Best years are yet to be lived
Thoreson
Last week, I attended the Senior Academic Awards and Recognition Program at Coeur d’Alene High School, my alma mater. I was there representing the Kootenai Electric Trust Board to present one of a dozen $2,000 scholarships, made possible by KEC’s Operation Round-Up program, to area students. Congratulations to CHS recipient Abigail Kendall.
I loved being in a room filled with such exceptional young people, on the cusp of launching into their next phase of life. Surrounded by family, friends and educators, it’s a time of celebration. I wanted to tell them not to worry, no matter what some say, these aren’t the best years of their life. They’re special years, but just wait until you’re viewing the world from decades in the future. There are many “best years” to come, high school is just a snapshot.
