Congregation will respond with the word ducks and we can fly and a little duck creature with clothes with a little duck prayer and then all the little ducks waddle back home you can say what you want repeat all the good things that you've heard and shout it to the top of your lungs but unless you believe really believe and act you will never fly it's time to act and believe believe and act to really believe in yourself and why you know and live life is feeling the message that has been interested in you by teachers and Educators you were not going to live ordinary meaningless lives you have been given gifts abilities unreal potential and passion to Live Extra ordinary lives secondly there's an old well-known story of a chicken farmer who found an eagle's egg he put it with the chicken and the egg hatch the young Eagle grew up with all the all the chickens and whatever they did the eagle did too he thought he was a chicken just like them since the chickens could only Fly for a short distance to Eagle also Learn to Fly for a short distance he thought that what he was supposed to do so that was all that he thought he could do as a consequence that was all he was able to do one day the eagle saw bird flying high he was very impressed who is that he has two hands around him that's the eagle the king of the birds the hens told them he belongs to the sky we belong to the Earth we are just chickens and died as a chicken but that's what he thought he was I want to encourage you again today that you are an eagle you may have been brought up in a situation that limited your understanding of your potential what is time now for the past to lose his hold on you don't. Thinking you're a chicken so I high just as you were meant to be all that you are meant to be choose today to be a chicken adult or an eagle and understand that it is your choice either way it's your time to fly always remember you are destined and purpose for greatness it how spend my esteem pleasure serving as your proud principal for the last 2 and 1/2 years and I know you will do well in your
