    Ever wonder silly little things like why security is so tight, why we are not allowed lotion on airplanes, and why the luggages permitted on a airplane are so small that you are not even sure if you can fit a paperclip in your baggage?

    LaTasha grew up in a neighborhood that was in the middle--half good, half bad. She lived in a 3 bedroom house with her mom and her two sisters, Tiffany and Brittney. She was closer to her sisters, aunts and cousins more than her mom. On her father's side she was close to her dad's mom, her grandmother. LaTasha’s mother worked a lot; she left before they went to school and came home when LaTasha and her sisters came home from school. Growing up, her family never spoke of college. They never asked her what she wanted to be when she was older which was a pediatrician. During high school, Tasha hit honor roll a few times, but still college never came to mind.…

    It’s not that easy being green. It’s not that easy being a frog, either. Some would say that he is the most awesome amphibian of all time. Others would proclaim him a puppet above the rest. His name and footprints are on a star at Grauman’s Chinese Theater, a rare honor given only to the best in Hollywood. It’s an even greater leap for an amphibian. You guessed it. I am here today to honor Kermit the Frog, a well-mannered, always positive, funny, frog who left the life of a quiet, peaceful swamp in the bayou to take on the world with his green philosophy. To some Kermit is an icon of hope for a greener, cleaner world, and to others he is an inspiration towards acceptance and kindness to his fellow creatures on Earth. To ALL who have ever heard Kermit speak or sing, he is the voice of wisdom and encouragement when they just need a smile.…

    My mother was a child in the sixties and a teenager in the seventies. During this time, educational opportunities for women expanded, as well as female participation in sports, politics, and business. My mother decided to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher at Bridgewater State College. She says, “For me, it was never a question of going to college. It was an expectation.” She received an undergraduate degree in secondary education and English and a master’s degree in high school educational administration. For my mother, teaching was about empowering other girls to pursue their desired careers. She wanted to be a positive female role model for her students. Teaching has also given my mother opportunities to travel. She taught overseas in Greece at the American Community School and now regularly takes her classes on trips to Europe on school vacations. Recently, she has taken students to Italy, France, Germany, England, and Greece. Today, she teaches at Hopkinton High School. In contrast to her mother, Marie is a single mother with one child. Education allows woe to be more financially independent. A generation prior to my mother's, women simply could not afford to be single parents. As a clear example of how the times and expectations have changed, Marie states, “I wanted a daughter who could be a strong woman, for whom higher education wasn’t even a…

    Growing up I thought that our humble and modest life style was a normal life. However, it was in junior high school that I was rudely awakened to a cruel reality; my classmates made fun of me. I was the ugly duckling always sporting last season’s hand-me-downs. I seldom had money for class field trips and when I did attend a trip I had no spending money like everyone else seemed to have. At the end of the day, however, having money and things didn’t matter to me. Mother managed to keep us together and that’s what mattered most. I will always remember my mothers words; “don’t ever let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do, if you have a dream follow it until you fulfill it,” she said.…

    Over the years his real job has come with many different titles. For 50 years he has been a son and brother, for 31 he has been a loving father, for 26 he has been a dedicated husband, for 5 he has been a grandfather, and for 18 years and counting he has been and will always be my mentor. Today I would like to honor my father John Zachary Smith, and explain to you how and why he has become my mentor. Standing at exactly 6 feet tall, sporting dark black hair and tan skin, being loud, extremely talkative and radiating with energy, are just a few characteristics that can be attributed to his Italian heritage. When introducing himself to someone new, he reaches out his rough and calloused hand giving them a firm handshake and replies “My name’s John Smith, really honest”. My father has the ability to make friends with anyone because he is truly a real joy to be around. He sparks conversations with people and it would seem that were best friends.…
