An Original Poem by Ty Howard

A Good Education Goes A Long Way

I’m Mr. MOTIVATION, and I’m here to say —
Getting A Good Education Goes A Long Way.

School systems were created to help give you a good start.
To teach, guide, and encourage you
While inspiring both your mind and your heart.

A Good Education instills values, builds character,
And challenges your thoughts.
It affects your overall quality of life:
Your beliefs, health, confidence, and the lessons you’re taught.
