Graduates honored for accomplishments at annual banquet
1
With jrriuhmtion comes great expectations and self-pride, Graduates
and their families have reason to celebrate as their student steps across
the stayc to receive their diploma. Much hard work has gone into
reaching that moment.
Such accomplishments are not shared by the youth alone. Several
middle-aped tubal members recently received their GED certificates.
Though later in life, their success is greatly important and was recog
nized as such during the annual graduation banquet held last week at the
Agency Longhouse.
Keynote speaker for the evening was Bodic Shaw, who is currently
working on his Master's Degree in Natural Resources at the Oregon Slate
University. Shaw encouraged the recent graduates to "remember those
who got you here." He also advised the students to set individual and
family goals and stated that college may not be "right for you now, but
may a tew years down the road." Shaw served in the US Air Force four
years before attending college.
Emccc for the evening, Wendall Jim, congratulated the students and
suggested they "seek help from a special person" when in need of
assistance while in school. "II that person is not available, then return to
the Indian ways.... I believe in the Native American ways. This is what
makes us unique."
Jim also encouraged the students to be proud of their accomplish
ments. "People may not come up and say 'we're proud'. But wc are.. ..We
celebrate with you, we honor you," he said.
Also honored at the dinner were teachers who retired at the end of the
school year. Rob I Listings, a long-time Alternative Education instructor,
retired. "I never taught anyone anything" while teaching, Hastings said.
"But I've helped many, many kids learn a lot of things."
