Poscars... "O Captain My Captain..."
Congratulations on your excellent performances today in the Poscars....
A Closing Thought...
In the movie, Dead Poet's Society, Robin Williams challenged his students "...to dare to be different, to strive to find their own voices, to dare to strike out and find new ground..." For this, he was fired from his job.... This last scene shows how his students showed that they would not forget his lesson and embrace life as he had taught them. "...the powerful play of life goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will YOUR verse be?"
