Graduation Song 2014 Brave You can be amazing You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug You can be the outcast Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love Or you can start speaking up Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do When they settle ‘neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you

I just want to see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave Everybody’s been there, Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy Fallen for the fear And done some disappearing, Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave What what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave Ever since your history of silence Won’t do you any good, Did you think it would? Let your words be anything but empty Why don’t you tell them the truth? Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave I just want to see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave I just want to see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you See you be brave (Repeat this verse twice)

The Principal’s Message Graduands of Northeastern College 2014: Today is a very special day for us all. It signifies for some of you the end of your secondary school education at Northeastern College; for others, it will take you into a further two years either at this ‘pleasant seat of sweet learning’ or at another secondary school. Your graduation today is just one of the many milestones in the journey of life and was achieved through hard work, dedication and commitment to your goals. Yes, it is a time to celebrate, but also a time to start planning for the future. Your life’s journey continues tomorrow beyond the corridors of Northeastern. Embrace this new beginning with the confidence that you have the required knowledge and skills, as well as a rich, infinite imagination to navigate the next stage of the journey. "Tomorrow is a dream that leads me onward. Tomorrow is a path I've yet to choose. It's a chance I've yet to take, a friend I've yet to make. It's all the talent I've yet to use. Tomorrow is a dream that leads me onward, always just a step ahead of me. It's the joy I've yet to know, the love I've yet to show. For it's the person I've yet to be." – Karen Raun Enjoy your journey and may God be with you always. __________________________ Mr. Lyndon Bharath Principal Secondary
