Spring is a time of great pride for many parents as our children graduate from high school, university, and community college and move onto the next challenge in life. I was pleased to attend a number of high school graduation ceremonies throughout Saint John as well as our largest class ever at UNBSJ at Tucker Park.
This is a very special time to spend with family and friends to mark the significant achievements of our hard working children. Our family is no different, and along with my children and other members of the Zed family, we were all extremely pleased to attend the graduation of my oldest son Andrew from Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, where he has bee for the past four years completing a business degree.
It is with great hope that I have watched him grow up and give something back by volunteering both in New Brunswick and abroad as a summer aid worker with the "Volunteer Internship Community Development Africa Program" teaching in a one room classroom, made of mud and sheet metal crammed with hundreds of eager African AIDS orphans waiting to receive a basic education in Nairobi Kenya.
I want to congratulate all students in Saint John, Rothesay, Grand Bay-Westfield, Quispamsis on their excellent achievements and wish them all the best in the future.
