 CONGRATULATIONS, GRADUATE

Even if we do not walk across a stage to applause

We are still graduates of the School of Life Experience

Perhaps you stopped punching holes in walls

Here is your degree in anger management

With a minor in drywall repair

Maybe you no longer get blotto on substances

When life gives you a hard time

You get an engineering degree in coping mechanisms

With a minor in practical philosopy

If we grow past any unproductive behavior

If we implement a better skill set, then congratulations

You get degrees in life skills, managing hazardous situations

And whole life development

Go forth, graduate, a new life and a community awaits

Your commitment to excellence
