Show Are we ready to face the thereal thereal real world out there VERY year this college sends hundreds E EVERY out into reality After being here for a couple of years that is hard for some to face But luckily our teachers have tried to set us up for that big step Teachers Teachers many many scoff at that word but we think of it as more than a compliment ment ment-it ment it is an endearment Those women and men who spend their time pushing us to excel try to get us to learn just a fraction of the knowledge that is available to us They want to give as much as they want us to learn How do these people know they have gotten through to us Not by all th those se tests we have endured Not by all the essays essays essays es es- says we have written No No-by No by seeing us walk out those doors and stand on our own two feet To see us able to think out a problem by ourselves No many of those teachers may never see this happen but they all hope that it does That is what a college education is all about We might not remember everything we learned about and mitosis in biology But we can remember need water and light We might not remember what a is or why But we will remember y mx b. b We cannot remember all the great artists of the renaissance renaissance renaissance renais renais- sance but we will remember some of them We do remember Voltaire and Candide Candide Candide Can- Can dide and Rousseau and the rights of man In American history we learned all about the issues and problems of the American people and yet only a few of them stuck in our minds All those dates are lost somewhere in our term long-term memories and hopefully one of these days we can recall them Isn't that what we all hope for Yes teachers you worked hundreds of hours with students who are now ready to move on You poured barrels of facts problems and information into our brains Well some of it did stick and we just want to say thank you |
