拥抱变革

致2022届CBE毕业班同学：

祝贺你们达到的这个重要的人生里程碑。你们正在进入一个全新可能性的世界。前方的道路应该激发你们的兴奋感，同时也会让你们对接下来会发生什么感到一些忧虑！

以下是真相：你们已经为这一刻做好了准备。在卡尔加里教育董事会度过的时光给予了你们批判性思维的能力，以应对挑战并抓住眼前的机会。

通过经历了一个充满变革的时期，你们已经磨练出了适应新情况的能力。全球大流行加强了你们在不确定性面前茁壮成长的决心。灵活性只是你们将会从中获得的一项财富。

通过隔离要求的独特环境，可能你们与最亲近的人待在一起的时间更多了，你们更加了解到家庭和朋友的重要性。当时光变迁令人不知所措时，他们是你们可以依靠的人。你们还建立了一支师长、教练和导师的网络，他们始终在那里支持你们的成长。

我们为你们的成就感到自豪。当你们毕业并进入更广阔的世界时，我希望你们能在每一个转折处都拥抱变革。我相信我代表所有人说，我们都对你们接下来的表现感到激动。

我向2022届毕业班献上真挚的祝贺！

Embrace Change

To the CBE Class of 2022,

Congratulations on reaching this important milestone in your life. You are entering a world of new possibilities. The road ahead ought to inspire a sense of excitement, as well as some apprehension of what comes next!

Here’s the truth: You are ready for this moment. Your time at the Calgary Board of Education has given you the critical thinking skills needed to take on the challenges and seize the opportunities in front of you.

You have honed your ability to adapt to new situations by virtue of living through a period of incredible change. The worldwide pandemic has strengthened your resolve to thrive in the face of uncertainty. ​Flexibility is but one of the assets that you will take forward as a result.

Through the unique circumstances of isolation requirements, it is also possible that you have spent more time with those closest to you and learned more about the importance of family and friends. These are the people you can lean on if changing times feel overwhelming. You have also created a network of teachers, coaches and mentors who are always there to support your growth. ​

We are proud of your accomplishments. As you graduate and move into the wider world, I hope you will embrace change at every turn. And, I know I speak for all of us when I say we are excited to see what you will do next.

My heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2022!

Christopher Usih
Chief Superintendent of Schools
