hey Wes ooh Matt Van Voorhis middle
school high school Dean of Students
thanks mr. Hoyt for inviting me to share
a few words with you guys
I can ramble in this kind of stuff so
I’ll try to keep it short and sweet so
I’m going to share two words with you
first word ordinary the definition with
no special or distinctive features
normal second word extraordinary very
unusual or remarkable the reason I want
to share these words you know I’ve
watched several of these little clips
mr. Boyd’s put together everybody has a
unique way of looking at things I really
enjoyed watching them and this might tie
into some of them so if they are not
repeating too much but ordinary
extraordinary normal unusual remarkable
and there’s lots of times
excuse me through life that you know I
felt I want to do something
extraordinary well looking back you
really can’t do that without doing
ordinary normal things to the best of
your ability first so you know I I kind
of put that challenge out there for
everyone during this unusual time you
know focus on some ordinary normal
things you can do and get better at
because I think in long run that ends up
contributing to something extraordinary
and here’s a few items I can think of
you know pretty simple pretty normal but
things you can try get to bed on time
kind of a tough one right now but it’s
it’s good for today you know get
yourself and some kind of routine if you
got a little brother or sister at home
offer to play with them once
and make their day if you’re on the
house offer to do the dishes clean up do
some kind of chore to help out when
you’re on a belt
say please and thank you you know good
at using manners find something good to
read and you know amount of time
whatever to read for 10 minutes 20
minutes when you’re done try to
summarize what you just read in your
head so you kind of get that thought
process if you’re in if you’re if you’re
working on you know some kind of
extracurricular if you’re involved in
sports some kind of music art egg you
know practice some kind of skill that’s
maybe just a normal thing and get really
good at it and you know we’re all on
social media share a story about
something you admire about someone but
something out there trying to pick
someone else up do some push-ups
something normal something ordinary just
kind of focus I guess my challenge is
focus on some of those ordinary things
there’s nothing wrong with being
ordinary there’s nothing wrong with
doing normal as long as you are doing
the ordinary to the best your ability
and I truly believe you know Falcon
nation is pretty extraordinary it didn’t
get that way you know on its own it took
a lot of ordinary doing really well to
become extraordinary and really hope to
keep pushing it to that that potential
that we have so everyone out there you
know go out get really good at doing
ordinary you never know something
extraordinary may happen miss you guys
hope to see you all soon seniors hope to
see you soon
good luck wish you guys well and
we’ll see you later
