Education is truly a hero's journey, and it seems to me that going to school is a lot like a Star Wars movie. You're all Luke Skywalkers or Lucy Skywalkers, whichever applies, and school is just one of the many places that you're going to receive your Jedi training. Because we need to get ready to go do battle against the Evil Empire. Now, the Evil Empire is not our school, our parents, or even the questionable meat products in the cafeteria. No. You see, the Evil Empire is a belief. It's believing that we have limitations. You don't. Whether you realize it or not, every single one of you is perfect. Norman Warner was my Jedi Master, And the greatest lesson that he taught me was that I was my own teacher, I was my own master. And the lesson that I hope to teach all of you is to not worry about what you're doing, because it doesn't matter. Worry about who you are being. You do that, And there's absolutely nothing stopping you from going out in this world and kicking some serious ass

education is truly a hero's journey
00:00:04.337 --> 00:00:05.546
And it seems to me that going to school
00:00:05.588 --> 00:00:06.922
is a lot like aStar Wars movie
00:00:06.964 --> 00:00:10.635
You're all Luke Skywalkers
00:00:10.676 --> 00:00:12.999
Or Lucy Skywalkers
00:00:12.052 --> 00:00:13.679
whichever applies
00:00:13.721 --> 00:00:15.055
And school is just one of the many places
00:00:15.097 --> 00:00:17.517
that you're going to receive your Jedi training
00:00:17.558 --> 00:00:19.644
'Cause we need to get ready to go do battle
00:00:19.685 --> 00:00:20.645
against the evil empire
00:00:20.686 --> 00:00:22.647
laughter
00:00:22.688 --> 00:00:26.999
Now the evil empire is not our school our parents
00:00:26.999 --> 00:00:28.486
or even the questionable meat products in the cafeteria
00:00:28.528 --> 00:00:31.614
No
00:00:31.656 --> 00:00:34.617
You see the evil empire is a belief
00:00:34.659 --> 00:00:36.577
It's believing
00:00:36.619 --> 00:00:38.413
that we have limitations
00:00:38.454 --> 00:00:39.455
You don't
00:00:39.497 --> 00:00:40.831
Whether you realize it or not
00:00:40.873 --> 00:00:44.585
every single one of you is perfect
00:00:44.627 --> 00:00:46.796
Norman Warner was my Jedi master
00:00:46.837 --> 00:00:49.757
And the greatest lesson that he taught me
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:51.551
was that I was my own teacher
00:00:51.592 --> 00:00:53.761
I was my own master
00:00:53.803 --> 00:00:55.888
And the lesson that I hope to teach all of you
00:00:55.093 --> 00:00:58.516
is to not worry
00:00:58.558 --> 00:01:01.936
about what you're doing 'cause it doesn't matter
00:01:01.977 --> 00:01:04.605
Worry about who you're being
00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:07.608
You do that and there is absolutely nothing stopping you
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:10.999
from going out in this world and kicking some serious ass
