BMG 2020 Grammarian Issue 4

9 ALWAYS GET UP NO MATTER WHAT How many of us were challenged by the thought of just staying in BED! Is there a point to getting up? I will stay here for just five more minutes! This is just too much! Despite all of this, you got up, got dressed and you turned up to Tutor Group and classes, albeit if it meant you were still consuming breakfast in front of the screen. You got up! You had put one foot in front of the other, even when you thought you couldn’t. As you plan and move towards the future, and if faced with uncertainty, just remember to keep moving forward, for you never really know the strength that lies within until you look at everything you have overcome and achieved. So, as we wish you all the best for the future, remember that a true test of character is not how you are on your best days, but how you respond on challenging days. AND this has been reflected in your strength of character this year. Congratulations class of 2020. You’ve made it! – Ms Natalie Desira, Year 12 Coordinator (Valedictory Presentation Speech)
