President's Address

Dear Students:

Ski instructor, Pete Seibert, was considered crazy when he disclosed his dream to start a ski resort at the summit of a mountain in the Gore Range in Colorado. Seibert finalized a dream he had had since age twelve and began the challenge of convincing others that anything was possible. Seibert's dream became a reality—Vail.

Katherine Hepburn had only one career aspiration. She fell in love with silent movies as a child and dreamed of becoming a movie star. Throughout her education she had participated in theatrical activities. After graduating from college, Hepburn set her course to become an actress. How amazing that the woman who was told she had a voice like a rasp and a skeleton body achieved superstar status!

Living in a government funded housing project in Pennsylvania, Mike Ditka dreamed of escaping the mines of his home state. Capitalizing on his dream and athletic ability, he became famous as a pro football player and head coach of the Chicago Bears.

These notable people testify to the exciting phenomenon that if you have a dream and nurture it, are passionate about it, and act upon it, you can experience the realization of it.

Whatever your program of study, you will receive the personalized attention you deserve. As you turn the pages of Trinidad State's Spring Schedule, what is your dream? What are your goals?
