Mr. Shipley's lives by the words of Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays, "It is must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach... It is not a disgrace to reach for the stars but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for... Not failure, but low aim is the sin." Mr. Shipley motivates students to dream as if their dreams are already a reality and to persist as if their goals and dreams were reserved for them. |
