WOW W.G. GRADS ARE TALENTED
ACROSS THE BOARD.
THIS IS YOU GRAD JEREMY
WILLIAMS SINGING AN ORIGINAL
SONG FOR GRADS AT A RECENT
COMMENCEMENT AND RIGHT NOW WTU
IS CALLING ON ALL ITS GRADS TO
COME UP WITH AN ORIGINAL SONG
OF THEIR OWN TO CELEBRATE THE
SCHOOL'S TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY
HERE IN WASHINGTON, THE WINNER
GETS A ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR GIFT
CARD.
SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE BY APRIL
16TH.
WELL, IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING
A SHOW WE HEARD SO MANY
INSPIRING STORIES FROM STUDENTS
,PROFESSORS AND GRADUATES
OF YOU AS WELL AS LOCAL LEADERS
.
THE COLLECTIVE SPIRIT
OF POSITIVITY IS HOW WE CAN ALL
TAKE A STEP TOWARDS BUILDING A
BETTER FUTURE BEFORE WE LET YOU
GO, WE WANTED TO HEAR A FEW
MORE OF THEIR POWERFUL MESSAGES
AND TELL MYSELF THAT IT'S ALL
WORTH IT.
I WOULD TELL MYSELF THAT EVEN
IF YOU HAVE TO STAY UP, TELL
2:00 A.M. SOMETIMES IT FEELS
REALLY GOOD WHEN YOU FINISH AND
THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT NOT
ACTUALLY APPLY TO LIFE EVERY
SINGLE YOU KNOW, DATE THAT YOU
NEED TO MEMORIZE THE FACT THAT
YOU NEED TO MEMORIZE IT ALL HAS
AN IMPACT.
IT ALL TIES TOGETHER SOMEHOW.
I THINK THE NUMBER ONE REASON
TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL RIGHT NOW
IS THE FLEXIBILITY THAT YOU
HAVE IN YOUR OPTIONS.
THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
WITH THE ADVANCEMENTS IN
TECHNOLOGY YOU CAN BE IN CLASS
ANYWHERE.
YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO GO SIT IN
A PHYSICAL CLASSROOM.
I THINK THAT MAKES IT A PRIME
TIME TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL,
ESPECIALLY DURING EVERYTHING
THAT OUR NATION AND OUR WORLD
HAS BEEN THROUGH IN THE PAST
YEAR JUST BEING ABLE TO KIND
OF REFLECT ON LIFE AND REFLECT
ON GOALS AND SLOW DOWN A LITTLE
BIT AND KIND OF DISCOVER WHAT
WE'RE ACTUALLY PASSIONATE
ABOUT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TAKE THE
TIME TO THINK ABOUT THAT AND
YOU KNOW, THEN ACTUALLY DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT, IT CAN MAKE
A REAL DIFFERENCE.
IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO GET
MY FIRST DEGREE AND I WAS
ENCOURAGED AT MANY DIFFERENT
SPOTS ALONG THE WAY JUST TO
KEEP GOING AND THAT DID PROVE
TO BE THE SECRET SAUCE.
THE BEST EDUCATION ADVICE THAT
I'VE GOTTEN IS THREEFOLD.
ONE IS TO BE COURAGEOUS AND
TAKE THAT FIRST STEP BECAUSE
SOMETIMES THAT'S THE HARDEST
AND IS TO BE PERSISTENT AND TO
COMPLETE THAT DEGREE.
AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T
COMPLETED THEIR DEGREE THERE'S
STILL LOTS OF TIME TO REENTER
AND TO COMPLETE THAT.
AND THEN THIRD IS TO CELEBRATE
THAT SUCCESS, BUILD
RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS.
I THINK THAT'S KEY FOR AN
EDUCATOR TO BUILD A STRONG
RELATIONSHIP WITH STUDENTS.
STUDENTS TEND TO RESPECT YOU.
THEY TEND TO YOU WILL HAVE
BEHAVIORAL ISSUES IN THE
CLASSROOM AND IT JUST HAS TO
LEAD TO A BETTER RUN CLASSROOM.
I REALLY LIKE THE APPROACH THAT
YOU HAVE WHERE IT'S FOCUSED ON
SETTING A STUDENT FOR SUCCESS
AND FINDING WHAT MATCHES THEIR
LEARNING STYLE THE BEST AS
OPPOSED TO A PRE PRESCRIBED
FORMULA OR FORMAT.
IT HAS TO HAPPEN.
I FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
THAT I WAS TOLD ABOUT WHAT TO
EXPECT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN
EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN
EXPERIENCING.
SO IT'S BEEN A REALLY EXCITING
PROCESS FOR ME.
EDUCATION IS THE GREATEST
LADDER TO RISING IN THE
ECOSYSTEM OF OUR OF OUR COUNTRY
HERE AND LEARNING AND HAVING
MORE SKILL SETS ALLOWS YOU TO
MOVE UP THAT LADDER.
AND I THINK EVERY PERSON SHOULD
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MANY OF THOSE
TOOLS AND ASSETS THEY HAVE
ALONG THE WAY TO BECOME A
LIFELONG LEARNER, TO LEARN NEW
SKILLS AND TO BE ABLE TO MOVE
THROUGH THE ECOSYSTEM.
IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR THAT IT'S
NEVER A LONG TIME TO GO BACK TO
SCHOOL AND YOUR FIELDS LIKE
TECHNOLOGY ARE CONSTANTLY
EVOLVING SO EVERYONE NEEDS TO
HAVE SKILL AND REALLY LEARN
MULTIPLE SKILL SETS BECAUSE
EVERYONE NOW IS GOING TO HAVE
MULTIPLE CAREERS SO DO YOU FEEL
INSPIRED?
I KNOW YOU DO.
WELL THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL
OF OUR VIEWERS ACROSS THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOR JOINING
US FOR THIS SPECIAL HOUR.
WE HOPE YOU LEARN SOMETHING.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, LIKE I
SAID, I HOPE YOU FEEL INSPIRED
TO TAKE ACTION IN YOUR OWN LIFE
TO HAVE THE FUTURE YOU WANT AND
YOU DESERVE FOR MORE
INFORMATION ON WHAT WAS
DISCUSSED ON TODAY'S SHOW, TEXT
THE LETTERS WGI TO TWO OH SIX
FOUR FOUR EIGHT FORTY FIVE
