To All of Our Graduates,
Whether you are graduating grade 6, 8, 12 or you've finished your post-secondary degree , we would like to take a moment and congratulate you on your accomplishments. As you prepare for the next chapter of life, be proud of the work you have done thus far, because we are. Whether you are heading into high school, post secondary school, or leaving academia for the workforce, take a moment and celebrate your milestone.
Preparing for the next stage of your life can be scary and overwhelming; the unknowns can seem daunting. Remember that the obstacles you will face are surmountable and are a true test of your character. Never shy away from life’s challenges; embrace and defeat them with the resilience that can only come from your story. Most importantly never forget that you have a community standing behind you, cheering you on.
Do not be afraid of the changes that will come with your approaching journey. The places and people may differ over-time, but learn to embrace these experiences as stepping stones for a greater purpose. Do not shy away from the opportunities that are presented. Always take a leap of faith; you are ready.
You will always be your hardest critic in life -- sometimes believing that your goals are too large and your accomplishments too small -- but this cannot be further from the truth. The little things are what build one’s character and will make you the best version of yourself. Let your will to succeed be your driving force and take you to places you never thought possible.
We are all so proud of your accomplishments and know that whatever you want to achieve in life is possible if you work hard for it. Others cannot define you; it is your drive and will to succeed that will elevate you to the next level. You are worthy of all the success you receive and never allow anyone to take that away from you.
We wish you all the best in this next chapter and look forward to your continued success.
From,
All of Us in Regent Park
