The Lebanon Community School Corporation's meeting on May 31, 2025, highlighted the emotional and reflective nature of the upcoming graduation for the LHS Class of 2025. A key moment came when a speaker shared poignant life lessons inspired by the late Andy Rooney, emphasizing the importance of kindness, friendship, and personal growth.
The speaker engaged the audience with heartfelt observations, stating, "I've learned that being kind is more important than being right," and "everyone needs a friend to act goofy with." These reflections resonated with the graduates, reminding them of the value of relationships and the simple joys of life. The speaker also noted, "life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes," a metaphor that struck a chord as students prepare to transition into the next chapter of their lives.
As the Class of 2025 prepares to gather one last time as a group, the speaker encouraged them to embrace the challenges ahead, stating, "This class will climb many mountains and therefore will enjoy much happiness." The meeting served as a poignant reminder of the memories shared and the journeys yet to come, reinforcing the significance of this milestone in their lives.
