Anyone who has attended a St. Mary’s County Public School’s graduation recently has heard School Superintendent Dr. Michael Martirano give ten pieces of advice to the graduates. Here are those ten things — Dr. Martirano’s 10 Commandments:

 

1.      PUNCTUATE YOUR WORK WITH EXCELLENCE AND ALWAYS DO MORE THAN IS EXPECTED.

 

2.      PARALYZE RESISTANCE WITH PERSISTANCE AND IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THAT YOU CAN’T, YOU TELL THEM THAT YOU CAN.

 

3.      WORK HARD, BE NICE, PLAY FAIR, NEVER GIVE UP, BE ENTHUSIATIC AND PROMISE ME THAT YOU WILL NEVER DRINK ALCOHOL OR TEXT WHILE DRIVING.

 

4.      REMEMBER, YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION, SO MAKE IT A GOOD ONE.
