and to those who have shown and taught me to celebrate life to <strong>the</strong> fuIIest, to seize <strong>the</strong> day,
to be educated - not simply to fiII <strong>the</strong> mind with knowledge but to open <strong>the</strong> mind to all
possibilities, for learning produces change, change produces surprise and surprise, joy.
"I am a survivor <strong>of</strong>a concentration camp. My
eyes saw what no person should witness. Gas
chambers built by learned engineers, children
poisoned by educated physicians, infants killed
lJy trained nurses, woman and babies shot and
killed by high school and college graduates.
So 1 am suspicious <strong>of</strong>education. My request
is, help your students to be human. Your
efforts must never produce leamed monsters,
skilled psychopaths or educated Eikmans.
Reading and writing and spelling and history
and arithmetic are only imponant if<strong>the</strong>y serve
to make our students HUMAN. "
Quotation taken from a book by H Genard
"Each <strong>of</strong>us has a time for life.
There is a misconception that we haveforever.
In reality we have such a briefmoment in time
but remember even that briefmoment is yours.
It's yours to celebrate - to misuse it, to loose
it, is to devalue our greatest gift - <strong>the</strong> gift <strong>of</strong>
life.
It's our personal celebration with so much to
be joyous over, like <strong>the</strong> right to love, <strong>the</strong>
wonder <strong>of</strong> mingling with unique people, <strong>of</strong>
smiles, <strong>of</strong>hugging each o<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>of</strong>goodfood, <strong>of</strong>
flowers, <strong>of</strong> trees, <strong>of</strong> sunlight, <strong>of</strong> green grass
and cool summer breezes, <strong>of</strong> high flying
balloons - oh and so much more. This is our
time, <strong>the</strong> time <strong>of</strong> our lives. Don't miss a
minute <strong>of</strong>it, it passes so quickly. The time to
live and celebrate is NOW.•
