Ben Franklin once said “He that is good at making excuses is seldom good at anything else.”  This quote is straightforward, yet impactful.  It is about personal accountability and the importance of taking responsibility for your actions.  It suggests that individuals who are prone to making excuses for their failures often lack the ability to excel in other areas of life.  This quote should serve as a reminder that true success and effectiveness stem from a willingness to accept responsibility and take proactive steps to overcome obstacles and challenges.  By refraining from making excuses and embracing a mindset of accountability, individuals can unlock their potential and achieve meaningful accomplishments in various aspects of life.

At this time, will you please rise for the pledge:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.  

Farmer Four:

I am respectful

I am responsible

I am safe

I am prepared

Today is National Beach Day!  Do you know what an ocean says to a beach?  Nothing, it just waves.
