 Hi there, my name's Melanie Mark. I'm the Minister for Advanced Education, Skills and Training. My Nisqa name is Lahakwiskak, which means Eagle that passes on to the next generation. I'm the first First Nations woman to ever get elected in BC's legislature, and the first First Nations woman to serve as a cabinet minister. I'm also the first person in my family to graduate from high school and attend college and university. I have a degree in political science. I guess the reason why I'm sharing this with you is because I understand that you're gathering on the traditional territory of the Sumas and Mattskwe First Nations people from the Stolo Nation, and you're gathering to celebrate young women that are interested in trades and technology. I guess I just wanted to share with you how important your role is going to be in the future. We need people like you, people, young people like you, who are going to build up our future here in BC. People that are going to be software engineers. People that are going to get involved in the trade sector, building roads and hospitals and schools. So I guess if there is a message that I could share with you, it's going to be this. You're going to fall down, but you have to get back up again, because it's people like you that we're relying on for our exciting and dynamic future. I can tell you I fell down so many times in my life, but it's getting back up with the passion of what you believe in that's really important. I want you to reach out to those mentors in the room that are there to support you, because they want to see you shine and succeed. Take every advantage of getting a post-secondary education, because I think that's going to be a pathway to your future success. Thanks so much for hearing me out. I'm sorry that I can't be with you. Keep shining and reach for the stars and don't take no for an answer. How are you?
