Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Motivation

Motivational songs, lyrics, poems. During a graduation ceremony, they awarded students with 11.0 or higher for 3 years in middle school a special award in reocognition of a teacher who passed awy in 1999. Ultimately, with the theme of 11.0 or higher, grades are what are important to that. My motivation, Iron Maiden, Die with Your Boots On. Why such a song -- well, if you're going to die -- die fighting, prepared, putting your best efforts in your last breath. I'm not saying that you should want to exit Earth early, but if you fight to live -- achieve, you're more likely to be happier.

Graduation 2006

I get to experience this many times over this year ... neices and a nephew are graduating this year from high school and middle school (2 each).

I attended a neice's middle school graduation and when they passed it all out at the end, each student got a box. I was thinking in my head, "what's in the box?" (Brad Pitt voice here)
