On Friday 5 students received their high school diplomas and graduated as the first class of 2012. The ceremony was held in the girls spritual living center. David W was one of the graduates that spoke. When first coming to West Ridge he was a full year behind in credits. He never thought he’d graduate a quarter early, but through alot of hard work and packets he accomplished his goal. In his speech he thanked the staff for their help and support and talked about not giving up. Perseverance seemed to be the “theme” for the graduation as both Sarah M and Lincoln M reflected on their high school years and the growth they had experienced while attending West Ridge Academy.
Guy Hardcastle was the keynote speaker. He encouraged the graduates to do three things. 1-Do hard things; 2-Learn to love the process and the results will follow; 3-Protect and use your power of choice. He challenged them to live a life that matters and then quoted the poem by Micahel Joshepson.
A Life That Matters
Live a life that matters
Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to
someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won’t matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end.
It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant
Even your gender and skin colour will be irrelevant.
So what will matter?
How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got,
but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice
that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a
lasting loss when you’re gone.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who
loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident.
It’s not a matter of circumstance, but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.
The boys soccer team fought hard and got their first win of
the season last night against ICS. Again we were a man down so this win came
with great effort from the boys. Reed H scored on a header with an
assist from Dan R, and Adam J scored on a long 25 yard shot from the
wing. Thank you for all your support.

up. They dug deep and pulled out everything they had to bring home this win. I’m so proud of our girls!

Last Friday we had the great opportunity of having Army Brig. Gen. Carl Timmerman come and present an assembly on the Civil War which claimed over 640,000 lives. He was dressed in a historic civil war uniform as he presented his vast collection of
artifacts from the war. Over the years he has collected uniforms, sabres, bayonettes, muskets, revolvers, holsters, cannons
etc. He talked about the war, and how it made America who she is today. He told personal stories of families, including his own great grandfather who was a plantation owner and later a sheriff in VA. Many of the soldiers were the same age of the students here at West Ridge Academy. He told a story of a married couple who didn’t want to be separated so the wife portrayed herself as a soldier. They were both killed at the same time in the war. Carl’s goal is for the youth to learn more about the sacrifices made for them.
Carl also had the opportunity of helping bring up the War vessel H.L. Hunley, the world’s first successful combat submarine. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45980970/?ocid=ansmsnbc11
