I'm challenging each student to be like a pencil:  

You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone's hand.  You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.  You will be able to correct mistakes you will make.  The most important part of you will alway be what's inside.  On every surface you are used on, you leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.
