Gratitude for:

Quality High School education that enabled pursuit of masters and doctorate degrees.
Band (music) program that provided a foundation for a lifetime of music (even without a music major)
Classmates that permitted me to serve in various leadership positions (e.g. class president) as preparation for 20 years as an elected official in politics (even without a political science major)
