By Emily Stennett
“Cultivate your garden... Do not
depend upon teachers to educate you
... follow your own bend, pursue
your curiosity bravely, express
yourself, make your own harmony…
In the end, education, like
happiness, is individual, and must
come to us from life and from
ourselves.” This is a quote from Will
Durant. I think what he was trying to
say is that a good education comes
from within ourselves. We could
have the greatest teachers in the
world, but we still have to depend on
ourselves to take in what we have
been taught and apply it.
Tonight, we graduate from East
Wawanosh Public School after 10
years of elementary education. Over
the years, our teachers have stressed
to us that it is our habits and
attitudes that will decide where we
go and what we will take with us
from any experience.
Over the last 10 years at East
Wawanosh, we have had some
amazing experiences. We’ve been on
overnight trips to Camp Celtic in
Lion’s Head and Jump at Wilfrid
Laurier University in Waterloo.
We’ve also been to Casa Loma and
Medieval Times in Toronto, and who
can forget the annual visits to the
Wawanosh Nature Centre? We’ve
had the opportunity to do some
awesome plays like last year’s
Grease, and numerous Christmas
concerts. A special thanks goes out
to the sports coaches for having
hope in our teams even if we don’t
always come out on top.
Going to school in a rural
community means that we have
gone through school with almost the
same people every year. This is a
good thing and a bad thing...we
know each other really well and
maybe the reason why, at times, we
can be a little challenging as a
group. We have also been able to
make some great memories together.
Through the years we have attended
up to 10 school fairs together,
marching down the hill from the
church to the arena, sometimes
biking on our incredibly decorated
bikes too. Every year there has been
one thing that I don’t think we will
ever forget. I think we could all say
that pranks pulled after health class
were pretty memorable, but this
year, by far, it had to be Garet
getting his finger stuck in a desk. I
will never forget the look on his face
when we were unable to pull his
