Tips I: High-School Grads and Triumph-Over-Adversity Spirit

tips i: A couple of seasoned trustees told me it was the best annual event in the district, according to Vancouver Observer. The Globe and Mail's Gary Mason wrote a wonderful column five years ago titled The School of Second Chances. One of the best tips I got was to make sure I went to the Vancouver School Board's VSB adult education graduation ceremony. He captured the joyous, triumph-over-adversity spirit of the event which he described as more profound than anything you experience at your standard high-school grad. I shed joyful tears every time.I spoke at regular high-school grads too. I went on to attend seven of them over the years and had the honour of speaking at most. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
