Field Trips & Events Fine Arts Day LET YOUR CREATE SIDE SHINE // The University of Lethbridge Fine Arts Day provided our students the opportunity to experience everything available to them within the Faculty of Fine Arts by creating customized workshops put on by the University professors, instructors, and students. 22 Student Life Skills Alberta SHOWING OFF OUR SKILLS // Skills Alberta promotes excellence in trade & technology careers through skills competitions and hands-on programs for students.

Liesl Steinborn had a strong season. She went undefeated at a tournament; placed 4th out of 15 at Rural provincials to qualify for provincials with the top five wrestlers moving on. She then placed 6th at provincials. A strong showing for her. Andrea Harvey was very strong at all tournaments. She made all her opponents step up and compete as she had a quick start no matter how experienced her opponent was. She was a rookie who surprised a lot of wrestlers. She placed second out of 12 wrestlers at Rural Provincials winning a silver medal. Then went on to place fifth out of 15 at Provincials. Peter Waeckerlin surprised the provincial wrestling world last year by winning a bronze medal in provincials. This last season he was strong at all tournaments. He placed first out of 12 wrestlers at Rural Provincials winning a gold medal. At Provincials he placed third to win a bronze medal, narrowly missing out on a chance for a shot at the gold. He was ranked as the #1 wrestler in the province for most of the year in his weight class. He might have lost a couple matches, but was never beat. He was a strong wrestler who was very respectful of his opponents and represented his school very well. Our Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Year award was given to Peter Waeckerlin. Curling // There were two curling teams this year. The mixed team comprised of Keeley Miller, Cole Swarbrick, Karlee Martin and Thane Buckingham, won against Bow Island at Divisionals and moved on to Zones in Lethbridge. At Zones they placed third. The girls team, comprised of Sonja Mellema, Ashleigh Little, Jordyn Clarke and Jessi Young, had a bye at Divisionals and moved onto a great first appearance at Zones. 28 29 Sr. Boys Basketball// The SV Boys Basketball Team had another successful season, finishing with an overall record of 19 wins, 14 losses, and were League, Zone, and Provincial Consolation Finalists.

Myers 2016-2017 A HIT AT MYERS II After weeks of rehearsals, and right down to literal last minute painting, the curtains opened and audiences were treated to a wonderful show that will bring heart-warming memories for years to come to anyone that saw the show. 54th STREET PLAYERS 32 33 STUDENT LIFE 34 W.R. Myers 2016-2017 A classic Broadway musical. A timeless story of the intergenerational conflict. This play had been on my short list of possible productions for years, the problem being, “Who would play Tevye?" The role demanded that “just right” actor. After working with Diane Llewelyn-Jones on Annie she approached me with a solution. Do the show the way Myers had done it in 1975, have a school staff member play Tevye. In 75 Mr. Frank Sudol rose to the challenge of playing Tevye, in 2017 we were blessed to have our own very talented staff member Mr. Dale Friesen assume the mantle of Teyve. It seemed that Fiddler was destined to be produced at Myers at least one more time. This is not to say the play was not without its challenges. A significant technical hurdle had to be cleared when we were not able to recruit a pit band, and there is always the task of turning the gym into a theater for a 3 day run of the show. Thanks to an amazingly talented, and energetic production team Myers was able to provide a venue to show case the talents of sixty-two students. When we did Grease in 2007 I did not know what to expect, would students participate, would an audience come? It is as they say, “If you build it they will come.” Through the years Myers musicals have enjoyed tremendous support from the school body, and community at large, and I am very grateful for having the opportunity to play my part as a director, stage manager, lighting & technical director, and as with Fiddler, producer. I am especially grateful for my senior production team: Fiddler on the Roof Diane Llewelyn-Jones................................................Director & Set Design Jessie Ellingson..................................................................Choreographer Sara Lee..............................................................................Vocal Director Nicole Leavitt and Julie Wood.....................................................Costumes Ben Steinborn, Shane Lumley, and Howard Kehler...........Set Construction Taralyn Heezen and Hyrum Moriyama....................................

Athletes had the opoortunity to attend tournaments in Medicine Hat and Lethbridge. The Grade 9 athletes were very successful bringing home multiple 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes. Our two mixed doubles senior teams won the gold medal at zones in Medicine Hat. Shantelle Bennett, Dakota Huddlestun, Christian Manahan and Sophie Simek all attended provincials in Red Deer. st® TRAVEL CLUB This year the Travel Club used the Easter Holidays to travel to Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Italy, and The Vatican! travel club// We were gone a total of 11 days, and with the help of our tour guide Paolo, we walked over 83 kilometers! We went shopping in Prague, took a tour of the city, and tried some delicious food! After that, we drove to Munich and went to Dachau concentration camp for a sobering reminder of what not to let ever happen again. Afterwards, we visited the Palace in downtown After Munich, we travelled on to Austria and the Swiss Alps. There was a lot of snow and it reminded us of home! We drove up the mountain to see Neuschwanstein castle. It was like looking at something out of a story book! After a long, windy up hill climb on foot we were taken on a tour. It was breathtaking! Munich as well as having pretzels and schnitzel! We watched the Glockenspiel clock chime and walked around MarienPlatz. Our group made some lifelong friends with others that were on our bus-from Calgary, Quebec and Massachusetts! It truly was a trip of a lifetime! A tour of the city helped us understand where the Nazi regime started from and how the city dealt with Hitler during The Second World War. 44 TRAVEL CLUB BAND// The Concert and Stage Bands had a busy year. They performed at the Tri-School BBQ, Remembrance Day, Christmas Concert, Music of the Night Concert with Museaus (string quartet), Graduation, for Taber Day Care and the Year End Concert. The Concert Band also hosted the Dr. Hamman Grade l'sto show them all of the different instruments.. The Bands travelled to Calgary on April 27-29, 2017. They performed at two schools, participated in a music clinic, went to see Roger and Hammersteins' Cinderella and also saw the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra perform music from Elton John, Andrew Lloyd Weber and Paul McCartney and ended the trip by playing laser tag. BAND// 52 STUDENT LIFE 53 sllliisiii^^^ The SV team won the Tier 3 banner and also provincials for a 2nd year in a row! 'fil^M S.V. Girls Rugby// W.R. Myers rugby SV program was once again another successful season. We hosted our own inaugural SV pre-season tournament, bringing teams from Alberta and a Touring Side from Ontario. We went 4-0 in that festival. We also took the team to our first COUGAR CLASSIC tournament in Red Deer, where we took second place with a 3-1 record losing in the final. 54 South zone HERin girls' RUGBY " The JV season was successful once again. This rugby program that aims to develop fundamental rugby skills and to learn the complicated game of rugby was well received by the girls. The team's record was as even as it gets - winning exactly half of the games in both tournaments as well as league play. The team was young this year, but that was not at all shown in their courage, work ethic, and willingness to succeed. Well done on the season ladies! .V. Girls Rugby// 55 Our track and field team was small but very competitive. Unfortunately the weather was not very cooperative for our divisional and zone meets. Our athletes put in their best effort and were very successful. Cody Stange was the aggregate champion for Grade 9 Males and placed 4th in the 100 and 200m races at Zones. Dylan Johnson defended his zone title in the 3000m race which qualified him for provincials in Edmonton. li^W Abbey Allred Ty Anderson Favorite Class: Propably art because of the independence, but I loved all my teachers.

(Jamie White) And the golden question is, “A, B, or C?” 7 MYERS STUDENTS PAINT A PICTURE OF FUN As they let their true colors (red and gold) show through. What is “The Art of Fun”? If you were to ask any one of our students, past or present, they would all answer W.R. Myers is the art of fun. Myers school spirit and loyalty always shines through on our annual Fun Day at the park. The grades compete against one another in a medley of fast-paced events ranging from the “Ghetto Van Cram” to the true test of in­feriority, “War Games”, and even included a giant water fight to end the annual episode. The day was dedicated to our bold football team, but that didn’t mean they were the only ones having a blast. The Grade 12’s swept the days’ events and won the school flag which is a most prestigious event. Participation was great from all ends. The Grade 9’s were naturally a bit shy but soon got into the swing of things just in time to give the higher grades a run for their money in the final events. All-in-all, everyone, staff and students alike, will leave Myer’s knowing that the true “Art of Fun” is not a picture, object or skill, but a feeling of common bonding and pride like the school spirit that thrives at Myers. 8 These pages are dedicated to the students of W.R. Myers for without them there would be no student life. Student life means different things to different people. To some, it is sneeking down to the cafeteria to grab a quick snack, while to others it’s sleeping on the student couch during spare time. Whatever it is, it’s become an important part of every school day. It gives W.R. Myers character so as we look back at our years here we will have more to remember than tests and essays. We will also remember that this was the year we made student life into “A Work of Art”. Clockwise: Deanna Bullock, Rachel Grant, Tammy Evanson, and Mar­sha Johnson model the Volleyball Provincial shirts. Kim Hanke expresses the sign of peace. Mark Anderson shows his school spirit.

Bottom Right: Brad’s true self is revealed! 12 Our first dance of the year was on Friday, September 13. It was a great success and was the first dance at Myers to include Grade 9 and the new “no shoes” policy. This regulation was installed be­cause the gym floor was recently refinished. Therefore, it was nick-named the Barefoot Bash. The Hallowe’en dance was also a lot of fun for the students and many of them dressed up. Our music and D.J. for the dances at Myers are supplied by Evan How. He brings in his own system and helps make our dan­ces the big successes they are. Clockwise from Top Left: Coralee Kunz and Gina Belcastro; the Phantom of the Opera and sidekick teddy; Melanie, is that you under all that green? Our own little stockpile of shoes; and, of course, the couple of the evening: Mr. and Mrs. Grotesque — they don’t get out much. 13 This year our annual Christ­mas Formal was held at the Civic Center here in Taber. Besides Myers, Grassy Lake, Vauxhall, Hays, and Enchant were invited. Coats were checked in at the door and we even got to keep our shoes on. A live band, The Peace Dogs, was hired from Calgary. The music was loud and heavy. Some appreciated that more than others. While we were in our silks and tuxes, they wore ripped jeans and spandex. Clockwise from Top Left: The only Santa that showed up at the dance? Are you having fun yet, Kami? Mike, what are you hiding under the table? Shirley, Rachelle, and Pam at their best. Dawn, what are you drinking? 14 * November 23 and 24, 1990 heralded a momentous occasion for the students and staff of W.R. Myers High School. For only the second time ever, we hosted the 3A PROVINCIAL boys volleyball championships. Any time a school hosts a pro­vincial championship of any kind, it provides the school with a tremendous opportunity to showcase its student spirit, staff involvement and school team expertise. We had that opportun­ity at this event and exhibited, in all areas, a school that we can be proud of. Our tournament chairman is a former staff member and a dynamic individual, Ms. Debbie Sargeant. Debbie is an orga­nizer extraordinaire, and the success of the tournament was due in large part to her super effort. Our staff got involved in the logistics of such a major under­taking right down to the last person. They were enthusiastic, supportive, and showed a pride in our school that only good staffs can demonstrate. They were also a significant reason why this event was such a success. Our student body supported the tournament and our team for the week leading up to and the days of the Provincial. They came in numbers, made more noise than I’ve heard at a vol­leyball match in this school in a long time, and were a major reason why I felt so satisfied along with my players at the end of the tournament. Our team came to play this weekend. They played their best ball in 3 years, of what was for all of them, their graduation year. They played in the best matches of the tournament, and provided every team they played with their toughest competition. The final results were as follows: Round Robin: First: Second: Semi-Finals: Pool A Myers High School Drumheller Pool B Fort McMurray Wetaskiwin Wetaskiwin 2, Myers 1 Drumheller 2, Fort McMurray 0 Bronze Medal Match: Myers 2, Fort McMurray 0 Gold Medal Match: Wetaskiwin 2, Drumheller 0 I have coached volleyball at Myers for 16 years, and this Provincial ranks as one of the best, if not THE best of them all, due in no small part to the great support from everyone from fans to committee members. Provincials is a prestigious event, and we pulled it off with flying colours. From Top to Bottom: Our Myers Provincial Volleyball team. Wetaskiwin, the 1st place team.

Back Row, Left to Right: Wendy Harris, Jennifer Burgess, Michelle Fournier, Melissa Fraser, Sandra Reti, Chad Gough Front: Gordie Schneider, Denise Mikalson, Ryan Hendricks Missing: Dave Larson, Lisa McNamara This year we did not pick the theme “A Work of Art” solely to give credit to Myers talented artists, but also because art can reflect the 1991 school year at Myers. Any work of art is a skilled composition filled with color, brilliance, vitality, and a splash of the unexpected. At Myers you’ll find that everyday and each ac­tivity is filled with all sorts of flare and energy. We as editors hope you appreciate these elements and reflect upon them. We would like to extend our appreciation to Jim Saunders, Bran­don Bly, Dave Shritt, and all members of the Journalism class for making this year “A Work of Art.” A^^U^^ 16 CLU0S organisationsI found it a great pleasure to be president of the Students’ Coun­cil. We found it to be a big responsibility to fulfill our commit­ment to the students. We had good times and some heated arguments. A special thanks to Mr. Gammon who was always there for advice whenever we needed it. I would like to thank all the teachers and students that helped us out during the year. Have a great time in high school in ’91-92, and good luck to Marty and next year’s Student Council.

Despite starting off with a new team of advisors, we feel Key Club is in a stage of growth and renewal. We increased our size and started to increase awareness of Key Club throughout the school. All of our members did a terrific job, most of whom donated upwards of 50 hours of their time to do voluntary fund raising and community service. This year was our thirty-seventh anniversary; and, thanks to the great support from members and advisors, we made it a success. 19 MYERS MUSIC The 1990-1991 year was an exciting year for the W.R. Myers Music Program. The Myers Music Association purchased 45,000 in new equip­ment. This new equipment replaced old and damaged equipment that was used by the program. This year also saw the band tour California during the Easter break. The band performed at Disneyland and the Disneyland Hotel as guests of the Disney Corporation. They also appeared at Pasedana High School as guests of their Music Department. These arc but a few of the many ap­pearances by the group. W.R. Myers Music Program wish to thank the Music Association for their strong support.

It was decided that this year’s celebration would en­compass two days: a senior dinner and dance on May 24 and a cap and gown ceremony on June 26, after the last exam. These events both re­quired the committee to meet once a week to make decisions on a va­riety of things such theme, music, invitations, decorations, etc. All of this takes time, patience and com­mitment. We would like to thank the graduating class for their support in the new format and wish next year’s committee good luck.

We went to Medicine Hat to a three-school conference to get our ideas. We then had our meetings. We had many ideas proposed for the year; however, only a few were carried out. We had a starve-a-thon on January 18-19 to raise money. We gave certif­icates to Checkstop to give to people who were caught not drinking and driving. We also entered a float in the parade.

There were many displays present including those of various groups and individuals. An industrial arts class had a display and a Book Fair was present in which anyone could adopt a book and donate it to the W.R. Myers Library. Some of the students from Art classes 10, 20, and 30 had art for sale. No matter what your taste in art, you were bound to find it among the many different pieces of work done by these students. A talent show ranged from a “Salute to the Troops” dance (Sharia Nishida, Lisa Smith, Larissa Collett and Kim Hart) to vocal selections (Becki Gough and Angela Jensen) to an acting solo from Thornton Wilder (Darcea Murphy). Also displaying their talents were Cara Garrett with an oral interpretation, Joseph Anderson on the piano, and Kent Pryor with a clarinet solo. As incentive to attend the art show, a $100 door prize was offered to students who attended. Patricia Wright was the lucky winner of the evening.

This season the team finished in second place in the Tier IH division of the Southern Alberta High School Football League. The team’s season was highlighted by victories over St. Mary’s, Kate Andrews, and High River, as well as a close loss to Winston Churchill. In playoff’s, the Rebels soundly defeated St. Mary’s again before losing a hard fought game to Raymond in the league’s Tier III final. Raymond, as well as Cardston, and L.C.I., went on from the league to win pro­vincial championships in their respective tiers. Another highlight for the team was the selection of Jeff Thurston as a league all-star at the defensive tackle position. Jeff also won an honorable mention on offen­sive line along with Jared Bly (defensive back), Ryan Buck (running back and linebacker), and Randy Oliver (receiver). Throughout the season, the Rebels continued to improve and to ma­ture with experience. Many key roles were played by returning players and it appears the Rebels will be back in contention next year. This year’s team also sees the graduation of many players whose leadership and examples will be missed. Joining the coaching staff this year was Wayne Pallett. His experi­ence was welcomed by the returning staff of Chip Koop, Keith Williams, and Darwin “Top Dog” Lund.

Despite the downs, the girls continued to improve their skills and maintain their enthusiasm. Because of their con­sistent efforts, they had more victories at the end of the season. Several of the Grade 9 and 10 players also played on the senior team. The seniors had a very busy schedule. Like the juniors, the seniors practiced every day from the end of Au­gust to the beginning of November. Besides playing in league games every Tuesday, the team competed in tournaments every weekend throughout the season. Although the girls competed well in tournaments, they never placed first. With regard to the zone playoffs in Cardston, the team came close to defeating McCoy High School from Med­icine Hat in the semi-finals; McCoy ended up going to pro­vincials. The senior team will be losing five players since they will be graduating. We coaches and the remaining players wish these people all the best. Those who will be coming back should form a strong base for next year’s team. FROM THE TOP . . MYERS VOLLEYBALL B STRAIGHT Back Row: Coach Del Cleland.

The seven players that con­stituted this year’s team were what remained of the 12 players that started in Grade 9. Making this team competitive has not been easy; they are an odd combination of talent and mental attitude, but the team all stuck it out. Our team became consistent, focused, and it all paid off in a provincial bronze medal. I remember walking in with the team at the opening ceremonies in front of our own school; the frustration of our first game; beating Drumheller in a two-hour match; the tightest game the team played during the semis against Wetaskiwin; re-grouping to easily win against Fort McMurray for the bronze; and hearing about all the fun the team had at the post-season party. Competitive athletics teaches you a lot about yourself, whether you know it or not. Each and every one of the players will go down on my list as individuals who learned from me and taught me at the same time. As a coach, I thank you for your dedication to my ideals and your commitment to finish what you started.

Myers High School WO tho Welcome to Wherever You Are Graduation Ceremony ^^ ^^ Graduation Banauet 'Prinejbafs f^e&fress Johanna Kutanzi Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Morning! Welcome to the W.R. Myers High School Cap and Gown Ceremonies of 2014! I can’t believe how fast the year went, that I am once again standing in front of our graduating class - you are looking fine! I am happy that you are having this moment. I can’t believe the weather! Generally, on graduation day, our only complaint is that it is too hot - especially for the boys in their handsome suits later in the afternoon. Boys - we have good news ... Last Saturday, I was cleaning out the closet in my daughter’s room - and that, by the way, should be a job for someone who has done something desperately wrong and is being punished for some act! Anyway, we decided to take a break - go for a walk. It was snowing! The toques came out, the mitts should have come out - so, if we look on the up side of things, it is not snowing today! For the last two weeks or so, if I ran into someone and they know that I am connected to Myers, there was generally a comment along the line of, “Grad is coming up soon.” And so it was on Tuesday, as I took the kids for an evening haircut, that I ran into a dear friend. I was commenting that I had not yet written my speech for grad and that really all I want for the kids is for them to be happy and well. How do you turn that into a speech? And that truly is, speaking on behalf of the staff of W.R. Myers High School, our wish for you - be happy and be well. Now, if being happy and being well simply happened on their own, then I could just take my seat and wish everyone an outstanding day. That is not the case. It seems like everything takes at least a bit of work, and even something as seemingly simple as being happy and well, requires thought, time and attention. You have many journeys ahead of you - hopefully most will be joyful and exciting and some may, will be, difficult. Though it all, know yourself, treat yourself well and never sell yourself short - that would be such a shame. You know, and I know, that were Brett here today, and maybe he is, he would want only the very best for you - he would look at you with that convincing smile, that twinkle in his eye, maybe tilt his head a bit - and want you to be happy and well. Brett sat right in front of me in LA enrichment, probably because of his hearing he sat in the front in a lot of his classes, and I remember that look very well - usually there was a touch of mischief in there as well. I hope that you, our graduates, feel well-prepared to plan and navigate the next step of your journey. I hope that you will carry forward moments of pride, struggles that have turned into accomplishments, memories of giggles and giddiness, friendships and true and genuine value of who you are and all you contribute. I hope you remember, always, how important you are - to your family, to your friends and to yourself - there is tremendous value in you. And because of that you are wished a lifetime of being happy and well - of discovering and nurturing your talents, of committing to work or study that is meaningful to you, enjoying the moments as they present themselves, of loving and being loved. To all the parents today - how are you doing? Another milestone! I was at my daughter’s kindergarten Mother’s Day Tea on Wednesday - same daughter with the messy room! The tea was beautiful! Mrs. Anderson was kind enough to put together a video of moments throughout the kindergarten year - and the really good thing was that I found out I was not the only sap out there - the rest of the Moms were crying too, as we watched this video capture the moments of fun and growing up for our children. And I thought about you - the parents of our grade 12s - and the love you have for your children, the insane pride we have as parents and the bumps, hugs and hoorays along the way. I hope that you too enjoy this moment. Thank you so much for all you have done for your children along the way - kids need their parents and they could not have done it without you. And, Happy Mother’s Day! I want to end with one more story. Last Friday afternoon, I took some time to make sure I actually had something nice to wear for today. After shopping, I ran into a former parent and get an update on two of his children and a nephew as well (Jance, Alex and Tom are all doing well!) - we chat for a minute and continue on. Then I go to confirm my hair appointment for this morning - the kids that spend 200 days with me know that hair is not a big priority. Anyway, I run into Jenny Meyer and say to her, “Hey, your Mom was able to find something pretty for me to wear and now I am getting my hair - I’m set.” Without missing a beat, Jenny said, “This town will take care of you.” This town will take care of you - that is what we call home! Remember that you have a home, that you are valued in this community and your hometown, as represented by everyone who made it a priority to be here today, stands behind you, wanting you to be happy and well. Whether your next step takes you down the street, across the globe or somewhere in between (like PEI), please know that this is your home, you will always be Myers alumni and that we will always wish you well. As is customary, my final task is to introduce the class valedictorian. This year’s valedictorian has been a quiet and unassuming student, someone who goes about the work with a great deal of diligence and helpful curiousity. Over the four curiosityyers, there has been a consistent display of the most pleasant manners and the presence of a warm smile. And if you talk about farming, he really lights up! Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our valedictorian for the Class of 2014 - Ben Noble.^O J ^ l/a/ee&iforfan Ben Noble Good morning, well I’m glad that everyone was able to find the l-Rena. That’s exactly how we want to start Grad off with, 1000 tickets with arena spelt wrong. Right now all my teachers are going “Oh Ben, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!” And they are right; I have no room to talk about spelling mistakes. In fact when my elementary school teachers find out that I am the valedictorian they will probably say “Well he must have finally learned how to spell!” The fact is I’m still working on that one! We learned a great deal since that start of our education 13 years ago, it is hard to fathom that we started out in kindergarten sitting on the floor learning that glue was not edible, I’m pretty sure Cole Nakamura learned that the hard way, and we began to slowly progress through the school hierarchy. We went from top dogs, to the bottom of the pile when we transferred to middle school. It was at middle school that many of us had our first slow dance and learned that the opposite gender was not really all that bad. We also learned that you can actually make too many posters. We looked on at the High school kids desiring to be more like them, thinking that they knew exactly what was going on. Then we became the high school kids and we learned that we were wrong, we didn’t actually have everything figured out automatically. In high school we learned the significance of a driver’s licence and the friends that it brought. We learned so very much at school, whether it was academic or life lessons, we always learned something new. And it was due to our teachers that we learned anything at all. I think that I speak for everyone when I say thank you to our teachers. I would personally like to thank the staff at W.R. Myers for your incredible dedication, and your commitment to your student’s education. Additionally I would like to thank you for your guidance, your friendship and the role you have played in our lives. Most importantly, I would like to thank our parents for their support, their tol§rance and their understanding; it cannot be easy to raise a teenager. Without parents and teachers, none of us would be who we are today, and none of us would be where we are today. I am honored to be chosen as your valedictorian, but it is also a great responsibility because I feel that I have the obligation to say something meaningful on the day that marks our transition from children to adults. Things are going to drastically change when June arrives, we are all aware of the challenges that we will face as we head out on our separate ways. Life will not always be simple or perfect; our class knows this better than most. It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge one of us is not present today, and that person is Brett Forchuk, I do however believe that you would all agree that he is certainly with us today in spirit. Today is significant because it indicates that we are about to set out on diverging paths. Edmund Hillary once said that “It is not the mountain we conquer, but rather ourselves.” What he means by this quote is that when one sets out to accomplish a goal, it is not the physical obstacles we face that impede our success, but rather the limitations we place upon ourselves. Like climbing a mountain, life is going to require skills, tools and companions to achieve success. Before you are able to climb a mountain you must first educate yourself on the topography, and the climate of the mountain, you will need to train long before you are able to attempt to climb. You will need people to travel with, people who you are able to trust and depend on, this being said you will have to be trusted and depended on as well to reach the summit. Einstein said “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” I believe if you combined the two ideologies together, you would be able to conclude that it does not matter if you achieve your goal of reaching the summit if to do so you have to impair someone else’s journey. Your character is what will remain long after you have reached the apex. Sometimes you will need to be humble enough to allow your companion to lead rather than yourself because they know the path better than you do. And sometimes you will need to admit to yourself that you are not ready to continue the climb until you have rested. An individual is only as strong as their skills and their mindset allow them to be. So improve your skills and get in the right mindset because the only limitations you have are the ones that you allow to affect you. With that in mind climb a mountain, chase after your dreams because it is better to fail at something, than to succeed at doing nothing at all. Even if you don’t make it to the peak it doesn’t matter, because life is not about the destination it is about the journey. Go out into the world, conquer your own doubt, conquer adversity, turn your limitations into strengths, and climb your mountain. Congratulations, graduation class of 2014! I wish you all the best, God bless you, Thank you.
