Arrived safely in Munich. The keyboards here are just enough different that it is challenging so please forgive any spelling errors or capitalization issues. We are checked into our hotel and are heading down to Freiberg this afternoon. We will have dinner, sightsee, and then call it a day around 10 p.m. All of the other participants are very nice. The Euro is exchanging at 60 per $100 and a 6 euro commission. So econ students I will try and send back pictures or info on McDonalds, gas, candy, cell phones, etc and you can figure out how much you would need American to buy here in Germany. For my history students we are visiting Dachau Concentration Camp tomorrow. They are giving our group a private tour. Be good. And yes I am having a safe and drug free\alcohol free trip. You do the same :] Love ya, mean it. Erv

Going to Miss You Guys

Well I-STEP is in full swing and of course you have all taken off for your job shadowing. I have all my plans done and hope I have remembered everything you need during my absence. Be good to Mrs. Howard...I mean it. It's hard to believe but I think I'm going to miss you guys...I've never been out of school this long and I've been in school 43 years - actually this is my 44th year overall and my 26th at Delta. Have safe and drug free days while I am gone...if you need anything see Mrs. Lewman. I'll talk to you again when I land in Munich on Sunday. Love ya, mean it.

Getting started is half the battle. Is it or is it really 90% of the battle? What do you think? Have you ever started an endeavor to find that it really wasn't as hard as you had made it in your mind? Have you ever counted yourself out of an experience before you started because you didn't think you could do it? Did this cause you any regrets? How about listing a goal of yours and then setting a timeline for completion? You don't necessarily need to be successful but you do need to make the attempt. i.e. apply to Harvard, enter a talent contest, apply for a job. After all....you can't win if you don't enter.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."~ Mark Twain

"Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. "~ Cadet Maxim
