"Oh, the Places You'll Go!"

The children's book that I adore most is "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss. I received this book as I graduated from my undergrad. Each year, I make sure to read it to my students as they "graduate" from their grade and are onto the next. This is the most inspirational children's book I have ever read. It gives children a sense that throughout their lives they will come to "bumps in the rode" but if they stay positive and keep their heads high, it will all workout in the end.

"You'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left."
