Jack's Graduation ceremony was very special. His teacher, Ms. Roop, held back the tears as she presented each student with a "guide box". She told each student to keep the lid of the box closed. Then she told the students that the box would help guide them if they were ever confused or lost ... and before the graduates were told to open their boxes, she said, "And every one of your guide boxes contains something different, but its the most precious thing in the world ... you may now open your guide boxes ...", You can imagine what was racing through the children's minds.
Jack took a puzzled look in his box, scratched his head, then took a peek in his friend's box, and paused. Finally, he warned his teacher, "Uh, Ms Roop, both of our boxes only have a mirror in it?".
Big Laughs!
Here are the closing words from the Ceremony,

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
