The high school graduation at Wasee Abin on the Wikwemikong reserve was a very remarkable evening. It was such an honour to be asked to be a guest speaker at this graduation ceremony. It was really something for me just because a week prior to attending this ceremony, I was actually graduating high school myself.
At this event, I was given the opportunity to speak to the graduating class to share my story with them. Inspire them to continue on with their education and keep walking on the path to achieving their dreams.
When it came to assisting the Director of Education hand out diplomas to the students, it was such an amazing feeling of accomplishment for me since I too just received my diploma.
I knew that each of the graduates were also proud to receive their diploma.
After the graduation ceremony, was exceptional reception and celebration for the graduates of 2008.
I am extremely proud of each of them and all of the hard work that they have put into their high school years.
