True understanding of our strengths and limitations is the greatest discipline. Authenticity in all that you do will allow you to be open to yourself and others. Share important stories. Communication is the motivation for why we are involved in creation and performance of our art. Take every opportunity possible to pass on the joys, the pains, the struggles, the births and the deaths that are important to you and are close to your heart.
Embrace friendships .
You can never have too many friends. Meet as many people as possible and learn as much as you can about them. Find good in each of these, and never see beyond the realm that one could be a soul mate. I am most grateful. My hope and prayer is that St. Bonaventure continues to cultivate the best arts students and allows these programs to flourish and grow.
