Yearbook Quote

This is my final year of high school and graduation seems like it's right around the corner. Today was the day that all the grade 12's had to submit there baby photo and year book quote. It was really tough to choose just one quote because there are so many famous quotes that I have heard and liked. Finally I decided to go with a quote from a man named Ralph Waldo Emerson. The quote is "what lies behind you, and what lies before you are all small matters compared to what lies within you". The reason why I chose this quote was because I really like the meaning behind it. To me, it means that your past and future aren't always as important as the potential and possibilities that you have inside of you. I truly feel like I have a lot of potential and I know that I have what it takes to be whatever I want to be, and that's why I chose this quote.
