* Elementary education:
Education is one of the few
careers that continues to
grow and provide good options for applicants. Although
good teachers are an asset to
future students and workers,
a teacher earns the lowest
starting salary of the most
popular majors, averaging
just $29,500.

* College may open up
opportunities for internships,
which offer hands-on experience in particular fields.
* College can help develop social skills that are

* Generally college graduates earn higher salaries than

When students go on to
college, there are some majors that prove more popular
than others. But the most
popular makers don’t always
ensure the best-paying or
most rewarding jobs. According to CareerBuilder.com,
here are the more popular
college majors and what they
generally pay in salary.
* Biology: A biology degree is often the first step in
a career in medicine. Biologists may specialize in biochemistry and pharmaceuticals, which may offer careers
that pay a little more. Biology
majors can expect to earn between $39,000 to $45,000.
* Business Administration: These graduates are
often in the right path for careers in real estate and infrastructure of big companies.
These grads often go on to

Thousands of high schoolers will be graduating in a
few weeks and many will
be going on to college in the
fall, a decision that may have
been difficult to make.
When pondering their
futures, high schoolers may
wonder whether college is
necessary and a smart choice
for success. Although every
student is different and there
are scenarios that can affect
anyone’s future, the decision
to attend college is generally
beneficial. It often opens up
doors and opportunities in
the workplace that a high
school diploma alone cannot. Here are some things to
consider:

others to have a specific concentration, such as adolescent counseling or teaching.
Starting salaries are around

buy books, food and cover
their social expenses. Parents
might not want to give their
favorite new grads money
for graduation, but such a
gift makes perfect sense for
aunts, uncles or other distant
relatives.

rooms are any thing but
roomy, but college-bound
grads are still going to need
some furniture. Consider
functional furniture, such as
bins, organizers or a new
computer chair, that might
not be as glamourous but
will be useful and effective.

Good Gift Ideas For Your
College-Bound Graduates
Graduation season is right
around the corner and scores
of high schoolers are preparing to leave the nest for the
first time. Parents of high
school seniors often want to
find a gift that both symbolizes the significance of graduation and proves useful in the
fall when kids take their first
step onto a college campus.
Though most high school
kids would love a new car for
graduation, such a gift is not
within reach for most parents
nor is it practical, as many
colleges don’t allow incoming freshmen to have cars
on campus. While they might
not be a new car, the following gifts can put a smile on
a new grad’s face and prove
useful at college, too.
* Gaming console: Gamers may love to pack the latest gaming console among
their belongings when they
head off to college this fall.

Though parents might want
their kids hitting the books
instead of playing video
games, a gaming console can
provide a welcome respite
for college kids stressing out
over their studies. In addition, gaming consoles can be
great ice-breakers, providing
the avenue by which incoming freshmen can meet and
befriend their fellow dorm
dwellers. Some interactive
gaming consoles, including
the Nintendo Wii, can even
help freshmen fight off the
infamous “Freshman 15,” by
encouraging physically active
gaming.
* Television: Like gaming
consoles, new televisions
make great ice-breakers at
college. Chances are, your
favorite high schooler has
grown accustomed to Mom
and Dad’s home theater system. While kids likely won’t
be able to fit such a system
in their dorm room, a flatscreen TV can fit into any
dorm room and give freshmen a little home away from
home.
* Computer: Today’s computers are more affordable
than ever, and every incoming freshman can make good
use of a new computer.
When shopping, keep laptop computers in mind, as
kids can take laptops along
with them to class and study
groups. If grads already have
a new or relatively new computer, consider upgrading the
computer’s accessories. For
example, a new set of computer speakers can increase a
computer’s functionality and
might even serve as a less
bulky home theater system.
* Money: Though it’s not
incredibly personal, money
is a gift no college-bound
recent graduate will turn
down. Kids are going to
need money more than ever
before while they’re at college, where they’ll need to

online will not be missing out
on a thing; they will receive
instruction from the same
nationally recognized faculty
members who teach on campus, and they will come away
with the same thorough understanding of theory and
practical technique that will
pay dividends in their professional and personal lives.”

Congratulations, Graduates!
for Conflict Management represent some of the leading
minds in the field, coming
to Nashville from all corners
of the country to teach their
classes. In addition to the nationally distinguished faculty,
Lipscomb University has built
its reputation in the conflict
management field in two
other key ways:
*ICM classes present a
blend of theory and practical
applications, whereas most
other conflict management
schools focus on one or the
other.
*Unlike other conflict
management programs that
are included within a law
degree, the tenets of conflict
resolution at Lipscomb are
part of the very fabric of the
university; drawing students
in fields ranging from theology to business to human resources who all take classes
at the institute.
The institute was created

Now What?
The title of valedictorian
is an honor that only one
person receives every year.
Planning the right speech requires forethought and creative ideas.
The person in school who
receives the highest grade
rank is named the valedictorian and it is customary for he
or she to give a speech at the
commencement ceremony.

the speech.
Here are some ideas to
consider when drafting a
valedictorian speech.
* Be short and to the
point. Chances are there
will be a number of different
speakers on commencement
day. Attendees will appreciate brevity.
* Use a current point of
reference, such as acknowledging something making
headlines or a favorite celebrity, as a way to break
the ice. Be sincere and try to
inject some humor into the
speech. As a speaker you can
refer to this initial quote or
mention at the summary of
the speech as well.
* Talk about what the
school has provided for
you and favorite moments
throughout the last few
years. Then open up the
speech about how friends
and fellow graduates made
the experiences even more
poignant.
* Be sure to thank teachers and mentors who played
a role in your success. Feel
free to call out a special person who went above and beyond to help make you the
person you are today.
* Praise fellow classmates
and their accomplishments.
* Talk about plans for the
future and refer to how the
education provided offers a
stable basis for jumping off
into jobs and future projects.
* Thank your audience for
their time.
* It’s a good idea to do
a few practice runs of the
speech and ask for opinions from fellow classmates.
Congratulations,
Use their advice on making
changes or what points can
use a little more tweaking.
* Get a good night’s rest
prior to the graduation ceremony and eat a meal so that
you are energized and ready
to our special graduate,
Shelby Gooding!
Your hard work and dedication
have gotten you
where you are today.
Be proud of yourself, graduates.
We wish you all the best on
Graduation Day and beyond.

It’s nearly impossible
to attend a graduation ceremony and not hear the
processional, “Pomp and Circumstance.” The march has
become a graduation staple,
but the tune was actually
written for a different purpose. Sir Edward Elgar is the

composer behind “Pomp and
Circumstance,” which was
named after a line from William Shakespeare’s “Othello.” Sir Edward composed
the song in 1901, and the
march was intended for the
coronation of King Edward
VII. When Elgar received an
honorary doctorate from Yale
University in 1905, the march
was played in his honor as a
recessional. Once Yale used
the march, other universities
began to play the march as
well. Eventually it became
the trendy thing to do and
“Pomp and Circumstance”
became forever ingrained
in graduation custom. Today
it is hard to imagine a commencement ceremony without the famed processional
and the requisite cap, tassel
and gown.
Did you know this?
According to a 2010 study
conducted by researchers at
the Sleep and Neuroimaging Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, a
midday nap might just make
you smarter. The study was
conducted with the help of
39 college students, each of
whom was asked to learn
a series of new names and
faces at noon and match the
faces a few minutes later.
The same test was then performed at 6 p.m. that same
day. A group of the participants who took a nap at 2
p.m. performed better than
those students who did not
nap. The latter group, in fact,
had a significant decline in
memory test scores. Researchers credit the nap with

What To Wear Beneath
That Graduate Gown
Each school and age-old
tradition will dictate what
color cap and gown a graduate will wear, but it is often
up to the graduate when it
comes to what is underneath
the gown. There are some
choices graduates can make
to be comfortable and classy.
Graduation ceremonies
generally take place in the
summer, when it can be
quite warm. Combine this
with a polyester graduation gown and several hundred people squeezed into

Graduation Garb, Colors
An Historical Tradition
The graduation cap and
gown is a tradition dating
back to the 12th and 13th
centuries. The Committee
on Academic Costumes and
Ceremonies adopted rules
regarding style of dress and
academic discipline colors
that would signify areas of
study and the degree that
was received in America. European standards may differ.
While the standard color
for academic gowns is black,
many colleges and universities are known to adopt the
school colors. Trimming and
tassel colors may coordinate
to the specifications regarding academic degrees.
Individuals receiving a
Bachelor’s degree will have
a gown with pointed sleeves.

credit the study with showing that the brain’s ability
to absorb new information
declines over the course of a
typical day.
When a person naps,
that decline seems to be reversed. However, researchers
noted that college students,
who generally do not get

should be made with climate
in mind.
In general, it is in good
taste for women to wear a
conservative dress or a skirted suit. A collared blouse can
look tailored beneath the
collarless neck of the graduation gown and won’t leave
a gap of open skin between
the graduation gown and the
issued graduation hood. If a
dress or skirt is worn, panty-
hose finish the look because
the graduation gown ends at
the calf and a portion of the
legs will be showing. Gentleman can wear a collared
dress shirt and slacks with
dress shoes.
Students should avoid
shoes that are loose or have
high heels. They can present a tripping hazard when
traversing the auditorium,
football field or scaling steps

Wear comfortable shoes that
fit well and practice walking

practical.
Some students choose
to be unique by wearing
flip-flops and shorts. While
this certainly can make a
statement, it sets the wrong
mood for the event and will
probably be frowned upon
by administrators. Wait until later to change into party
garb and enjoy the last summer vacation before college

Students should be wellgroomed, shaven (for men),

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still
good.
2. When in doubt, just
take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to
waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won’t take care
of you when you are sick.
Your friends and family will.
Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards
every month.
6. You don’t have to win
every argument. Agree to
disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s
more healing than crying
alone.
8. It’s okay to get angry
with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement
starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to
chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your
past so it won’t screw up the
present.
12. It’s okay to let your
children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your
life to others. You have no
idea what their journey is all
about.
14. If a relationship has
to be a secret, you shouldn’t
be in it.
15. Everything can change
in the blink of an eye. But,
don’t worry. God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It
calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that
isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill
you really does make you
stronger.
19. It’s never too late to
have a happy childhood. But
the second one is up to you
and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life,
don’t take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use
the nice sheets, wear the
fancy lingerie. Don’t save it
for a special occasion. Today
is special.
22. Over prepare, then go
with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now.
Don’t wait for old age to
wear purple.
24. The most important
sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of
your happiness but you.

Community College Steelcase Scholarship; an Ardmore Veterans
Scholarship; Order of the Eastern Star Scholarship; Parmenas

2010. (YCS photo by Patti Stagner)
26. Frame every so-called
disaster with these words “In
five years, will this matter?”
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people
think of you is none of your
business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad
a situation is, it will change.
32. Don’t take yourself so
seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or
didn’t do.
35. Don’t audit life. Show
up and make the most of it
now.
36. Growing old beats the
alternative ~ dying young.
37. Your children get only
one childhood.
38. All that truly matters
in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day.
Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our
problems in a pile and saw
everyone else’s, we’d grab
ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of
time. You already have all
you need.
42. The best is yet to
come...
43. No matter how you
feel, get up, dress up, and
show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn’t tied with a
bow, but it’s still a gift.
Your hard work and dedication have paid off.
You’ve made us all proud. Good Luck and Best Wishes
for the future! May all your hopes and dreams come true!
