21 DEGREES ACES Class of 2021

About 21 DEGREES

Your education is a dress rehearsal for a life that is yours to lead.” - Nora Ephron

The Class of 2021 are indeed examples of what a quality education can produce. Scholars, Brainiatics, Athletes, Musicians, Culinary Masters, Christian Leaders are just a few titles held by this diverse exemplary class.

From our entrance into Aquinas College, we proved that we would take any task given to us and exceed expectations, and even in our senior year that is something that is yet to cease. We have consistently put our best foot forward in all of our endeavours, encouraging and being our sisters and brothers keepers every step of the way. Our perseverance and determination to be the best graduating class Aquinas College has ever produced, is an admirable trait that we all carried and not tooting our horns, I truly believed WE did just that.

Despite the many obstacles we faced, including the most recent being the CoronaVirus, the tears we cried, the headaches we gave our teachers, it has all paid off and now we graduate with honors. As we embrace the new journey ahead of us, we will not forget the memories we made with one another and the values we learned along the way. I know all of my classmates agree with me, as I can vouch that we are Dauntless Excelling Graduates Remarkably Exceeding Everyday Standards! Watch out world, the Class of 2021 is coming to make our mark on you!

Aiden WILSON

November 9, 2004

Underestimation has always been his driving force. Everywhere he went, he was deemed “the baby” thus expectations were automatically low. This will probably continue throughout the rest of his time on Earth. However, because of this underestimation, he has accomplished much, putting a daze on the face of his rivals. Certainly, this favour will last a lifetime. How dooes he know? The Lord is his Shepherd whom he trust with all his heart; He will direct his path.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6.
