CONGRATULATING THE CLASS OF 2015
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, over the last few weeks, many families have
proudly watched their sons and daughters receive their high school
diplomas at ceremonies across North Carolina. On Saturday, I cheered as
my grandson Kenan walked across that stage and graduated from Watauga
High School.
These new graduates have been blessed with some wonderful teachers.
They have learned a great deal--lessons in math, science, history, and
literature--but they have also learned lessons in self-discipline,
compassion, patience, and understanding.
This learning didn't all take place in the classroom. Much of it was
learned at home with their families, out with their friends, on the
football field, during summer jobs, and even in brief interactions with
unexpected people.
The choices ahead of them are many, and the road to success will have
its detours, but they can be anything they want to be by meeting every
challenge with integrity and determination.
The class of 2015, set your goals and find your dreams.
Congratulations.
