188
00:11:06,185 --> 00:11:07,819
I thought what can I

189
00:11:07,819 --> 00:11:09,950
possibly say
in a few words

190
00:11:09,950 --> 00:11:11,360
that would make
any difference

191
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,120
to all of you
at this time.

192
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,730
I thought I could share
some words picked up,

193
00:11:16,730 --> 00:11:19,010
words of wisdom picked
up along the way from

194
00:11:19,010 --> 00:11:20,659
famous people such as

195
00:11:20,659 --> 00:11:22,505
baseball great Yogi Berra,

196
00:11:22,505 --> 00:11:25,579
who said, come to the
fork in the road.

197
00:11:25,579 --> 00:11:30,380
Take it. Now I
might be humorous,

198
00:11:30,380 --> 00:11:31,999
but there's a powerful
message here,

199
00:11:31,999 --> 00:11:33,424
one that is at the heart,

200
00:11:33,424 --> 00:11:35,749
graduates of what
I urge you to do.

201
00:11:35,749 --> 00:11:38,690
I want you to jump on
your opportunities,

202
00:11:38,690 --> 00:11:40,759
seek out your challenges,

203
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:43,324
and do what needs
to be done.

204
00:11:43,324 --> 00:11:45,649
But first, I
strongly urge you

205
00:11:45,649 --> 00:11:47,630
to reflect today on

206
00:11:47,630 --> 00:11:49,175
what you stand for

207
00:11:49,175 --> 00:11:51,695
and your personal
vision for the future.

208
00:11:51,695 --> 00:11:53,960
If you know that
you will make

209
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,605
good choices when you
come upon those rope,

210
00:11:57,605 --> 00:11:59,494
those forks in the road.

211
00:11:59,494 --> 00:12:01,520
I also believe
that in each

212
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,169
of you is burning
a desire to

213
00:12:03,169 --> 00:12:04,880
leave here and
the pursuit of

214
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,529
the American dream in

215
00:12:06,529 --> 00:12:09,380
pursuit of success
and fulfillment.

216
00:12:09,380 --> 00:12:11,480
Those of you who accept

217
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,270
your diploma as a
passport to walk

218
00:12:14,270 --> 00:12:16,909
through the door of
opportunity will find

219
00:12:16,909 --> 00:12:19,909
not only good jobs and
financial rewards,

220
00:12:19,909 --> 00:12:21,904
but also the satisfaction

221
00:12:21,904 --> 00:12:24,199
that your life is
making a difference.

222
00:12:24,199 --> 00:12:27,920
You walk into a
world that has,

223
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,534
is in deep need of
American leadership.

224
00:12:31,534 --> 00:12:33,680
How well you contribute to

225
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:35,510
this world will become

226
00:12:35,510 --> 00:12:37,535
the measure of
your fulfillment.

227
00:12:37,535 --> 00:12:39,530
And a personal vision

228
00:12:39,530 --> 00:12:42,320
is your guideposts
along the way.

229
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,049
Among you here today
are many people with

230
00:12:45,049 --> 00:12:48,455
determination and
vision for the future.

231
00:12:48,455 --> 00:12:50,990
Kevin Shores is

232
00:12:50,990 --> 00:12:54,710
an excellent example
against the odds.

233
00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:56,810
This 32-year-old member of

234
00:12:56,810 --> 00:12:58,819

238
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:09,679

00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,539

242
00:13:17,449 --> 00:13:19,220
His story starts when he

243
00:13:19,220 --> 00:13:20,539
enlisted in the Navy after

244
00:13:20,539 --> 00:13:23,990

problems such

254
00:13:46,789 --> 00:13:49,879
as muscle ache and
chronic fatigue.

255
00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:53,959
He lost 70 pounds and
eventually had to quit

256
00:13:53,959 --> 00:13:55,550
his career and became

257
00:13:55,550 --> 00:13:58,460

00:14:07,790 --> 00:14:10,040
That is when he
was introduced to

263
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,299
the American Golf War

264
00:14:11,299 --> 00:14:13,669

266
00:14:16,670 --> 00:14:18,725
questions about the
health problems

267
00:14:18,725 --> 00:14:21,094
plaguing many veterans.

268
00:14:21,094 --> 00:14:25,475
In 999, Kevin enrolled
at Moorhead State.

269
00:14:25,475 --> 00:14:27,140
He gained attention

270
00:14:27,140 --> 00:14:28,879
this September
by traveling in

271
00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:31,340

272
00:14:31,340 --> 00:14:32,929

00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,269
hour to draw
public attention

275
00:14:38,269 --> 00:14:40,444
to the plight of
golf war veterans,

276
00:14:40,444 --> 00:14:43,385
our suffering
from illnesses.

277
00:14:43,385 --> 00:14:45,244
After today,

278
00:14:45,244 --> 00:14:47,959

279
00:14:47,959 --> 00:14:50,359
his teaching degree
so he can teach

280
00:14:50,359 --> 00:14:52,129
Native American studies on

281
00:14:52,129 --> 00:14:54,694
a White Earth Reservation.

282
00:14:54,694 --> 00:14:57,574
So join me in
congratulating kevin

283
00:14:57,574 --> 00:15:02,040
his graduation and the
pursuit of his vision.

284
00:15:11,860 --> 00:15:14,719
In my work, I
draw an article

285
00:15:14,719 --> 00:15:15,199
published in

286
00:15:15,199 --> 00:15:18,064
the Harvard Business
Review in 1996.

287
00:15:18,064 --> 00:15:20,734
The authors looked at
what makes people in

288
00:15:20,734 --> 00:15:24,394
organizations successful
over the long-term.

289
00:15:24,394 --> 00:15:27,110
Success they
found is based

290
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:29,945
on having a well
concede vision,

291
00:15:29,945 --> 00:15:32,089
which has two
components to it,

292
00:15:32,089 --> 00:15:36,095
a core ideology and
an envisioned future.

293
00:15:36,095 --> 00:15:39,649
The core ideology defines
what we stand for.

294
00:15:39,649 --> 00:15:42,109
Our core values, why we

295
00:15:42,109 --> 00:15:44,915
exist are very purpose.

296
00:15:44,915 --> 00:15:47,044
It is the unchanging,

297
00:15:47,044 --> 00:15:50,120
enduring character
of a person.

298
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,159
The second component, the

299
00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:54,439
envisioned, the
envision future,

300
00:15:54,439 --> 00:15:56,210
is what we aspire to

301
00:15:56,210 --> 00:15:59,899
become to achieve,
to create.

302
00:15:59,899 --> 00:16:01,384
They describe it as the

303
00:16:01,384 --> 00:16:04,820
big, hairy,
audacious goal.

304
00:16:04,820 --> 00:16:07,475
So graduates, I ask you,

305
00:16:07,475 --> 00:16:09,185
what is your vision?

306
00:16:09,185 --> 00:16:13,789
What is your big,
hairy, audacious goal?

307
00:16:13,789 --> 00:16:16,774
Peter marshall, a
US senate chaplain,

308
00:16:16,774 --> 00:16:20,585
opened a session in
1947 with this prayer.

309
00:16:20,585 --> 00:16:23,810
Give to us clear
vision that we may

310
00:16:23,810 --> 00:16:27,349
know where to stand
and what we stand for.

311
00:16:27,349 --> 00:16:29,090
Because unless we know

312
00:16:29,090 --> 00:16:30,814
we stand for something,

313
00:16:30,814 --> 00:16:34,079
we shall fall
for anything.

314
00:16:34,180 --> 00:16:36,260
I want to say thank you to

315
00:16:36,260 --> 00:16:37,850
the faculty and staff,

316
00:16:37,850 --> 00:16:40,100
the administration
and many people

317
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:42,350
past and present
who continued to

318
00:16:42,350 --> 00:16:44,644
provide America's
finest education

319
00:16:44,644 --> 00:16:47,510
to those who choose
to pursue it.

320
00:16:47,510 --> 00:16:50,675
And remember to support
family and friends,

321
00:16:50,675 --> 00:16:52,729
faculty and
institutions that

322
00:16:52,729 --> 00:16:55,049
have helped you
along the way.

323
00:16:55,060 --> 00:16:57,905
And not to forget this,

324
00:16:57,905 --> 00:17:01,010
as your financial
situation improves,

325
00:17:01,010 --> 00:17:05,240
you can support this
university monetary two.

326
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,039
Yes, you can. So as
you go forward in

327
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:12,169
the face of inevitable
challenges and

328
00:17:12,169 --> 00:17:14,629
great opportunities
that lie ahead of you.

329
00:17:14,629 --> 00:17:16,670
I leave you with
three final words

330
00:17:16,670 --> 00:17:18,035
of advice for life.

331
00:17:18,035 --> 00:17:20,675
Graduates. Just do it.

332
00:17:20,675 --> 00:17:24,419
Thank you. Congratulations
and Godspeed.

333
00:17:36,970 --> 00:17:40,429
Thank you, Trustee
baggage for

334
00:17:40,429 --> 00:17:43,895
your kind remarks about
our graduating class.

335
00:17:43,895 --> 00:17:46,609
Thank you for coming

336
00:17:46,609 --> 00:17:48,199
to attend this
commencement.

337
00:17:48,199 --> 00:17:49,220
It's always a pleasure

338
00:17:49,220 --> 00:17:50,059
to have the chairman of

339
00:17:50,059 --> 00:17:52,910
the board and another
member of the trustees.

340
00:17:52,910 --> 00:17:54,799
I told the class of

341
00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:58,189
2004 winter that
they were truly

342
00:17:58,189 --> 00:17:59,780
distinguished because
it's the first time

343
00:17:59,780 --> 00:18:00,950
we've ever had two of

344
00:18:00,950 --> 00:18:02,720
our trustee members app

345
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,739
one of our commencement.

346
00:18:03,739 --> 00:18:06,725
So I had wondered why
they were so special,

347
00:18:06,725 --> 00:18:09,620
but it is because
they are special.

348
00:18:09,620 --> 00:18:12,030
So thank you for coming.

349
00:18:14,380 --> 00:18:17,570
And now I introduce

350
00:18:17,570 --> 00:18:21,860
our commencement
soloist as Jenny Olsen,

351
00:18:21,860 --> 00:18:25,879
vocal music instructor
at the University.

352
00:18:25,879 --> 00:18:29,300
She will be singing
the wind beneath

353
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:32,990
my wings by Larry handily
and Jeff sell bar,

354
00:18:32,990 --> 00:18:36,650
accompanied by Dr.
Rodney Roethlisberger,

355
00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:39,209
assistant professor
of music.

356
00:21:20,860 --> 00:21:23,250
Hi.

357
00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:47,520
Hi.

00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,485
Thank you, Jenny Olsen.

359
00:22:54,485 --> 00:22:57,815
And thank you, Dr.
Roethlisberger.

360
00:22:57,815 --> 00:22:59,599
Or you're buying
music today at

361
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:08,930
the Oregon Minnesota
State University

362
00:23:08,930 --> 00:23:11,570
more head is acclaimed for

363
00:23:11,570 --> 00:23:15,214
its excellent teacher
education programs.

364
00:23:15,214 --> 00:23:18,890
In fact, teacher
preparation was

365
00:23:18,890 --> 00:23:20,510
the primary mission when

366
00:23:20,510 --> 00:23:23,780
our university opened
its doors in 888,

367
00:23:23,780 --> 00:23:27,455
as more had normal school.

368
00:23:27,455 --> 00:23:32,090
Back then, tuition
was free to

369
00:23:32,090 --> 00:23:34,160
those students who

00:23:37,325 --> 00:23:41,390

degree track.

378
00:23:58,330 --> 00:24:01,129

that a MSU more
had alum has been

00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,890
named North Dakota

393
00:24:41,950 --> 00:24:47,420

00:24:47,420 --> 00:24:49,774

422
00:26:20,749 --> 00:26:23,669
University
Moorhead alumni.

423
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,054
How has this eventful
day started for you?

424
00:26:28,054 --> 00:26:31,520
Getting here, I hope
was uneventful.

425
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,199
That wasn't true
of me when I

426
00:26:33,199 --> 00:26:35,360
graduated with my
master's degree,

427
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:37,730
I didn't go through
commencement exercises

428
00:26:37,730 --> 00:26:39,559
with my undergrad degree.

429
00:26:39,559 --> 00:26:42,440
On February 25th, My
father had passed

430
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,939
away and may just

431
00:26:43,939 --> 00:26:46,310
came too quickly
for my family.

432
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:48,019
Three years
later, my sister

433
00:26:48,019 --> 00:26:49,370
graduated and she'd had

434
00:26:49,370 --> 00:26:50,720
some serious
health problems,

435
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,835
so she didn't go
through them either.

436
00:26:52,835 --> 00:26:55,774
And so when I graduated
with my master's,

437
00:26:55,774 --> 00:26:58,430
I was a learning
disability diagnostician,

438
00:26:58,430 --> 00:27:00,409
ad hoc or in school.

439
00:27:00,409 --> 00:27:02,764
And my sister called
me and she said,

440
00:27:02,764 --> 00:27:03,859
What are you
doing, Ginger,

441
00:27:03,859 --> 00:27:04,610
are you going to go

442
00:27:04,610 --> 00:27:06,200
through the
commencement exercises

443
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,119
with your master's
degree? And I said, well.

444
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,800
I didn't think so because

445
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,554
I have to work that day.

446
00:27:11,554 --> 00:27:13,009
She said, Well, I
really think you

447
00:27:13,009 --> 00:27:14,630
should do that for mother.

448
00:27:14,630 --> 00:27:16,699
Okay. I thought
you know what,

449
00:27:16,699 --> 00:27:18,349
that is a good idea

450
00:27:18,349 --> 00:27:20,209
and I am so glad
you're here because

451
00:27:20,209 --> 00:27:21,020
you don't know what that

452
00:27:21,020 --> 00:27:22,159
means to your family and

453
00:27:22,159 --> 00:27:24,845
your parents and your
friends and relatives.

454
00:27:24,845 --> 00:27:26,390
But anyway, I
thought, well,

455
00:27:26,390 --> 00:27:27,815
I'm going to do
the SF, Right?

456
00:27:27,815 --> 00:27:28,909
Of course I
didn't think of

457
00:27:28,909 --> 00:27:31,009
taking a day
off from work.

458
00:27:31,009 --> 00:27:33,214
My mother came
and she said,

459
00:27:33,214 --> 00:27:34,550
Why don't you let
me take Paulo,

460
00:27:34,550 --> 00:27:35,929
who was at that
time my daughter

461
00:27:35,929 --> 00:27:38,165
who was and she
was two years old.

462
00:27:38,165 --> 00:27:40,144
And so I proceeded
to clean my house,

463
00:27:40,144 --> 00:27:42,019
try to work, just

464
00:27:42,019 --> 00:27:43,699
going to take off at
about one o'clock.

465
00:27:43,699 --> 00:27:47,224
Commencement didn't
start until two o'clock.

466
00:27:47,224 --> 00:27:52,070
And I just watched my
morning fall apart.

467
00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:54,169
I couldn't get
my salads done.

468
00:27:54,169 --> 00:27:55,310
I was dropping everything.

469
00:27:55,310 --> 00:27:56,150
I don't know if
I was a little

470
00:27:56,150 --> 00:27:57,035
bit nervous or what.

471
00:27:57,035 --> 00:27:58,610
The final thing
that I could

472
00:27:58,610 --> 00:28:00,440
not do was get the cover

473
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,615
off the Miracle Whip jar

474
00:28:02,615 --> 00:28:04,504
to finish my last salad.

475
00:28:04,504 --> 00:28:07,070
So in my pajamas are
enrolled and coolers.

476
00:28:07,070 --> 00:28:09,245
Am I here? I went running
across the street

477
00:28:09,245 --> 00:28:10,580
because there was
a construction

478
00:28:10,580 --> 00:28:11,779
crew building a duplex.

479
00:28:11,779 --> 00:28:12,919
And he said, Will
you please open

480
00:28:12,919 --> 00:28:14,480
my miracle whip jar?

481
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,370
And they're looking
at me like we've got

482
00:28:16,370 --> 00:28:18,680
a real Looney Tunes here
on the neighborhood.

483
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,030
I go running back by

484
00:28:20,030 --> 00:28:21,500
this time it's
five to eight.

485
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:23,285
I'm usually work
at eight o'clock.

486
00:28:23,285 --> 00:28:25,219
I jump into the tub,
the phone rings,

487
00:28:25,219 --> 00:28:26,720
I grab a towel,

488
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,129
grab the phone, and is

489
00:28:28,129 --> 00:28:30,064
the principal of my
school and he says,

490
00:28:30,064 --> 00:28:31,460
Ginger, where are you?

491
00:28:31,460 --> 00:28:33,380
We have a staffing.
You're late.

492
00:28:33,380 --> 00:28:36,379
Staff being how can I
forgotten a staffing?

493
00:28:36,379 --> 00:28:39,215
I jump into my clothes
chair, into my car.

494
00:28:39,215 --> 00:28:40,474
I'm driving down
the street,

495
00:28:40,474 --> 00:28:42,170
were ripping
the rollers out

496
00:28:42,170 --> 00:28:44,105
of my hair,
combing my hair.

497
00:28:44,105 --> 00:28:48,049
I run into, get my
things out of my,

498
00:28:48,049 --> 00:28:52,130
my classroom, which is
off of the library.

499
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:53,299
And when I jumped
in the door,

500
00:28:53,299 --> 00:28:55,309
they went so eyes.

501
00:28:55,309 --> 00:28:56,359
And here they were having

502
00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:58,279
a surprise
breakfast for me.

503
00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:01,310
I sat down, I
looked at my door,

504
00:29:01,310 --> 00:29:02,840
and here there
was a picture of

505
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,229
a woman in her
gown and camp.

506
00:29:06,229 --> 00:29:08,209
Literally fly running the

507
00:29:08,209 --> 00:29:09,830
gone flying
above her knees.

508
00:29:09,830 --> 00:29:11,389
Her had flying off,

509
00:29:11,389 --> 00:29:13,400
just running as
fast as can be.

510
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,770
And surely that was me.

511
00:29:15,770 --> 00:29:17,510
They all got up
and said, Gee,

512
00:29:17,510 --> 00:29:19,460
we sure hope you
have fun breakfast.

513
00:29:19,460 --> 00:29:20,840
And they left me just

514
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,535
about the time my
students came in.

515
00:29:22,535 --> 00:29:23,990
And why were they excited?

516
00:29:23,990 --> 00:29:26,329
I said, Go get
your things.

517
00:29:26,329 --> 00:29:27,829
We're going to
start our work

518
00:29:27,829 --> 00:29:30,209
and have breakfast.

519
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,815
But we are here today

520
00:29:33,815 --> 00:29:36,425
to celebrate your success.

521
00:29:36,425 --> 00:29:38,374
And because of that,

522
00:29:38,374 --> 00:29:40,535
I bought you what card?

523
00:29:40,535 --> 00:29:43,130
Your card says,
the pathway to

524
00:29:43,130 --> 00:29:46,039
success lies and
believing in your dreams.

525
00:29:46,039 --> 00:29:48,169
Seen them not so far off

526
00:29:48,169 --> 00:29:50,569
wish as not so
far off wishes.

527
00:29:50,569 --> 00:29:52,894
But as today's
possibilities.

528
00:29:52,894 --> 00:29:55,549
It's being willing to
take risks in order to

529
00:29:55,549 --> 00:29:57,080
grow and being able to

530
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,270
accept mistakes in
order to learn.

531
00:29:59,270 --> 00:30:01,729
It's trusting your hard
to know when to seek

532
00:30:01,729 --> 00:30:04,954
direction and when to
follow your instinct,

533
00:30:04,954 --> 00:30:07,009
when to pursue, went to

534
00:30:07,009 --> 00:30:10,190
persist and when to
just be patient.

535
00:30:10,190 --> 00:30:12,350
You believed
in your dreams

536
00:30:12,350 --> 00:30:14,659
enough to make
them come true.

537
00:30:14,659 --> 00:30:17,735
Congratulations
to all of you.

538
00:30:17,735 --> 00:30:21,049
As you know, I had
been very fortunate

539
00:30:21,049 --> 00:30:22,220
recently to just be

540
00:30:22,220 --> 00:30:23,990
named the North Dakota
Teacher of the Year.

541
00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:25,880
And it is my mission to

542
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,040
make sure that a
quality education for

543
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,080
all the nation's
children is

544
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,339
the number one priority

545
00:30:31,339 --> 00:30:33,199
for the American people.

546
00:30:33,199 --> 00:30:35,960
You have successfully
journey through

547
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,189
the network needs of

548
00:30:37,189 --> 00:30:40,310
our school system
and our messengers,

549
00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:41,719
central place and a

550
00:30:41,719 --> 00:30:44,255
time some of us
will never see.

551
00:30:44,255 --> 00:30:45,799
But you are my

552
00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:49,534
grandchildren's and your
children's destiny.

553
00:30:49,534 --> 00:30:51,620
Please recognize
that schools do

554
00:30:51,620 --> 00:30:53,915
not exist in a vacuum,

555
00:30:53,915 --> 00:30:57,244
but are connected to
the society they serve.

556
00:30:57,244 --> 00:30:59,044
We need to consider

557
00:30:59,044 --> 00:31:01,040
what kind of
education would

558
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,810
best serve the
United States,

559
00:31:02,810 --> 00:31:05,705
increasingly
diverse students.

560
00:31:05,705 --> 00:31:08,179
We need to consider
the nature of

561
00:31:08,179 --> 00:31:10,640
the society in which
schools exist.

562
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,259
It is predicted that early

563
00:31:12,259 --> 00:31:13,699
in our 21st century,

564
00:31:13,699 --> 00:31:15,530
Today's minorities
will become

565
00:31:15,530 --> 00:31:17,989
the majority in 50 cities,

566
00:31:17,989 --> 00:31:19,940
and the workforce
will be largely

567
00:31:19,940 --> 00:31:22,279
composed of these groups.

568
00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:24,364
Since the 1980s,

569
00:31:24,364 --> 00:31:26,375
the Fargo Moorhead
school districts have

570
00:31:26,375 --> 00:31:29,255
changed dramatically.
Last year.

571
00:31:29,255 --> 00:31:31,999
40% of our student
population

572
00:31:31,999 --> 00:31:35,509
at Madison spoke another
language at home,

573
00:31:35,509 --> 00:31:38,089
for a total of 14
different languages

574
00:31:38,089 --> 00:31:40,069
spoken in my school.

575
00:31:40,069 --> 00:31:42,470
These factors
influence me to attend

576
00:31:42,470 --> 00:31:44,854
seeking educational
equity and diversity,

577
00:31:44,854 --> 00:31:46,355
which is called seed

578
00:31:46,355 --> 00:31:48,949
training in Saint
Paul, Minnesota.

579
00:31:48,949 --> 00:31:50,870
And then returned
to Fargo to

580
00:31:50,870 --> 00:31:53,179
co-found a chapter
for our district,

581
00:31:53,179 --> 00:31:55,250
which is currently
in its fifth year.

582
00:31:55,250 --> 00:31:56,960
Seed was not new to

583
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,135
Minnesota nor to Moorhead.

584
00:31:59,135 --> 00:32:00,289
We've had seed a lot

585
00:32:00,289 --> 00:32:03,065
longer in this community.

586
00:32:03,065 --> 00:32:05,780
One of the first
readings we were

587
00:32:05,780 --> 00:32:08,525
exposed to was that
of Emily Style,

588
00:32:08,525 --> 00:32:10,550
who was an English
teacher and

589
00:32:10,550 --> 00:32:12,829
a diversity coordinator
in Madison,

590
00:32:12,829 --> 00:32:15,050
New Jersey and
co-director with

591
00:32:15,050 --> 00:32:17,974
Dr. Peggy McIntosh of
the national project

592
00:32:17,974 --> 00:32:21,229
for integrating Women's
Studies scholarship

593
00:32:21,229 --> 00:32:23,465
into the secondary
school curriculum.

594
00:32:23,465 --> 00:32:25,880
She explored the need
for curriculum to

595
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,300
function both as a
window and mere,

596
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:32,179
in order to reveal
most accurately

597
00:32:32,179 --> 00:32:34,850
both a multicultural world

598
00:32:34,850 --> 00:32:37,654
and the student
herself or himself.

599
00:32:37,654 --> 00:32:40,415
One is to understand

600
00:32:40,415 --> 00:32:44,449
our lives and occupy
a dwelling of

601
00:32:44,449 --> 00:32:46,699
self education needs to

602
00:32:46,699 --> 00:32:48,440
enable the individual to

603
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,059
look through window frames

604
00:32:50,059 --> 00:32:52,100
in order to see
the realities

605
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:53,989
of others and into

606
00:32:53,989 --> 00:32:55,579
mirrors to see her or

607
00:32:55,579 --> 00:32:58,894
his own destiny
and reality.

608
00:32:58,894 --> 00:33:01,130
Another person's words are

609
00:33:01,130 --> 00:33:03,319
the windows of
his or her world.

610
00:33:03,319 --> 00:33:05,239
Miss styles goes on to

611
00:33:05,239 --> 00:33:07,880
say that sometimes when we

612
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,010
hear another out glancing

613
00:33:10,010 --> 00:33:12,394
through the window
of their humanity,

614
00:33:12,394 --> 00:33:14,554
we can see our own image

615
00:33:14,554 --> 00:33:17,390
reflected in the glass
of their window.

616
00:33:17,390 --> 00:33:19,609
The window
becomes a mirror.

617
00:33:19,609 --> 00:33:22,400
And it is the
shared humanity of

618
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,865
our conversation that
most impresses us.

619
00:33:25,865 --> 00:33:27,440
Even as we attend to

620
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,720
our different frames
of reference.

621
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,875
Our jobs are to build
an inclusive community,

622
00:33:33,875 --> 00:33:36,710
embrace inclusive
education, and

623
00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:39,755
celebrate
diversity. In seed.

624
00:33:39,755 --> 00:33:42,574
We strive to give
each other voice,

625
00:33:42,574 --> 00:33:46,264
share views of our
lives are stories,

626
00:33:46,264 --> 00:33:49,039
struggles, hopes,
and dreams.

627
00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:51,020
It wasn't seed
that I was given

628
00:33:51,020 --> 00:33:56,974
this Hasidic tail
when the dawn comes.

629
00:33:56,974 --> 00:33:59,120
A very old teacher
once asked

630
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,590
his pupils how they could

631
00:34:00,590 --> 00:34:02,180
tell when the
night had ended,

632
00:34:02,180 --> 00:34:03,679
in the day had begun.

633
00:34:03,679 --> 00:34:05,479
Could it be asked one of

634
00:34:05,479 --> 00:34:07,429
the students when
you could see

635
00:34:07,429 --> 00:34:09,109
an animal far
in the distance

636
00:34:09,109 --> 00:34:11,434
and tell whether it's
a sheep or a dog.

637
00:34:11,434 --> 00:34:14,299
No. Answer. The teacher,

638
00:34:14,299 --> 00:34:16,759
another student
asked isn't

639
00:34:16,759 --> 00:34:17,960
when you can look
at the fruit

640
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:18,979
of a distant tree and

641
00:34:18,979 --> 00:34:20,959
tell whether it
is a peach or

642
00:34:20,959 --> 00:34:23,555
a fig that hangs
from its branches.

643
00:34:23,555 --> 00:34:26,930
Know, the teacher
answered once again.

644
00:34:26,930 --> 00:34:30,470
Then when is it, the
students demanded?

645
00:34:30,470 --> 00:34:32,284
It is when you can look

646
00:34:32,284 --> 00:34:33,680
on the face of any man or

647
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,179
woman and see that it

648
00:34:35,179 --> 00:34:36,965
is your sister or brother.

649
00:34:36,965 --> 00:34:39,289
Because if you
cannot see this,

650
00:34:39,289 --> 00:34:41,819
it is still night.

651
00:34:43,090 --> 00:34:45,815
I now raise the question,

652
00:34:45,815 --> 00:34:47,090
what good is academic

653
00:34:47,090 --> 00:34:48,590
learning if we don't learn

654
00:34:48,590 --> 00:34:51,679
to become contributing
members of society,

655
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:54,320
I feel the most effective
way of teaching

656
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,240
heterogeneous
groups is through

657
00:34:56,240 --> 00:34:57,500
the use of cooperative

658
00:34:57,500 --> 00:34:59,179
or collaborative learning.

659
00:34:59,179 --> 00:35:01,009
My students work together

660
00:35:01,009 --> 00:35:02,359
in structured
ways that require

661
00:35:02,359 --> 00:35:05,270
the participation of
more than one individual

662
00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:07,295
to perform the tasks well.

663
00:35:07,295 --> 00:35:09,169
I have found that
some students,

664
00:35:09,169 --> 00:35:11,689
because of temperament
and family background,

665
00:35:11,689 --> 00:35:13,460
do not cooperate well.

666
00:35:13,460 --> 00:35:15,949
These individuals
need the training

667
00:35:15,949 --> 00:35:17,569
necessary to work
with the group.

668
00:35:17,569 --> 00:35:19,820
If the project
requires it,

669
00:35:19,820 --> 00:35:21,589
they should not be coerced

670
00:35:21,589 --> 00:35:22,999
beyond being trained

671
00:35:22,999 --> 00:35:24,529
if their preferred style

672
00:35:24,529 --> 00:35:26,405
is for individual
learning.

673
00:35:26,405 --> 00:35:28,579
I am also aware that
my students must

674
00:35:28,579 --> 00:35:30,889
learn to
concentrate, listen,

675
00:35:30,889 --> 00:35:32,180
and take notes
because there are

676
00:35:32,180 --> 00:35:33,440
times when information is

677
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:34,790
most efficiently

678
00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:37,625
delivered to a
listening audience.

679
00:35:37,625 --> 00:35:40,610
An important factor
to realize is that

680
00:35:40,610 --> 00:35:42,049
instruction needs to be

681
00:35:42,049 --> 00:35:44,134
differentiated based MBA,

682
00:35:44,134 --> 00:35:45,710
student needs, and

683
00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:48,605
curricular goals
simultaneously.

684
00:35:48,605 --> 00:35:50,825
Academic and
social behavior

685
00:35:50,825 --> 00:35:53,465
are profoundly
intertwined.

686
00:35:53,465 --> 00:35:55,099
The beliefs we have about

687
00:35:55,099 --> 00:35:57,620
our individual
potential comes in

688
00:35:57,620 --> 00:35:59,059
part from the attitudes of

689
00:35:59,059 --> 00:36:01,969
our families and the
adults in our lives.

690
00:36:01,969 --> 00:36:04,774
They also come from
the larger society,

691
00:36:04,774 --> 00:36:06,530
with schools being
a prominent place

692
00:36:06,530 --> 00:36:07,759
where children and

693
00:36:07,759 --> 00:36:09,139
young people see
how they are

694
00:36:09,139 --> 00:36:11,509
valued by society
in general.

695
00:36:11,509 --> 00:36:13,340
Through my classroom
management,

696
00:36:13,340 --> 00:36:14,540
I strive for
the creation of

697
00:36:14,540 --> 00:36:17,330
self-control and a strong
sense of community.

698
00:36:17,330 --> 00:36:19,400
Self-control is the
power to assert

699
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,039
oneself in a positive
way and involves

700
00:36:22,039 --> 00:36:25,399
ongoing interactions
through conversations

701
00:36:25,399 --> 00:36:27,289
and shared experiences in

702
00:36:27,289 --> 00:36:29,809
the context of a
school environment and

703
00:36:29,809 --> 00:36:33,019
also with interactions
with the community.

704
00:36:33,019 --> 00:36:35,629
Students practice
academic language

705
00:36:35,629 --> 00:36:37,804
there into critique
themselves and others,

706
00:36:37,804 --> 00:36:40,415
and utilized
strategies to involve

707
00:36:40,415 --> 00:36:42,080
interpersonal
conflict or to

708
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,525
resolve inter-personal
conflict.

709
00:36:44,525 --> 00:36:46,940
These lessons
extend beyond

710
00:36:46,940 --> 00:36:48,109
the domain of self and

711
00:36:48,109 --> 00:36:50,180
find connections
to others.

712
00:36:50,180 --> 00:36:52,040
We need to teach
children to give

713
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,320
here as well as
to receive care.

714
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,060
Community outreach has

715
00:36:56,060 --> 00:36:58,219
become an important goal.

716
00:36:58,219 --> 00:36:59,600
Not only for us at

717
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:00,680
the elementary level and

718
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,880
the high school level for,

719
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,080
but, but also for

720
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,970
institutions of
higher learning.

721
00:37:04,970 --> 00:37:08,119
I have seen some
of your faces at

722
00:37:08,119 --> 00:37:10,610
community functions
that have helped to

723
00:37:10,610 --> 00:37:13,640
make our community
a better place.

724
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,550
As a teacher, I
strive to instill in

725
00:37:16,550 --> 00:37:18,320
my students that
they are members

726
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,390
of many groups
or communities.

727
00:37:20,390 --> 00:37:22,415
Give them a sense
of belonging

728
00:37:22,415 --> 00:37:23,840
and create a desire to be

729
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,179
a contributing and
nurturing member

730
00:37:26,179 --> 00:37:29,254
with within those
communities.

731
00:37:29,254 --> 00:37:32,089
The philosophy of my
classroom rests on

732
00:37:32,089 --> 00:37:33,439
the foundation
that together

733
00:37:33,439 --> 00:37:34,774
we are learning team,

734
00:37:34,774 --> 00:37:37,190
requiring all of
us to be teachers

735
00:37:37,190 --> 00:37:38,299
and learners at various

736
00:37:38,299 --> 00:37:40,084
times throughout each day.

737
00:37:40,084 --> 00:37:42,289
Everyone in the
entire school

738
00:37:42,289 --> 00:37:43,730
as well as my class,

739
00:37:43,730 --> 00:37:45,725
as well as in
our community.

740
00:37:45,725 --> 00:37:47,059
Members of our
community who we

741
00:37:47,059 --> 00:37:48,529
invite AN must foster

742
00:37:48,529 --> 00:37:52,220
a climate of inclusiveness
and respect.

743
00:37:52,220 --> 00:37:55,219
Creating community
means giving

744
00:37:55,219 --> 00:37:56,570
children opportunities

745
00:37:56,570 --> 00:37:58,265
and the capacity to care.

746
00:37:58,265 --> 00:38:00,470
I often communicate
this to my third,

747
00:38:00,470 --> 00:38:01,759
fourth graders by telling

748
00:38:01,759 --> 00:38:03,514
them you have a
gift to share.

749
00:38:03,514 --> 00:38:04,729
And I communicate that

750
00:38:04,729 --> 00:38:06,140
with you today as well.

751
00:38:06,140 --> 00:38:08,750
You have a gift
to share it.

752
00:38:08,750 --> 00:38:10,070
Maybe the gift
of knowledge

753
00:38:10,070 --> 00:38:11,539
shared with the class,

754
00:38:11,539 --> 00:38:13,400
a working partner, or

755
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,319
within a collaborative
work group.

756
00:38:15,319 --> 00:38:17,825
It might be by developing
a capacity for

757
00:38:17,825 --> 00:38:19,940
empathy and showing
concern for

758
00:38:19,940 --> 00:38:22,594
the feelings and
viewpoints of others.

759
00:38:22,594 --> 00:38:25,130
It takes believing
in demonstrating

760
00:38:25,130 --> 00:38:27,424
by your lifestyle
that you and

761
00:38:27,424 --> 00:38:28,879
everyone in your
community has

762
00:38:28,879 --> 00:38:30,710
something vital
to contribute

763
00:38:30,710 --> 00:38:32,479
because belonging means be

764
00:38:32,479 --> 00:38:35,705
needed as well as
being needful.

765
00:38:35,705 --> 00:38:37,939
I rewarded daily is I

766
00:38:37,939 --> 00:38:39,860
observed the interactions
of my students with

767
00:38:39,860 --> 00:38:41,720
one another as
they are actively

768
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:42,769
involved in the search

769
00:38:42,769 --> 00:38:44,404
to understand their world.

770
00:38:44,404 --> 00:38:46,475
My students know
the excitement

771
00:38:46,475 --> 00:38:48,290
of having other
students and

772
00:38:48,290 --> 00:38:50,510
adults enter our classroom

773
00:38:50,510 --> 00:38:52,955
and become a part of
our learning team.

774
00:38:52,955 --> 00:38:55,280
And some of you have
done that as well.

775
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,844
I've searched
the community

776
00:38:56,844 --> 00:38:58,249
for opportunities and

777
00:38:58,249 --> 00:38:59,974
resources that will allow

778
00:38:59,974 --> 00:39:02,150
learning to come alive
for our children.

779
00:39:02,150 --> 00:39:05,029
As a result, I
have observed as

780
00:39:05,029 --> 00:39:09,110
outsiders have
marbled, appreciated,

781
00:39:09,110 --> 00:39:10,249
and connected with

782
00:39:10,249 --> 00:39:12,769
our rich cultural
diversity to become

783
00:39:12,769 --> 00:39:14,689
insiders and a part

784
00:39:14,689 --> 00:39:16,699
of the Madison
School community.

785
00:39:16,699 --> 00:39:19,430
They have made a difference
for our students,

786
00:39:19,430 --> 00:39:23,360
parents, staff, and
also for themselves.

787
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,909
I however, have benefited

788
00:39:25,909 --> 00:39:26,960
most from

789
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,450
these collaborations
and interactions.

790
00:39:29,450 --> 00:39:32,389
I have gain knowledge in

791
00:39:32,389 --> 00:39:34,730
the content
areas and I have

792
00:39:34,730 --> 00:39:37,475
acquired better
teaching techniques.

793
00:39:37,475 --> 00:39:39,979
I have also found more
ideas for involving

794
00:39:39,979 --> 00:39:43,279
my students in the
exciting, new interactive,

795
00:39:43,279 --> 00:39:46,339
or real-world
situations had been as

796
00:39:46,339 --> 00:39:48,409
much fun and meaningful to

797
00:39:48,409 --> 00:39:51,154
me and say have been
for my students.

798
00:39:51,154 --> 00:39:54,319
If I'm considered an
outstanding teacher,

799
00:39:54,319 --> 00:39:55,849
it is because I love to

800
00:39:55,849 --> 00:39:57,979
learn and I want that
love of learning to

801
00:39:57,979 --> 00:40:00,019
be felt by all
those I come into

802
00:40:00,019 --> 00:40:01,640
contact with as we

803
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,665
share the joy of
learning together.

804
00:40:03,665 --> 00:40:05,120
And that's what
we hope today

805
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,889
that we've
instilled in you

806
00:40:06,889 --> 00:40:10,610
the life-long journey
of learning and

807
00:40:10,610 --> 00:40:12,229
realizing that it is

808
00:40:12,229 --> 00:40:14,974
forever important
to be striving,

809
00:40:14,974 --> 00:40:17,420
learn a little bit more.

810
00:40:17,420 --> 00:40:19,489
Whether we be teacher,

811
00:40:19,489 --> 00:40:23,014
parent, college student,
or community member,

812
00:40:23,014 --> 00:40:24,424
each of us must strive

813
00:40:24,424 --> 00:40:25,910
to make a better
future for

814
00:40:25,910 --> 00:40:29,075
our children and for the
generations to come.

that it may come true.

818
00:40:37,490 --> 00:40:38,840
We also hope that you go

819
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,100
out into your communities

820
00:40:40,100 --> 00:40:43,039
and make dreams for
others come true as well.

821
00:40:43,039 --> 00:40:46,399
And so we say, good luck.

822
00:40:46,399 --> 00:40:51,479

We will soon close this
ceremony at its end.

1288
01:19:04,940 --> 01:19:08,930
I would like you to
join our graduates at

1289
01:19:08,930 --> 01:19:13,999
a reception at the back
of music gymnasium.

1290
01:19:13,999 --> 01:19:16,895
We have plenty of room,

1291
01:19:16,895 --> 01:19:19,865

chairs if we need more.

1295
01:19:27,170 --> 01:19:28,429
Have your picture taken

1296
01:19:28,429 --> 01:19:29,360

1297
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,939
So the university, like
the one behind me,

1298
01:19:31,939 --> 01:19:35,314
we have more out in
the reception area.

1299
01:19:35,314 --> 01:19:37,609
It's a day to remember.

1300
01:19:37,609 --> 01:19:39,679
Take some pictures and

1301
01:19:39,679 --> 01:19:42,650

and friends.

1302
01:19:42,650 --> 01:19:44,959
Before we do that,

1303
01:19:44,959 --> 01:19:48,500
I need to remind you
to drive safely.

1304
01:19:48,500 --> 01:19:50,449

to, to us.

1306
01:19:53,659 --> 01:19:55,579

We want to see
you here again.

1309
01:19:59,405 --> 01:20:02,060

your family comes to get

1311
01:20:03,139 --> 01:20:05,629
