What a pleasure it has been to watch you grow over the last
several years. I am overwhelmed with joy
when I look at you and think about your futures. Each of you has unique gifts and abilities,
which God has entrusted with you to make a difference in the world. I have no doubt that each of you will take
the core values you’ve learned at home and at Trinity and touch the lives of
others you meet along the way. You will
move mountains! Trinity has been a
special place for each of you for so much of your lives. Remember that we will always be here for
you. We will be here to celebrate all of
your accomplishments in the future and we’ll cheer you on in all you do.
Elizabeth- Your smile lights up the room! That smile, your kind heart, and your love
for others will carry you very far in this world. You have the ability to make other people
happy and this is so important in all of the relationships you will have in
your life. Keep smiling!
Phillip-I will never forget the day I walked in and you were
deep in study of your bible during silent reading time. This is the epitome of what I know to be
special about the time you’ve spent at Trinity.
You’ve learned the importance of keeping God first. You have the gift of leadership and being a
role model. Remember that as you move on
in life. You will change the lives of
others just by being you!
Kayla-Oh the talents you have! You are such a well- rounded young lady! I’ve enjoyed watching your academic
achievements, your musical talents, your dramatic interpretations, and your
relationships with your friends. You
have so many talents which will allow you to showcase God’s amazing work. Your hard work, determination, and strength
of character shows in all you do.
Cori- You are my silent, strong graduate. You have the unique gift of being a role
model by just being who you are. You make
others notice you, not by the words that you say, but by the actions that you
show on a consistent daily basis. You
are a true Christian role model and share God’s love through each action you
make.
Thomas-You make me laugh!
This is also a true God given gift.
You have so many talents-academically and musically that you’ve shared
with us at Trinity. Those will give you
much enjoyment in life. Your ability to
make others laugh will give us much enjoyment in life! I know being one of two boys in the classroom
can be tough, but your lighthearted attitude and love of life has shown
through!
Myah- You are an amazingly talented young lady. You have so many special gifts-but the one
thing that stands out to me whenever I see you is your confidence in yourself. That, my dear, is something you need to hold
onto forever. Whenever life presents a
challenge, you will face it with an intense sense of self and get through it
with your head held high. Likewise, you
will face all of the joy in life with your beautiful smile, beautiful
character, and the gifts God has given you.
Claire- You are so much fun!
I have loved watching you over the years showcase your soccer talents,
your musical talents, and your academic abilities. And I can’t help but laugh when you are
around. You have a special way of
drawing in those who are around you.
Your personality is full of life and full of love for those who know
you. I have witnessed you help our
youngest Trinity Tigers and make them feel safe, and I’ve seen you interact
with our adult Trinity Tigers. You do
both with grace and kindness. This gift
will allow you to have special relationships throughout your life.
Sally- Your personality steals the show! You have the gift of optimism. Your laugh is contagious and you just bring a
smile to all of our faces! You
definitely have talents that are uniquely your own and you have so much fun
showcasing those talents. I’ve seen your
dramatic talents, your musical gifts, your creativity with a needle and
thread….and I’ve even seen a little snapshot of what could be a future movie
producing talent! Sally, your gifts and
talents will take you wherever you want them to!
Sydney-You are such an amazing young lady! Your talents are expansive and diverse. God has given you strong athletic abilities
that allow you to do what few other girls your age can do! Your educational future is bright. But, I think you have a special gift for
helping others. You are a role model for
our younger Trinity Tigers. I’ve seen
you help out younger students countless times-whether it be in latchkey helping
younger students, in the hallways helping somebody pick something up, helping
your sibling who is injured, or at church helping one of the crazy Poling kids! You have special gifts that will carry on
with you.
Madison Walls- God has given you many talents as well. You are smart, funny, and have so much
athletic ability. But I think the gift
that I’ve seen stand out strongly is true determination. As I watched you run the 800 meters at Track
and Field day, you made it look effortless.
But in watching you closely, I saw the grit and the determination that
allows you to be successful. I saw this
during the gymnastics fest as well. You
focus on your task and you show us that you want to do your best. This gift will be a true asset to you in
life. When things get tough, you will
roll up your sleeves and dig in. What a
perfect way to go through life!
Madison Watts- You have a quiet energy to you! And you are uniquely you! I love that you have your own personal style-
from your shoe choices to hats, you will wear what you like and what you think
is fun! This style works well in your
relationships. You are able to be
friends with just about anyone and that is a special thing. Your relationships in life will bring you so
much joy and you will be a good friend to so many people throughout your
life. God wants us to love each other
and you do that so naturally!
Kate- God has good things in store for you. He has entrusted you with a variety of gifts
and talents to pull from as you journey through your life. I have been blessed to witness your musical
talents, your academic achievements and your lively personality. I love that you believe it is truly important
to be different in this world---that will allow you to make a difference! What is most admirable is your personal
strength. You handle life’s challenges
with grace and optimism. You understand
that your faith is what carries you through.
Your positive attitude and your quiet strength allow everyone you are
around to notice you and learn from you.
You share God’s love in every conversation you have. You will do amazing things in life!
Friends, just like your class quilt shows, each of you is
unique. But together, you are breathtaking! You have made your mark on Trinity and we
will always have a special place in our hearts for you. I wish you the best of luck next year and for
years to come. Congratulations
Graduates!
