莱斯特·B·皮尔逊中学的学生伊萨拉·哈桑（Israa Hassan）确保自己的高中经历不仅丰富自己，也丰富了他人。志愿服务，领导人道主义行动以及组织学校的人权大会只是伊萨拉对周围人产生持久影响的众多方式之一。伊萨拉还指出，这些经历不仅增强了她自己的技能，也帮助了他人。“我现在比以往任何时候都更加适应环境，可以轻松找到问题的创造性解决方案。我能更容易地分派任务，能够有效地管理时间。这些机会不仅让我成长，也使我变得更加思维开放，我现在更能够理解不同的观点。”

作为12年级学生，伊萨拉被认为是一个变革的推动者，既在学校层面上，又在全国范围内。因其在人权和社会正义意识方面的贡献，她被选为阿尔伯塔省的变革者和毕业生，由WE.org评选而出。作为这一荣誉的一部分，伊萨拉将作为省代表参加WE庆祝2020届毕业生活动，并发表毕业生代表致辞。请于6月6日晚上8点（东部时间）在CTV上收看WE庆祝活动，观看伊萨拉的毕业致辞和庆祝活动。祝贺伊萨拉和其他2020年的毕业生。

Lester B Pearson High School student, Israa Hassan made sure her high school experience was an enriching one, but not just for herself, for others also. Volunteering, leading humanitarian efforts and organizing a Human Rights Conference at the school are just a few of the many ways Israa has left a lasting impact on those around her. Israa has also noted that these experiences enhanced her own skills in addition to helping others. “I’m now more adaptable than ever and can easily find creative solutions for problems. I can delegate tasks with more ease and am able to manage my time efficiently. Not only have these opportunities allowed me to grow, they have also made me more open minded, and I’m now better able to understand different points of view.”

A grade 12 student, Israa is being recognized as an agent for change and a leader both at the school level, and nationally. For her contributions in Human Rights and Social Justice awareness, she has been selected as Alberta’s change maker and graduating student by WE.org. As part of this recognition, Israa will be serving as the valedictorian representing our province as a part of WE Celebrate Class of 2020. Tune into the WE Day Special on June 6 at 8 PM ET/PT on CTV to watch Israa’s valedictorian address and the celebration. Congratulations to Israa and her fellow graduates of 2020.
