Graduate: shares some of his life lessons
(From page 2)
TJ’s speech continued:
If you aren’t willing to
take chances, that’s okay, but
you may be missing out on
the possibility of a lifetime.
Back when I thought I
was cool, (some time ago I
might add), the phrase
YOLO seemed relevant.
As you know YOLO
stands for “You Only Live
Once.” This is true and for
those of you who are not
willing to take chances you
may live, but not truly live
life to the fullest.
Mistakes are your best
learning tools. Mistakes are
how we grow. “You need to
become comfortable being
uncomfortable.” When that
happens, growth happens.
Lesson four: The fourth
and final lesson Patches
taught me that I leave you
with today is this: No matter
how many times you get
knocked down, you must get
back up.
I’ll take you back in time
to when I dropped out of
school. I could have stayed
out of school. Instead I
chose to go back, earn my
diploma, and attend college.
I am a true testament that
no matter how long it takes
to get that degree, as long as
you work hard and stay com-
mitted, it is attainable.
I close with this.
No matter where you are
in life, regardless of age and
or ability, you can achieve all
your hopes and dreams.
If you follow my mother’s
four lessons (rest her soul),

anything and everything is
possible. I’m not saying that
if you follow these lessons
that life is going to be easy
or planned, I promise you
that you will be a better per-
son and help make the
world a better place to live.
Here we sit, ready to take
on the world. You truly are
inspiration to whomever you
cross paths with. Class of
2019, enjoy this day, enjoy
life’s next adventure and
most of all believe in your-
self and you can make the
difference in the world.
I am truly thankful for this
opportunity to speak, a
former high school dropout
turned college student, and
with help and support from all
my friends, family, co-workers,
and most of all my wife Marcie,
I stand before you a proud
Central Oregon Community
College graduate.
Thank you all for your
time and respect,
