You are going to college,
didn't I just put you on the bus to kindergarten?

Written as a gift to my son, John Matthew Levitt,
when he left for the University Of Florida

By Mary-Michael Levitt

With all my love
I encourage you
to
make a life long friend
find a mentor
follow your instincts
eat, sleep, play oh and of course study

Be curious
think for yourself
have courage
smile
know when to rest
or
walk that extra step

Remember your past
be loyal
pray
love intensely
feel pride and be comfortable with confusion

Pace yourself
let go
of
what you
have no control of

Focus
Know
Be alive
and
above all
Call your mother !!!
