Congratulations, graduating class of 2025!
Graduating is a major accomplishment and honourable milestone to achieve; your parents, family and community are very proud of you all... ʔəmot!!!
You are all leading by example by demonstrating your commitment and dedication to your education. This is one of many chapters that you have now completed on your life’s journey. Each of you will have the decision to set the sights on the beginning of your next chapter.
The advice I have to offer to all the grads is to find balance, set the crosshairs on your career…plan out your path to hit that target…but at the same time, take in the moments along the way.
It is the journey that you will reflect on; these are the memories that will stay with you for a lifetime. Take in and learn our Tla’amin history, cultural practices and our ʔayʔaǰuθəm language, but at the same time explore this beautiful earth. Take in the diversity of world culture and you will all discover how amazing each day is.
Surround yourselves with loved ones and positive people to keep your spirit healthy and strong to guide you to make decisions based on our taʔaw.
