Whose words is their bond,
 Who put character above
wealth,
Who possess opinions & will,
Who are larger than their
vocations,
Who do not hesitate to take
chances,
Who will not lose their individuality in a
crowd,
Who will be as honest in small things
as in great things ,
Who will not compromise with wrong,
Who will not say they do it because
everybody else does it,
Who are true to friends in adversity as
well in prosperity,
Who do not believe the shrewdness,
cunning and hardheadedness are the
best qualities for winning success;
who are not ashamed and afraid to
stand for the truth when it is
unpopular;
Who can say “No” with emphasis
although all the rest of the world
say “Yes”;
Whose ambitions are not confined
to their own selfish desires;
 This I can say” Go and catch the firefly for it will
light the room during the night with its booming
light” and;

 WALK WITHOUT SHAME FOR WHAT YOU

DID IS RIGHT.
