No homework tonight.
