Opportunity-I Wonder If They Know?

I wonder if they know? It's Sunday night before I go to work on Monday. I am to begin a New Hire training class at 8:00 tomorrow and I am expecting 26 people. I am going through my evening preparations for work, make the coffee, shine my shoes, pick out my clothes for the first day class, when a out of nowhere this question pops into my head; I wonder if they know? 

I wonder if they know?
I wonder if they have thought about what's about to happen?
I wonder if they will be able to truly appreciate the milestone decision and opportunity that tomorrow brings?  
I wonder if they have planned properly?
I wonder how they will react when confronted with contradictions and broken paradigms?
I wonder who will fail to assess themselves or the moment accurately, and who gets it exactly?  
I wonder who is nervous and who is unsettled and whose insecurities will stand out the most, theirs, or mine? 
I wonder if they will meet my high expectations, will I meet theirs?
I wonder if it will be obvious that I take the moment of their opportunity seriously?
I wonder if they will able to tell I have been planning for them? 
I wonder if they will see that I am personally and professionally vested in their well being?
I wonder how many will succeed beyond their own expectations, and how can I make sure I don't miss the one's that are just about to give up?

They will have to work to get it, but all them will be offered the same opportunity that will mean more to some than to others. For some it will be just another job, another experience. For others, like me, it will change them and the course of their lives forever. I wonder if they know it?     

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is wearing overalls and looks like work"- (See source)

This is what I am thinking, in my closet Sunday night, before their big day, I wonder if they will know?
