Hillbilly wisdom: Avoid getting caught up in the fake news and remember this: You will be limited most in life by yourself. There will be many distractions and even more opportunities to do less than you are capable.

Remarks made in public about the possible need to shut the Timbo Campus were an action. The reaction was Act 919, an election and the separation of the Campuses into three school districts. There was not a financial crisis. The financial crisis was fake news. As the adults fight over money, it might appear that the students or the educational process has been forgotten in this set of events. This also is not true. There is a level of interest in your education that goes beyond the administrative issues involved. The teachers, the parents and the community wants what is best for you. Really!

This is going to work out. Not everyone will be happy. But and let me emphasis this, each of you cannot be stopped. Your desires and dreams can be had if are willing to work for them. You may need to take charge of your situation. Let those adults know your needs. Do not hold yourself back.
