The future is now
Michel Lafrance

We must want to know more, because we know there is more
Turn on the light of inspiration, eliminate the sense of desperation
So we may begin to prevent the expiration of a society obsessed with instant gratification
The mind is a place where you can go for peace, it also provides opportunities for release
Stimulate the brain and you will gain the key to the future reign
Of our globally connected society progressing towards academic sobriety
Teachers teach the next generation that will lead our great nation
Of educated minds of all kinds, developing and defining new designs
For how we work and play, creating a new future today
The kids deserve our very best. It’s time for the adults to take the test
Can we maximize learning with the computer? So our kids can have a digital future
21st century skills are all the rage, the buzzwords can be found on the front page
Cooperation, creativity and collaboration, followed by critical thinking and communication
Hopefully these provide a roadmap for schools and teach the students the necessary tools
To be successful and agile, not redundant and fragile
I hope we’re not too late to make the future great
It's a big responsibility to evoke the possibility of endless opportunity for all of humanity
Let’s graduate young adults with a thirst for change, with their sights set on more than minimum wage
Entrepreneurs who want to work differently, people creating jobs that don’t exist presently
You see the importance of education, the critical nature of this dissertation
If we play our cards right, generations will prevail
If our best is just alright, then everyone will fail
