Back to school — “A Fresh Start”

September 10, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Congressman Adam Smith
9th District

“The beginning of each new school year represents an opportunity to move forward toward achieving your goals. Focusing on your education is one of the most important ways you can help create a fresh start and a better world for yourself, your family, and our community.”

 

Hsiao-Lin Wang
Owner of China Harbor Restaurant

“Always be thankful that you have an opportunity to go to school. It’s important to work hard from the beginning so you don’t fall behind. If your family has a native language, always speak it, use it, and keep it. If you can learn your native language in school, take advantage of it.”

 

President Gary Oertli
South Seattle College

“At South Seattle College, we tell our students ‘Start here, go anywhere!’ As you begin or renew your educational pursuits, don’t forget to take advantage of the opportunities that are presented to you.  Pursue your dreams today and make them your reality of tomorrow!”

 

President Jean Hernandez
Edmonds Community College

“One of the greatest opportunities for a fresh start is through education. Dream big –  your fresh start begins today by pursuing and completing your educational goals at Edmonds Community College. “

 

James Doane
Costco Wholesale
Corporate Counsel

“Be kind. Be curious.  Study hard. Have fun.  When times are tough, repeat this Japanese proverb, Nanakorobi yaoki’–Fall seven times, get up eight!”

 

Chancellor Mark A. Pagano
University of Washington Tacoma

“Welcome back to school. Please remember – you are not alone on your journey. Your family, your friends, your teachers, advisors: all around you are people who want to help you. Take advantage of all these connections, and then turn around and help others when they are in need.”

 

Dr. David L. Rule
President
Bellevue College

“As school begins, take a few moments to look ahead to the exciting new opportunities that await you. Make this year your best one yet as you start fresh and focused on success! The sky is the limit. Go for it and soar! “

 

Nate Miles
Vice President of Government Relations

“Don’t quit —No Matter What.A lot of times when you face challenges in life, you feel spiritually, mentally and emotionally overwhelming, just find what’s within you to find you get through. Don’t give up. Fight. You might be able to make it.”
