It is also heart-warming to see the complete trust and belief, as our young friend approached a teacher for help in this rather urgent matter, and more importantly, to see the faith that the little guy had in the simplicity of his request, and the faith that the teacher would do their best to help him. And what a find it is when a Junior Boy wants to play soccer with the Senior Boys - no fear.just a little awe and admiration perhaps? It is gratifying to find that at a Senior Boy will still offer to play soccer with a younger boy because he remembers looking up to the bigger boys when he was just a little guy. Ok, so the teacher never did find the elusive "tall one" - but something more important was "found". The Senior kids smile and chuckle good-naturedly at the little guy's enthusiasm and conviction. With that, the little chap turns happily on his heel, confident that the teacher will in fact find the "tall Senior boy" and he trots off to his next lesson. Do you know him? He said he would play soccer with me after school!"īoy: "No.but will you find him for me please? Tell him I'll wait for him after school to play soccer." The boy looking disappointed, but still hopeful: "Oh.I'm looking for a tall Senior Boy ( little arms extended to the left and the right accompany this statement to show just how tall the boy is). The conversation that follows goes something like this: Quite undeterred, this young man walks up to the teacher. He sees a Senior Teacher standing next to the class, waiting to lead the class in. Along comes a little Grade chap.shirt un-tucked and socks down after a good game of something that involves running. The Grade 's are outside a class, waiting for a lesson. We are indeed proud!īut, allow me set another scene? No elementary school graduation speech is complete without a story? The end of recess bell has just rung. Well done - you seized wonderful opportunities, academic, cultural and sporting and made them your own.
I can only applaud that kind of determination, that purposeful resolve to get where you need to be - even when it may not always have been very easy. Step-by-step and day-by-day - your course was steadfast and you never lost sight of your goals.
And although, not everyone may have had wings that saw them soaring over obstacles confronted - each and every one of you had feet - feet that you used to climb, bit by bit every day, one day at a time and yes.you all got there. It is a wonderful gift and one that never fails to amaze me. There were those of you who seemed to have wings and you just soared over the obstacles and challenges that crossed your path. To our young Ladies and Gentlemen seated in front of us tonight listening to our elementary school graduation speech - we are immeasurably proud of each and everyone of you. A year of challenges met, mountains climbed and summits conquered! But my, what a wonderful year it has been. As we looked forward to all the challenges that lay ahead of us, it did appear a little daunting at times - a huge mountain that lay ahead of us to climb. The year started off at a sprint and it seems to have left many of us still trying to catch our breath. Good Evening Honored Guests, Ladies, Gentlemen and of course the Graduating Class of.
