On the first day, at the podium Shelley will start to preach<\/p>\n
Sitting in fancy clothes, you’ll silently pray to end the speech<\/p>\n
She says “From Challenge Detroit, you’ll get out what you put in,”<\/p>\n
You roll your eyes, you’ve heard it before, when can lunch begin?<\/p>\n
The unfortunate truth is her words are so wise<\/p>\n
Your Challenge Detroit year flashes before your eyes<\/p>\n
Living, working, playing, giving, and leading<\/p>\n
Laughing, learning, seeing Detroit succeeding<\/p>\n
Seize every moment, and to every opportunity say yes<\/p>\n
Fill up your plate, and do all you can to contribute to Detroit’s progress<\/p>\n
These next 12 months may feel like a wild and crazy test<\/p>\n
But they will be fun and rewarding too \u2013 next year you’ll rest<\/p>\n
So buckle up and fill your closet with snappy casual<\/p>\n
Get ready for your time to shine, there’s no need to feel bashful<\/p>\n
You will get out what you put in<\/p>\n
Let that sink deep into your skin<\/p>\n
All of a sudden, before you know,<\/p>\n
It will be your turn, ready set go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
