Change
In Chapel, a Grade 10 student from Lonsdale’s House spoke to us about change:
For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Ngabo, and for those of you that do know me, my name is either Engee, or Engine, or Ngabu, or Engabu or any other accidental nicknames in my ever-growing list of accidental nicknames. I’m a new student here, even though I don’t feel very new anymore considering that I’ve been studying at Shaw for a few months now. The topic I really wanted to share with you today was something I learned to appreciate over the winter holidays and now hopefully you will too: change. Now I’ll be honest with you, before this winter holiday, I hated anything that took me out of my comfort zone, change included. And I don’t even use the word hate that often, because as many of you know, I don’t hate; I detest. But before this event, I really, really loathed change. . . .
