Graduation Class of
2015
Kienan Holash ‘15 Class Valedictorian
“And now, with the help of those present here today, we’ve reached the summit of our year. We’ve conquered every challenge, learned every lesson and experienced as much as we could. Now what? Well after such a bustling year, it’s time to enjoy the view. From where we stand, atop this mountain, we can see forever. Our view of the world has expanded and we have
an advantageous point to look out from. After experiencing a variety of cultures and accepting a new independence, our horizons have broadened. What can’t we do now?
We have a full understanding of the world around us,
we have travelled the world by ourselves and we have thrived when new challenges have presented themselves. There is no dream
or goal that we cannot achieve, since from where we stand,
atop this mountain, we can see over any obstacle.”
We were also honoured to have Mr. R.H. Thomson address the audience, for he is a Canadian who is doing very important work internationally through his project, The World Remembers. To enjoy Mr. Thomson’s inspiring speech on video, wherein he compares NJC students to astronauts, please visit NJC’s YouTube channel.
