"All About Those Books" (Created by high school students in Maine; are you all about those books?)
Students produce video to assure LGBT athletes: 'You Can Play'
I came across this video on the website of my sister's alma mater, Connecticut College (the Camels). Connecticut College was recently named "one of the most LGBT-friendly campuses in the country..." http://tinyurl.com/p448q5c

And I say to mankind, Be not curious about God,
For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God;
(No array of terms can say how much I am at peace about God, and about death.)
I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least,
Nor do I understand who there can be more wonderful than myself.
Why should I wish to see God better than this day?
I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then;
In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass;
I find letters from God dropt in the street—and every one is sign’d by God’s name,
And I leave them where they are, for I know that wheresoe’er I go,
Others will punctually come forever and ever.

Do you know how to do this?
Do you know how to do this?
Remember that, even though these people are really smart and creative, they are not gods. We can program computers to do amazing things, and if you know how to write code, that opens an infinite number of career doors. But we will never teach computers how to love, and love is the most important thing. Just remember it.

Should you go to college?
The below article says yes. At a minimum, you should finish high school. This will greatly increase your earnings, and decrease the likelihood you will be unemployed. However, note that this data is for workers aged 25 and over; therefore, it doesn't include most workers just out of college. Many recent graduates are saddled with massive student loan debt. The costs of college must be taken into account when making decisions about your post-high school plans.
