As I watched 76 Checotah seniors graduate from high school last Friday night I couldn?t help but ponder the events of the evening, the craziness of their COVID-ridden chaotic comeback year and the memories they had made as they crossed the stage and conquered this milestone to make a difference in this world. Yes, just like we had crossed that milestone so many years ago, I reflected back to all the decisions, whether good or bad, that molded us into who we are now and set us in the direction of our destinies.
