…for your next set of finals, in case you need an inspirational speech. This is dedicated to my class:
“This ain’t no third nerve palsy. It never has been, and it never will be. Yeah, you may be down. Maybe we all are. After all, it’s been a long semester, and it’s been a long finals week. But we are never, ever, out.
It’s like our beloved Memphis Grizzlies. They’re not the flashiest team in the NBA. Our players rarely get considered for “Best of” lists, unless you’re Marc Gasol this year. But they get it done, because that’s what they do. They grit, and they grind. So shall you, not just tomorrow, not just when we get to clinic, and not even just until graduation two years from now, but always. Because that’s what you do. That’s how you got to this point. And that’s how it’s going to be.
Believe Memphis. Believe yourself. Believe, always. You got this.”
As of this writing, the Class of 2015 is one final away from becoming third years. But more on that in my next post.
