It was and exciting day for the seventy-nine graduates of the North Texas Job Corps.  They were accompanied by many family members and friends.  The graduates and other members of the audience were the recipients of profound words of wisdom given by Congressman Sam Johnson and the Mayor of McKinney, TX, Brian Loughmiller.  Congressman Johnson gave the graduates three pieces of advice: 1) know your stuff; 2) work hard and learn from your mistakes; 3) never give up on yourself.  Mayor Loughmiller took the North Texas Job Corps brand “not by chance…by choice” and put his own spin on it.  He told the graduates that there is “no such thing as an unimportant day; each day that you wake up you should make your choices wisely.”
