 Hi there, I'm Rob Fleming, BC's Minister of Education. Thank you so much for inviting me to connect with you through Langley Secondary School's focus program. I've been asked to share something that gives me inspiration in these challenging times. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us in many ways. We're all living in tighter circles and missing our routines that we used to take for granted with our friends, classmates, and our teachers. For me, some days are much more challenging than others. Canadian-spoken-word poet and anti-bullying champion Shane Cuisin's instructions for a bad day really strikes a chord with me, and I'd like to read an excerpt for all of you if that's okay. There will be bad days. Be calm. Loosen your grip, opening each palm slowly now. Let go. Be confident. Know that now is only a moment and that if today is as bad as it gets, understand that by tomorrow, today will have ended. Be gracious. Accept each extended hand offered to pull you back from the somewhere you cannot escape. Be diligent. Scrape the gray sky clean. Realize every dark cloud as a smoke screen meant to blind us from the truth, and the truth is whether we see them or not, the sun and moon are still there, and always there is light. Shane had a few more instructions for a bad day, so if you can listen to the rest of his performance at the link provided, I think you'll enjoy it. I hope you continue to find many ways to connect and share. As BC continues to bend the COVID-19 curve, the one thing I know for certain is that we're stronger when we work together. So thanks so much for listening. Stay safe, be kind, and remember these times we're in are just for now, not forever.
