GRANAGH NOTES

LE  EXAMS:

 

Best of Luck and lots of prayers for all the students about to begin their exams.   For those of us who have come through it and survived, we can now say " it's only an exam " and we know that there will be many more milestones, just as important, in the years ahead.   However, at this juncture, it is the most important time of their lives.    Helen Steiner Rice always has suitable words for every occasion -

Often your tasks will be many, And more than you think you can do.

Often the road will be rugged, And the hills insurmountable too.

But always remember, the hills ahead, Are never as steep as they seem.

And with faith in your heart, start upward, And climb 'till you reach your dreams.
