adviseBy Cindy O. HermanFor The Daily Item

What are you going to do now?

A lot of gradu-ates hate that question. How are you supposed to know, at 18, what you’ll be doing for the rest of your life?

Would it help to hear from some people who were in your shoes 10 years ago? Check out these local graduates, all valedictori-ans of the Class of 2005, and their advice to today’s high school seniors.

education, with a minor in math

Today: sixth-grade math teacher at Hershey Middle School, Hershey

Influential high school teachers: Chemistry teacher Deborah Smeltzer “made you work really hard. I think that helped me to be ready for college,” Gorman said. Michael Conn, history, ran events like Dress-up Days, where students could earn ex-tra points by researching and dressing as a histori-cal character. “He was a teacher that really made you get out of your comfort zone,” Gorman said.

Advice: “Just gain as many different experiences as you could,” Gorman said, recalling her own ex-periences of a high school trip to Italy, cheerleading camps, tutoring fellow edu-cation students in math and teaching pre-kindergarten children while in college.

Valedictorians speak to gradsthree top students in Valley’s class of 2005

By Cindy O. HermanFor The Daily Item

Spend 180 days a year surrounded by teens, listening to teens,

laughing with teens and teaching them, and you can’t help but appreciate their goofy humor, energy and potential. Teach-ers pour their hearts into helping our kids triumph. They know our students and want the best for them. If given the chance, what advice would teachers give to graduating seniors?

“What matters most”Once there was a forest

fire ripping through the mountains. The deer, fox, turkey and bear fled in panic. An owl sat perched on a tree branch on the edge of the flames and took it all in. Amidst the chaos the owl noticed a small hummingbird going back and forth from the forest fire and then to the Susque-hanna. With each trip from the river, the hummingbird carried a small drop of water in its tiny beak. The

owl interrupted the hum-mingbird and said, “Hum-mingbird, you are carrying such small drops of water, and the fire is so immense. What do you think you are doing?” The hummingbird replied, “The best I can.”

To the graduates of 2015: The problems will often seem so immense. At times, the flames of the forest fires will surround you. Do not feel as though you must tackle the world’s problems on your own. Instead, do the best you can. That is what matters most.

— Van Wagner, environmental science

teacher, Lewisburg Area High School

“More valuable than that”Congratulations seniors.

You’ve reached the end of a 13-year journey. There has been a lot of time, money, sweat and tears bringing you to this point. Your teachers have watched you grow and learn. We’ve had opportunities to see you at your best and at less than your best. We watched you win championships and

heard your excitement when you got your driver’s license. We got to hear about lost teeth and lost relation-ships. You’ve sat through

countless classes, heard thousands of lessons, com-pleted numerous projects and couldn’t wait for this moment. If you’re reading this, I hope you don’t mind one more “lesson.”

Never stop learning. It doesn’t matter if it’s a new technique for fine-tuning an engine or for calibrat-ing a laser scalpel. Find people with more experi-ence and more skills than you have and learn all you can from them. Attend a seminar. Take a class that will challenge you. An “A” in an “easy” class may not mean as much as a “B” in a “hard” class. Putting little to no effort into learning

pa. is a-oKA comprehensive U.S.

report showed that Oregon not only has the worst graduation rates in the nation, but it’s holding the country back from achiev-ing its graduation rate goals.

The 2015 Building a Grad Nation report ana-lyzed 2013 graduation rate data from every state in the nation. While the national average reached a record high of 81.4 per-cent, the four-year gradu-ation rate in Oregon was only 69 percent.

The rate in Pennsylvania ranged from 80 percent to 89 percent, as did most of the East Coast. New York State, however, had a 70 percent to 79 percent graduation rate.

According to the report, Oregon hadn’t improved from the year before, showing stagnation as the last remaining state with graduation rates lower than 70 percent.

“Oregon did not experi-ence significant improve-ments and became the state with the lowest graduation rate in the na-tion and the last remain-ing state with an ACGR (Adjusted Cohort Gradua-tion Rate) in the 60s,” the report said.

The Grad Nation report shows that overall, much of the country is on track to graduate upwards of 90 percent of seniors by 2020, and many states are already graduating more than 80 percent of stu-dents, including neighbor-ing California. Washington State had a 76.4 percent graduation rate.

“Just gain as many different experiences as you could,” says Ashley (Kulbacki) Gorman, valedictorian of the Milton Area Senior High School Class of 2005.

Each experience pushed her past her comfort level and made her stronger and more independent.

Take advantage of the clubs and activities that col-lege offers, she said. “Don’t be afraid to go out and try things in college, but also keep a balance with that and school. The grades will matter, especially the first year. If you mess up the first year, it’s hard to play catchup.”

Influential high school teachers: “I was very ac-tive in the drama club at school,” Laidacker said. “Mrs. Patty Wagner was a big influence. She instilled that dedication to do your best.”

Also, advanced biology teacher, Karen Musser. “She gave me a nice over-view of science, and I think that’s the foundation of the education in health care,” Laidacker said. “She made it fun to learn about.”

Advice: “I would say, keep all your options open. Never feel a goal is too ex-treme for you to achieve,” Laidacker said. “No goal is ever set too high as long as you are ambitious and set your mind to it.”

does not increase your skills.

Treat people with respect — you never know when or where you may see them again. While people often remember the positive experiences, negative ones tend to be more vibrant. That waiter you disrespect may be taking classes and could be your boss some-day. You don’t want to be applying for a job only to be interviewed by someone who has had a poor past experience with you.

Work hard — “Seniori-tis” might be cool now, but your boss won’t think so.

Be conscious of your reputation — a good repu-tation speaks volumes.

Make a difference — it doesn’t matter if it is your grandma or a complete stranger — make a differ-ence in someone’s life. You will not regret it.

You are not a mistake — you were created to be you. Embrace who you are. Don’t let your mistakes de-fine who you are. You are more valuable than that.

Be yourself — not the person you may have pre-tended to be in high school. If the high school “you” isn’t who you want to be or who you are known to be, you now have the opportu-nity to change it.

WORD, from Page F1

William J. Switala Jr., a social studies teacher at Selinsgrove Area High School, says he hopes graduates return to the area.

Spend less than you earn. Always put a “little some-thing aside.” Learn how to budget your paychecks.

Be generous — find something you believe in and support it. Give it your time, your money and your energy.

Be responsible — you are now responsible to make your own decisions and choices. Be careful how you decide. You have to live with your decisions.

Say thank you — good manners are always ap-preciated and leave a good impression. Be genuine in your thanks.

— Brian Landis, chemistry teacher,

Mifflinburg Area High School

“The only real mistake”My first piece of advice

to all of you graduating this year is to take a risk and leave the area for a few

years. If you’re plan-ning to go to school, perhaps choose one that is a few hours away. If

you’re going right into the workforce, there are job

opportunities everywhere. Take advantage of this

transitional moment in your life to experience the world outside that with which you are familiar.

Secondly, find a job that brings you satisfaction. You will spend a lot of your life working, so make sure that you enjoy what you do. If for whatever reason you find that you don’t enjoy your job, explore other career options. If you don’t feel like you have any other options, at least make sure that you do things outside of your job that provide you with the joy you need to live a fulfilling life.

Lastly, be willing to make mistakes but keep the words of John Powell in mind: “The only real mis-take is the one from which we learn nothing.”

Best wishes to the Class of 2015!

“Your smallest act”The Selinsgrove Area

High School Class of 2015 has been one of the most impressive groups to ever pass through the hallways of our building. Their passion and dedication to academics and extracur-ricular activities inspire me daily. As they leave to move on to further their educa-tion, training or work, I would like to offer them my sincerest “thanks” for the

joy and service that they have brought to our com-munity.

My hope is that they will continue to grow as productive members of the greater Selinsgrove area. I know that the pull to move out of our area will tug at them; however, my hope is that they will return to our area to start their families and bring their wisdom and experience back to our community. All graduates should visit other parts of the country and world, but I hope that most will make their way back into our lives.

My parting advice to all of the graduates in 2015 would be to embrace the quote by 19th-century Indian philosopher Swami Sivananda: “Put your heart, mind and soul into even your smallest act. This is the secret of suc-cess.” If you embrace this philosophy, you will tire often, but will end up sat-isfied with what you have accomplished on a daily basis.

Mollie SchwartzDanville High SchoolCollege: Columbia Uni-

versity in New York CityMajor: chemical physicsToday: graduate student,

one year away from a Ph.D. in quantum physics at the University of Cali-fornia at Berkeley

Influential high school teachers: Michael Nailor. “He was the forensics coach when I was there,” Schwartz said. “He was a phenomenal influence.” And when a group of stu-dents wanted to learn more in calculus than the school offered at the time, Steven Smith, a math teacher, de-veloped a whole new class. “He really showed us the beauty of mathematics,” Schwartz said.

Advice: It’s impossible to miss the enthusiasm Schwartz has when talk-ing about experimental quantum physics. “I spent the last couple of years finding all the ways how it’s more complicated and more beautiful than what the textbooks tell you,” she said. When asked what advice she’d give to graduating high school seniors, she answered with a scientist’s candor.

“It’s really hard for me to give any specific advice,” she said. “I’m coming to the end of my

educational structure and having the same questions they do.”

Like high school gradu-ates today, Schwartz feels the weight of others in her life, some of whom would like to see her become a professor, and some who feel strongly otherwise.

“I think the advice I would give (today’s gradu-ates), and the advice I’m trying to follow myself,” she said with a little laugh, “is that you really have to look into yourself and see what would make you feel best. It’s so much more worthwhile to live your life rather than someone else’s life.”

Schwartz also cautioned against “monetizing your passion.”

“There’s an obsession in our society to have a job that fulfills you and is your passion, and I’m not sure that’s realistic,” she said. “Liberate yourself from the idea that you ‘must’ love your job, or you’ve failed at life. It’s not that being passionate about work isn’t realistic; it’s just not realistic for ‘everyone.’ You should also have a life outside of your (work) that makes you happy.”

High school is not only a challenging time in a young student’s life, but also a

period that can have a profound im-pact on a young person, as so many memories are created in the years students spend in high school.

By the time their high school careers end, students typically have many mementos from their school days. Yearbooks and class rings are two such mementos, and each is a lasting symbol of school and a great way to show alumni pride.

YearbooksYearbooks are perhaps the most

popular memento among graduates. Schools and yearbook commit-tees go to great lengths to produce yearbooks that highlight the best of what a school has to offer. Well-received yearbooks are those that not only include the standard snap-

shots of the student body, but piece together the candid photos and stories that really paint a picture of a school and its graduating classes. From a freshman dance to a senior theater production, yearbooks include it all, serving as a one-stop scrapbook of school recollections.

Sales of yearbooks may also be put toward fundraising efforts for the school - fueling future programs and resources for students. Year-

books give students an accessible way to look back on their youth and shared experiences with other students.

Class ringsClass rings are another way for

students to mark their time in high school. Rings are customarily offered for sale to the graduating class. What sets these apart from other school momentos is that they often can be customized based on the interests of the student.

Class rings can feature names, team numbers, icons that represent clubs in which a student partici-pated, and a host of other specific information about graduates. In many cases, rings include the graduation year and a stone that represents the school’s color. The size, shape and style of the ring may be predetermined by the school, or soon-to-be graduates may be per-mitted to design their own rings.

By Claudia BuckThe Sacramento Bee

Let’s face it. When it comes to graduation gifts, most students

would probably prefer cold, hard cash. Or maybe a plane ticket for a European backpacking trip or a Mexi-can beach vacation.

But as student loan debt has leaped higher than a souped-up SAT score, it may be wise to think twice about what makes a good graduation gift.

To get graduates off on a financially balanced foot-ing, here are some money-savvy gift ideas.

CASH ALTERNA-TIVE: “Obviously, cash is king,” said personal finance blogger Joseph Audette, a personal finance writer/blogger for NerdWallet. But students, especially high school graduates juggling their own finances for the first time, can quickly blow through a lot of cash, he notes. Instead?

“Get a gift card from the university’s student bookstore. It’s a little more thought than writing a check and lets them use the funds for things they’ll re-ally need in school.”

GIVE A BOOK: Too often, friends and fam-ily feel pressure to spend lavishly on a graduation gift, said the 30-year-old financial blogger, who says $25 to $50 or even a money-minded book can be more than adequate. For the lat-ter, he recommends: n “The Millionaire Next

Door”: “An easy read that puts young people in the right mind-set” for man-aging their spending and savings. n “A Random Walk

Down Wall Street”: “A classic (that) provides great background for young graduates interested in investing.”n “Oh, the Places You’ll

Go!”: “A (Dr. Seuss) chil-dren’s book that never gets old and makes a surpris-ingly thoughtful graduation present.”

OLD SCHOOL: In their young lifetimes, many graduates today have likely never seen one: a paper U.S. savings bond. They became extinct on Jan. 1, 2012, and can be purchased only in digital form. (The only exception: Paper sav-ings bonds can be pur-chased using your IRS tax refund.) To give a student a Series EE or I electronic savings bond — in amounts starting at $25 — go to the U.S. Treasury website, TreasuryDirect.gov. It also offers free graduation gift cards that you can per-sonalize and print out to include with your gift.

LONG-TERM GIFT-ING: To introduce a young graduate to the benefits of long-term investing, try a mutual fund, said Lon Bur-ford, a partner with wealth management firm Geno-vese Burford & Brothers in Sacramento, Calif. A fund like the Vanguard S&P 500, he said, is “a great teach-ing opportunity financially as graduates begin getting closer to when they’ll stand on their own two feet.

“With one gift, you’re helping them own Apple, Microsoft and Google — companies they’re inter-ested in,” said Burford, as well as stock stalwarts like Chevron and Procter & Gamble. And with a mutual fund, he notes, students will get an annual report where they can track the performance of the dozens of companies they own.

GIVE A SHARE: If you prefer, individual shares of stock — say, in a student’s favorite company — also can be a gift that keeps on growing. Obviously, a $450 share of Apple is beyond most budgets, but plenty of other companies are af-fordable. Low-cost online

stock-buying sites, like Capital One’s ShareBuilder, let a graduate get started. Its “Gift of Stock” promo-

tion — with a $50 bonus for new accounts — is tied to graduates.

There also are person-alized stocks from sites like OneShare.com in San Francisco, where you can buy a single share of a favorite stock, such as Nike or Disney. They can be framed with customized inscription.

BUY AN EXPERI-ENCE: Some young graduates heading off to four years of college stud-ies or that first 9-to-5 job deserve a once-in-a-lifetime experience, said NerdWal-let’s Audette, such as a gift certificate for sky diving or funds to fuel a cross-coun-try road trip.

Commence

PALMER (AP) — Palmer Township resident Bob Walters has earned so many

college degrees he couldn’t hang them all on one wall.

On May 21, Walters, 64, gradu-ated with his 10th credential from Northampton Community College, Bethlehem.

But the retired nurse is far from finished with his schooling.

Walters has been admitted to Moravian College’s master’s of business administration pro-gram.

In addition to his 10 NCC de-grees or certificates, Walters has earned a bachelor’s of psychol-ogy and chemistry from Mora-vian, a master’s in special educa-tion from Millersville University and a law degree from Widener University.

He doesn’t earn the degrees for recognition or a pay boost. He didn’t even attend the May

21 commencement festivities at NCC.

“I enjoy intellectual stimu-lation,” Walters said, adding many folks don’t understand his motivation. “That is really sort of my hobby, taking courses. People ask me how I have the time for it.”

Years ago, Walters read a study that equated time spent in front of the television with life satis-faction: the more time in front of the tube, the less satisfied people reported being.

“I decided to cut way back on television,” Walters said. “I probably watch two hours of TV a week, so I have all that time to do other things. It is amazing; it frees up a lot of time.”

He’s fascinated by comput-ers, electronics, technology and financial investments. His most recent degree is an associate’s in computer science.

Walters recalls taking his first computer class at Moravian when there was one computer for the entire college.

“Computers have always fas-cinated me,” he said. “It makes you feel so old. One course they said to bring in a storage device that is 60 gigabytes. When I started out, a 60-gigabyte storage device would’ve been as large as a refrigerator. Now, I have one that is as large as a sandwich.”

Walters has never wanted to just hone in on one subject area. He thinks he’d tire of just study-ing one topic in-depth.

He began his career teaching special education in the Reading School District for several years. His fascination with medicine led him to earn a nursing degree from NCC in the early 1980s.

He spent much of his career as a psychiatric nurse at Allentown State Hospital, later working

at Easton Hospital and then Gracedale. Throughout his adult life, Walters kept enrolling in college courses.

With all of his degrees, Walters doesn’t have a “dollar of student debt.”

“I’m Pennsylvania Dutch,” Walters said. “We believe in sav-ing and not taking on debt and I just paid for things piece-by-piece as I was able to do it.”

His parents helped him pay for his first degree at Moravian and then he paid for all of his studies on his own.

Walters has completed an accounting certificate and as-sociate’s degrees in electronics, optoelectronics, information technology, chemical technology, electronics technology, optical electronics technology and weld-ing.

He worked his way through un-dergrad as a union boiler maker

and as a hobby welded race cars for clients. Now, he prefers to spend his time crafting ornamen-tal pieces.

Walters is retired from nursing but he still does some tax prepa-ration work, accounting and investing on the side. At most, he takes three courses a semester.

Walters is an advocate of com-munity colleges and vocational education. The affordability of NCC has allowed him to keep expanding his horizons.

He admits not everyone would have the discipline or intellect to pursue so many degrees and certificates. But anyone could complete one program. He en-courages folks to remain open to career programs.

“And doing even one of them could be a tremendous boost to your career,” Walters said. “I think community colleges are a really good thing.”

Man has a true love of learningn caP and gown

As recent college graduates can no doubt attest,

the job market for young people can be difficult to navigate. Many recent grad-uates are still struggling to find full-time employment, and some might be wonder-ing if they chose the right major.

Though choosing a major is about more than just finding a job, the financial burden of earning a college degree can’t be ignored. According to the Project on Student Debt, 71 percent of college seniors who gradu-ated in 2012 had student loan debt, with an average of $29,400 per borrower. In fact, between 2008 and 2012, the average student

loan debt at graduation in-creased an average of 6 per-cent each year. So while the right major should incor-porate a student’s interests, skills and strengths, it’s also important to find a major that can help students earn a living after they walk across the stage and receive their diplomas.

The following are a hand-

ful of tips college students can employ to ensure they choose the right major.n Don’t jump into it.

Some students might want to pick a major before they ever step foot on campus. While that strategy might work for some, it should only be employed by those students who are wholly certain a major is for them. Some students choose a major early on because they feel they may get a head start at navigating their way through a job market that recently endured exception-ally high levels of unem-ployment. But the pressure of finding a job should not be what drives students when choosing a major. Un-less you’re entirely certain that a particular course of study is for you, give your-self some leeway and wait

to choose a major. The first year or two of college is a great time to expand your academic horizons so use that time to your advan-tage.n Don’t procrastinate.

While rushing into a major is a mistake, it’s also fool-ish to procrastinate with regard to choosing a course of study. According to The College Board’s annual sur-vey of colleges, the average tuition and fees at private nonprofit four-year colleges for the 2013-14 school year was $30,094, while public four-year in-state tuition and fees averaged slightly less than $9,000 for the same year. So no matter which type of college or university a student enrolls in, he or she will be mak-ing a significant financial commitment. Waiting too

long to choose a course of study may find you paying for courses you ultimately won’t need, increasing your already expensive tuition along the way.n Use the resources at

your disposal. Students undecided about a college major should make use of their schools’ career de-velopment departments to help them get on the right path. Many such depart-ments provide assessment tools to help students find a major that synthesizes their interests and skills with a field of study. In addition, the personnel within career development departments have dealt with hundreds, if not thou-sands, of previous students who found themselves in similar situations, and that experience can prove

invaluable to students who might feel lost with regard to choosing majors.n Know the requirements

if you have a specific career in mind. While many ma-jors are not difficult to nav-igate, some fields of study have strict guidelines that students should be aware of almost immediately. For example, students hoping to attend medical school after graduation need to determine which courses they absolutely must take in order to qualify for medical school. In addition, students with such specific plans in mind often must choose their majors as early as possible so they can plan their curriculum in accor-dance with the standards they will need to meet to be considered for postgraduate work.

By Beth J. HarpazThe Associated Press

It’s hard to stand out at graduation when your classmates are dressed

in identical caps and gowns.But some students indi-

vidualize their appearance by decorating their mortar-boards. Designs range from a simple lettered message like “Thanks, Mom and Dad!” to an elaborate craft project with images, glitter or 3-D constructions. Other students decorate caps with school logos, or fraternity or sorority letters.

While decorated mortar-boards may be more com-mon on college campuses, some high school seniors are getting in on the act. Some colleges are encour-aging them to put their future alma maters’ names

on their caps at graduation.The messages are highly

individual. At the Univer-sity of Texas at Dallas last year, Laurel Mohrman had a simple message on her cap: “DEBT FREE.”

A 2014 Lehigh University grad, Lisa Glover, attached a miniature 3-D dinosaur to her cap; Glover launched a business called KitRex af-ter graduating, selling kits to make paper dinosaurs.

Ali Boden, who is getting her degree in sustainability and business from Ari-zona State in Tempe, will be taking a trip to Europe after graduation and hopes it’s the first of many trips to see the world. She plans to decorate her cap with a map of the world and a phrase “along the lines of ‘The world awaits,’” she said. She’s been going to

Michael’s, the craft supply store, to figure out the best materials for lettering.

ASU even has a contest to recognize the best-deco-rated mortarboards.

Ruth Lauture is graduat-ing from Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia, with a degree in marketing, “so my cap is going to say, ‘I mean busi-ness.’ Something simple, but really meaningful.” The word “mean” will be in pink, partly to help her mom pick her out from the crowd.

Marc Goldberg’s mom had such a hard time find-ing him at his commence-ment from Indiana Univer-sity in 1997 that it inspired him to create a business called TasselToppers.com.

Goldberg has now shipped several hundred thousand customized mortarboard designs, which let buyers choose background colors and add images and text. There’s artwork on the TasselToppers website, or you can upload your own. Universities have licensed their logos to the company.

TasselToppers’ finished designs cost $15 and are printed on durable plastic the size of the mortarboard, with reusable adhesives. That way, rented caps can be returned undam-aged, and commencement policies that don’t permit mortarboard decorations can be temporarily accom-modated.

Goldberg says he’s been amazed at “the creative stuff that people come up with,” including touching messages “in loving mem-ory of a mom or dad who could not be there. It’s a concept that they’re looking down on them at gradua-tion and the cap is looking back up.”

Also noteworthy, Gold-berg says, are designs ordered by older students who may have taken years to finish their degrees (“49 years old, finally done”); single moms declaring, “I did it for my kids,” and designs honoring students who are the first in their family to graduate. He also partnered with Au-tism Speaks to include the organization’s puzzle-piece logo on his website so that students with issues related to autism can add that symbol to their caps as they celebrate their achieve-ments.

“Everyone has a story,” Goldberg says.
