The class of 2025 has selected a class motto: “Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.”
This quote, written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, was picked from many good quotes as the class of 2025’s class motto.
Joseline Juarez, the senior who submitted the quote, said, “I feel like a lot of seniors can relate to that quote just because we’re going through a lot of changes.”
Students applying to colleges and preparing for their future can be scary.
“I think that [the] quote reminds people that even if you’re scared to do something, you should still go after it,” said Juarez.
This quote, like the class mottos that have come before, will hopefully inspire seniors for their future graduation.
