Dear Student, Parent and Teacher,
Your future awaits, and it's full of possibility.
The past is behind you. Learn from it.
The future is ahead of you. Look forward to it.
The present is yours. Be committed to it.
Read on, reach far. Say yes.
This book, Pencil and Clock, is filled with Pearls for Life-
practical wisdom to guide your steps, sharpen your focus,
and inspire your dreams.
The pencil represents your power to create, to write
your story, and to learn from every page. The clock
reminds you to use your time well, to learn,
reflect, and never take a moment for granted.
Stay curious about the known and the unknown,
the constants and the variables- the accidents- and especially the mistakes.
Because it is through mistakes that authentic learning takes place.
With Heart,
Mr. Lambert
