S.B. asks from Blue Earth, MN on November 17, 2010
Quote/saying Help Please . . .
I am buying my daughter an IPad for her college graduation gift and it turns out that you can have them engraved for free :) There are two lines to engrave, and not very much room. I am looking for suggestion of what to put on it. I kind of like:
Graduation is not the end . . .
it is the beginning.
I don't know, it feels too "canned" for a personal sentiment. But I don't want to just do the "I'm so proud of you, Love, Mom" thing either.
I would love to hear your suggestions - just remember it has to be fairly short or it won't fit.
Thanks!

And so the next chapter of your life begins.
Oh the places you will go.....
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it, if you can dream it. you can become it.
