College and Career Readiness Department Educational Equity Department The American lawyer and politician, William Jennings Bryan wrote, “Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of CHOICE; it is not a thing to be wanted for, it is a thing to be achieved.” By “Destiny” he meant our future. In other words, our future doesn’t come about by chance and isn’t something that merely happens. By the time you are finishing high school, you need to have an idea of what you want to do with your life. Make sure that you are making good decisions along the way about where it’s going. if you have questions, contact: Judy Petersen 385-646-4408 Tevita Sekeni 435-218-9283
