It has been my privilege to be your teacher. Moreover, I have learned from you and hope you leave junior year with some ideas that will empower you in the future. Remember :"salus populi est suprema lex." That water bottle will break; even at the time you may think it is unbreakable. Let us recall we are in the holy presence of God. Live, Jesus in our hearts,forever. Vox....
