Note to Lindsay Students.

Dear Lindsay students,
I'd like to share some words with you that maybe can work as a bit of encouragement to help you in your way to success. I'd like to let you all know that each and everyone of you is here today because you have a son or daughter or maybe both. You are all here because you are wonderful women and because you want to succeed. You all have the same goal in life as every mother here at Lindsay, to become a great mother and to make your children proud of you. I am very content to say that I am a Lindsay Graduate and I am looking forward to see each and everyone of you graduate. I want to tell you all that the struggles are always going to be there and that no matter what you must not give up. We are the women that people say "don't have a future' because we got pregnant at a young age. We are the women that men look as trash because we have a child. We are the women that cry in silence because we know once we cry we are ready to get up and walk with our heads high. We are strong women facing a life full of judgment. You are all Lindsay students and you are all going to succeed in life. Its all a matter of having a desire to do so. It's only a matter of wanting to do so and not letting anybody tell you that you can't. We are women that care about our future and we stand together to support each other, because we are all hungry for success and because we all have the determination to not let society predict our future. We are all here to help each other and we know that we are not perfect, but we look forward to becoming the best parent we can and the best way we can do that is by setting the example for our children and become educated, finish high school and go onto college to give our children a better future. I'd like to let you all know that you all have my support and that I will be here to help out if you need something, an advice or a smile, maybe even a chat or just someone to listen to you. Lindsay is my second home and thus you are all my family. I love you all! -Ana Meza
