Congratulations Graduates
Monday, June 7, 2021
It’s graduation season and thank goodness this year things are back to normal, the students getting to participate in ceremonies marking a milestone in their lives, in the process bringing so much joy and pride to their parents and exended families.
Local papers have been featuring photos of the graduating classes and it is so encouraging to look at these bright beautiful faces and to think about all of the wonderful adventures these young people will embark upon. Which will become a nurse, a doctor, teacher, lawyer, electrician or plumber?
The sky is the limit and within a relatively short time on reservations, the sky has become higher than it used to be. Most of these graduates already have plans for additional education and training. Even those who may not be graduating know the importance of getting a G.E.D. That sure makes us older tribal members feel good for that was not always the case for our generations.
