It has been what feels like a million years ago that I was in school. Having admitted that fact and the fact that I can relate to those of you who are living in low-income communities which was part of my youth, I would like to wish you all the best in this “new world” we have acquired and that none of us have ever experienced. With luck we will never again. I know from my experience with the youth of today from the aspect of my long term involvement in Apprenticeship Training in Ontario and currently as a School Crossing Guard that you all have in my opinion the educational skills, attitude, abilities and life skills to succeed in all future aspects of your lives. The hundreds of the young adults I have met as a Crossing Guard are a part of my reasons for my best wishes as you are the older sisters and brothers who have helped in the development of these amazing younger adults. Once again, all the best in your future lives.
