    JESSIE RIPOLL 2013 GRADUATION SPEECH

    Distinguished guests, Members of the Board, Our Acting


    Principal - Mrs. Marcia Detry Fogah, our Vice Principal - Mr.
    Owen Henry, Members of the Clergy, teachers, parents,
    graduates, students, ladies and gentlemen, I greet you on behalf of
    the Jessie Ripoll Primary School PTA. It is with much pleasure
    that I stand here today to address the graduating class of 2013.
    Graduation is an important moment in life to celebrate
    accomplishments and to prepare for new experiences. Graduates,
    today marks the culmination of six years of hard work and
    dedication on your part but, as it is with hard work, the reward is
    sweet. Most of you have been rewarded with the school of your
    choice in the GSAT examination; to you I say congratulations and
    continue to work hard as you strive to achieve your goal. For
    those of you who might not be pleased with the schools you have
    been placed, do not despair. Remember, it is not the school that
    you attend but the strength of your character that will pull you
    through and hence determine your status in life. Therefore, go to
    the schools at which you have been placed with heads held high
    and with the determination to work harder to achieve educational
    fulfilment because it is not how you enter but how you leave. Not

    every child will learn the same things nor at the same rate but
    remember this, every child can learn. Believe in your abilities,
    work hard to achieve, and success will be yours because only with
    hard work and persistence will you be able to reap rewards.
    As we gather here today to celebrate your achievements at the
    end of six years of education at Jessie Ripoll Primary School,
    remember that life is a journey and this graduation exercise is a
    short stop on this journey. Take time to reflect on all you have
    accomplished and recognize that accomplishment comes from
    hard work and determination. Our celebration here today is to
    mark the end of one journey and the beginning of another. The
    end of course relates to your education at Jessie Ripoll while the
    beginning is the start of your high school education. At Jessie,
    you have had the benefit of a sound education with dedicated
    teachers who challenged you to learn even when some of you
    would have preferred to have more free times on your hand.
    Your education at Jessie has been far more than the academics;
    the extra-curricular activities and clubs that many of you
    participated in have helped in shaping your character in a
    positive way while teaching you the value of dedication and
    teamwork. You have learned social skills just from interacting
    with your teachers and classmates daily. All of these things have
    helped to prepare you for high school.

    Although saddened to see you leave, we are pleased to see you


    take the next step in the beginning of the rest of your lives. You
    are the future of Jamaica and the rest of the world, you are the
    men and women of tomorrow, so hold your heads high and as our
    motto states, Ever to Excel. Graduates, I implore you, always
    strive to be the best and remember, a good education is like a
    savings account, the more you put into it, the richer you are.
    As you leave this nurturing environment in which youve been
    raised, I urge you all...Please take the next step with
    CONFIDENCE.
    We wold like to take time out to recognise the dedicated parents
    who take the time to support these children. The many sleepless
    nights and long days and having to re-learn what you thought you
    had left behind. To you I lift my hat and say, job well done. Keep
    living by the PTAs motto, For The Advancement Of Our
    Children We Labour.
    And to our hard working teachers, without whom this would not
    have been possible, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU on behalf
    of the PTA. You have shown total dedication and commitment
    and have given your all. THANK YOU.
    Graduates remember, your graduation is not only an ending
    worth celebrating, but it is also a new beginning, and surely, a
    memorable milestone on your journey through life.

    Again, on behalf of your PTA, Id like to congratulate you all, and


    wish you the best of luck going forward. Make us proud. I know
    you will.
    I am,
    Constantine D. Martin
    President
    JRPS-PTA
    2012 - 2014
