DON'T WAST A DAY
Don't let today get away from you. It is far too
precious to waste. Give the best of yourself to this
day and it will be with you always. Though the hours
will quickly pass and the day will end, the value you
put into it will go on and on.
Don't postpone your enjoyment of life for another
moment. Today is the day to bring the best of your
dreams to life. Do some of those things you've been
meaning to do. Get in touch with those people you've
been meaning to see.
Today is when you have the opportunity to make
something happen. Today is your time to live with all
the fullness you can imagine. This day is here now,
ready for you to fill with your own special value. Fill
it, live it, and make it one to always treasure.
Have a nice day.

cafeteria). 8:03 Arrive at school
