Quiet tools, kept out of the way.
Graduation is a special day in a student's life, characterized by the tossing of caps and gowns, screaming crowds, and a burst of feelings. It is a combination of many years of effort, all-night studying, and the development of an individual. But graduation day is only a part of your school life, a large canvas of your memory. What about the numerous accomplishments, achievements, and events that led to the success? That is why school is not just about sitting in a class and struggling through exams. It is where kids learn, make friends, and even discover who they are. That is where people find out what they like and dislike, what they are good at and not good at, and where they meet their friends for life. One's academic accomplishments are valuable, but the process is even more so.
