"Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. And if you really wanna see what people are, all you have to do is look."

"My Mom always said... "If you don't like where you are... just picture where you wanna be.""

"Dear Mr. Tushman, I'm sorry for punching Julian. That was wrong of me to do that. I know you may need to expel me, but, I'd still rather not say why I did what I did. It might get Julian in trouble, too, and that's not fair. Sincerely, Jack Will."

"Dear Mr. Will, One thing I've learned in 20 years in education is that there are two sides to every story, so I think I can imagine what started the fight. While nothing justifies striking another student, I know good friends are worth defending. So, after your two-day suspension, your scholarship will be waiting for you. So, just keep up the good work, and keep being the fine boy we all know you to be. Sincerely, Mr. Tushman."

"The final award this morning is the Henry Ward Beecher Medal to honor students who have been notable or exemplary. Usually, it's a "good works," a service award. But I came upon a passage that he wrote, which made me realize that good works come in many forms. "Greatness," he wrote, "lies not in being strong, but in the right using of strength. He or she is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own." Without further ado, this year, I am very proud to award the Henry Ward Beecher Medal to the student whose quiet strength has carried up the most hearts."

"You can't blend in when you were born to stand out."
