Lake Country Calendar GESS 2015 Graduation - Wednesday June 17, 2015 | X3
Saluting the Class of 2015 ∙ George Elliot Secondary School
my fellow graduates. I am deeply, hon-oured to stand in front of you all today, representing the class of 2015. I’m sure that everyone here tonight has high hopes for this class. But among our parents, in our communities, and even among us, there are some common assumptions made about our generation.
One common assumption is that our generation doesn’t have drive. Some of us have been working for years now and many of us have plans to follow our passions. There are about a dozen graduates here, including Aydan Corrigan, Dominick Siemens, and Jarrod Raisenen that have begun college early and will soon be Red Seal Tradesmen. We have top achieving science students like Lucas Andrew or Jenna de Jonge working towards a future as tomorrow’s doctors and researchers. We have innovative minds like Trevor Pearson and Tim Offenwanger who I’m sure will be among the next great engineers. There are those such as Julia Anderson and Makena Geen, individuals who will dazzle the world with their creativity. Among us there are those such as Max Morgan and Michael Burnham who’s hard work has paid off in athletic scholarships, and nearly all of our Pursuit of Excellence hockey players have committed to play for universities or the Jr. Hockey leagues! And I certainly look forward to one day seeing athletes like Joella Koblishke and Sarah Potomac representing our country in World Championships or Olympic Games in their respective sports. And what about graduates like Connor Perez or Jeremy Dejong, who have obtained their Junior Firefighting certification, or Nick Hipsey, another junior firefighter who is pas-sionate about a future in law enforcement. So I’d say that we are an ambitious group.
Another assumption that I think is com-mon in our society is we are still too young to have already made a positive difference. But think back to all of the service awards given
earlier this night. Many of us were involved with mentoring younger students through LINK and peer tutoring, and volunteering around the school. Madison Docksteader travelled to Nunavut to provide aid. Kyla Cassan travelled to Nicaragua to volunteer. Charlie Smith traveled to Uganda last sum-mer to teach and give aid to the children. And that’s not even to mention our girls from Little Women for Little Women in Afghanistan, including Cassy Hinchliffe, Haley Smith, and Amber Coles. Few grad classes can say they created an organization that’s raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for education in a third world country, starting in 4th grade! I think the impact that we’ve made is pretty obvious.
And I think it’s a very commonly held assumption that teenagers in general take a lot for granted. However, I think I can speak for all of us when I say we are very aware of all of the help we’ve needed to get here. On behalf of the class of 2015, thank you teachers for always being there when a student needed help. Thank you coaches, for your devotion to the athletes in your care. Big thank you to the Lake Country Coffee House. I’d also like to thank Ms. Newell for the countless hours she has worked to make our grad the best it could be. And thank you to the moms and dads in the crowd, we’ve relied on you so much for so many things, and despite how it may sometimes seem, we are incredibly grateful to you. There are so many people that helped us get to this point, and I know firsthand how appreciative our class is.
Something graduates commonly assume as we sit here in these super comfortable chairs, wearing these very fashionable robes, is that we are supposed to have our futures all mapped out. We even had to complete an assignment called “M.A.P.” in order to gradu-ate! To many of you it may seem like every-body else does have it figured out. I mean I
just named a bunch of people following their passions or making a difference in the world. I myself am going to UBCO next year to study engineering and it might seem like I’ve got my future all planned out. However, although I do have a plan, that doesn’t mean I have it all figured out. I’m simply taking my best guess, taking a step forward. I don’t know exactly where that step will take me, but I don’t believe I need to know. I think that if you find a direction to begin on and never stop moving forwards, you will find yourself at a destination you can be proud of.
And I’d like to bring up another common assumption, that it’s best to go to univer-sity and get a degree. But look at Kavan Kozakovich, who’s moving to California to pursue his talent as a DJ. There’s no organized program waiting for him, he’s just up and leaving, throwing himself head first into the real world, and that takes incredible courage. Like Kavan, some of us may not have a path that fits into a neat little package but we all have something in us, the power to keep moving forwards and beat our own path if we have to. We are all, every one of us, strong, and talented.
Another common assumption is that as valedictorian, I’m going to stand in front of you and quote some famous person’s “words of wisdom.” However, I’ve found that this grad class has plenty of wisdom to share with one another. Inside the back cover of my grade 11 yearbook, on the right hand side near the top, there is written: “When life knocks you down, just chill for a bit and maybe take a nap down there. RK.” Now while I’m sure that Mr. Killingsworth was just making a joke, I don’t think that means that it’s bad advice. Sooner or later, life is going to get rough, regardless of the path you follow. But when that happens I think you need to remember to slow down, chill as Ryan put it, and realize that the means to succeed are still

within you. These days there is so much advice and information read-ily available to us, but the reality is that some of the greatest wisdom is far more close to home than Albert Einstein, Oprah Winfrey, or some random guy on the internet.
Before I finish up, I’d you all to think back to grade 8, and how you felt in those early days of high school. We had no idea what we were in for. We didn’t know not to mess with Mrs. Middleton, granted we learned pretty quick. We didn’t know we had to answer more ques-tions in order to enter Mr. Wellwood’s classroom than we did once we were actually inside it. We didn’t know that Mr. Penner kept an impressive collection of road kill in the freezer in his classroom, or that you should almost never take what Mr. Frehlick says literally. We didn’t know that lots of our teachers could be found in their class-rooms helping outside class time. I actually saw Mr. Mackenzie at 7-11 the other day, did you guys know he actually leaves the school sometimes?
The point is everything was incredibly uncertain, and graduation was a concept that seemed so distant that we couldn’t even fully grasp its full significance. There’s a certain tightness in the chest, a nagging uncertainty that I’m sure we are all familiar with. But isn’t that the same feeling we have now, except now that distant and uncertain future is adulthood? And along with all of the things we have yet to “figure out,” we also don’t know about all of the good times that are yet to come. It’s common for students to assume that if we don’t start mapping it out now we can’t make it, but it’s also common for people to assume that we aren’t passionate, don’t

contribute, or haven’t started “real life.” And we have proven that every single one of these assumptions are, without any shadow of a doubt, wrong! We are not a common grad class, we never have been, and we never will be.
Thank you!

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can
dream it, you can become it.William Arthur Ward
I used this quote underneath my
graduation picture 25 years ago.
Today, more than ever, I know about
the importance of dreaming to
achieve success and happiness in
your life! I personally know many
of this year’s graduates, through my
community involvement and having
taught them dance, and am very
proud of all of you!
Congratulations to the class of 2015!
