Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ #SSU Colony Events Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Your happiness does not come from the moment, or the surroundings, or even from the people around you. It comes from you, and from your decision to feel its positive power.
NEVER downgrade your morals, self respect, and positive self image. Remember I am you, you are me and we are representations of SSE, Inc...
Do the RIGHT thing when no one is looking -- That's Integrity. (J. Meyer)
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ #SSE WEEK OCTOBER 9TH- OCTOBER 15THƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
