“You are worthy and deserving of every opportunity you want to go for.” ~ Jasmin Marshman

Brooks Secondary School's principal has advice for recent qathet School District graduates.

So here you are, now what? Well now it’s time for you to become unstoppable.

Whether you are jumping into something new with both feet or moving slowly at a measured pace, both are fine, just don’t stop moving forward.

Please don’t sit back and watch yourself live this life. Open the window, lean way out and yell out loud instructions to yourself to keep your butt in gear.

Do not stay in your lane. If it does not serve you, then it is not for you.

Change plans, keep pushing forward and do not give up. Don’t you dare ever give up because someone else thinks you don’t deserve it or aren’t good enough or it’s not your place. You are worthy and deserving of every opportunity you want to go for.

I hope you always remember that you are allowed to feel both brave and terrified at the same time when you are in the midst of change. And you are at that first big milestone of change right now.

We wish you all a safe and fun summer as you step into the unknown. We all here cheering for you.

~ Jasmin Marshman, principal, Brooks Secondary School
