Eighty-two
awarded GED
diplomas at 4Cs
ceremony
By Christie Lowrance
news@basrnstablepatnot.com
An educational goal and
dream became reality Tues-
day night for the 82 students
who processed down the aisle
of the Tilden Arts Center at
Cape Cod Community College
to receive their General Edu-
cational Development (GED)
degree.
Punctuated with whoops,
whistles, and lengthy applause
from family, friends and fac-
ulty members, the two-hour
ceremony, which brought on
tears long before the diplo-
mas were handed out, made
it clear these GED graduates
had earned more than a piece
of paper.
"It'svery emotional because
it represents such success,"
said GED chief examiner Joan
Keiran of North Falmouth.
"They have reopened the
doors of opportunity."
"We know the struggles you
went through; it's not easy to
have full-time jobs, care for
your families, and complete
your studies," said Dr. Kath-
leen Schatzberg, president
of Cape Cod Community Col-
lege in congratulating the
graduates. "You have proven
yourselves."
A highlight of the ceremony
was speaker Trish Allen , a
Cape Cod Community Col-
lege faculty member and GED
graduate. She also holds a
bachelor of arts degree from
Wellesley College and a mas-
ter 's degree from Harvard
University.
"Only 2 percent of those who
drop out of high school come
back ," she said. "You have
overcome great obstacles. "
The oldest student among
this week's Cape Cod GED
graduates was 62 and the
youngest 16.
"They're bright, capable stu-
dents," said Keiran. "Things
just didn't work out in their
lives in school. But given the
right tools, they become suc-
cessful college students. "
On to SUCCESS
An option available to those
who pass the GED is the SUC-
CESSGED-to-College transi-
tion program funded through
the community college by
Nellie Mae.
"Their success rate is high,"
said Keiran, who credits the
active support of the college ,
particularly Schatzberg.
"The hardest thing for the
GED students is to keep in
class, because they have busy
lives," says Keiran. "If their
skills are good, they may have
to stay in class for two to three
months, but if they have been
out of school for a while or are
non-native English speakers ,
it may take years."
Non-native speakers often
go through an ESOL (English
Speakers of Other Languages)
class first to get the skills.
Although the GED once had
a reputation for being easy,
the current degree requires
passing a 10-hour, two-day
test that includes sections in
language arts, math, life and
physical sciences, world and
U.S. history, as well as a 45-
minute written essay.
Jim Rogers of Sandwich, a
retired Norwell High School
math and computer teacher,
has taught GED in Hyannis
for two years.
"The highest level of math
we work on is high school al-
gebra and geometry," he said.
"A lot of students come with
fear and trembling, but if they
keep coming and work at it,
they usually pass.
"I'm impressed with the
hard work many of them put
in," said Rogers. "It's such a
diverse group -young people ,
adults who have been in the
workplace for a while, and a
lot of the immigrant popula-
tion. Seeing them take the
exam and pass is really re-
warding."
Graduation speaker Robert
Foster, 43, a GED and SUC-
CESS program graduate , had
the audience 's full attention
as he candidly described a
pattern of minimumwagejobs
that followed his decision to
drop out of high school.
"I couldn't or wouldn't face
what was happening, " said
Foster, "but one good thing
about getting older is you
get experience. " He is work-
ing toward a certificate in
construction management at
Cape Cod Community College,
and has a 4.0 GPA.
"Last year I was sitting
where you are,"speaker Caro-
lyn Sirrico told the graduates.
At 59, she obtained her GED
diploma last year, completed
the SUCCESS program , and
matriculated at Cape Cod
Community College, where she
has a 4.0 average in graphic
design.
"Don't stop here ," she said.
"You can accomplish any-
thing."
When Sirrico 's husband
passed away several years
ago, she decided it was time to
get on with her life. "I amazed
myself,"she said. "I'd been out
of school for 42 years. I think
the GED program is great for
people who have been out of
school. I learned a lot from
some of the young ones; we
all are at different stages ,
and we have different ways
of learning."

ed withLiquid Natural Gas-LNG-import
terminals) right along our shorelines and
beaches including areas that up until now
have been protected from development by
State law under the Massachusetts Ocean
Sanctuaries Act. This proposed legisla-
tion dismantles the existing Mass Ocean
Sanctuary protections which have been
in place for decades and replaces them
with a to-be-defined management plan,
which the politicians promise us will be
put in place in the future. This "manage-
ment plan" will be approved by only one
Massachusetts political appointee, and we
will have no local control. Several of
us have spoken to the sponsor about
this bill in great detail, and we conclude
withoutanydoubt that thislegislation pro-
motes development rather than protects
our ocean resources.
If this bill is adopted , wind turbin e gen-
erators and other structures willundoubt -
edly get built all along our shorelines and
beaches because the existinggovernment
subsidies for this type of development are
so lucrative an irresistible to developers.
The resulting development will affect
boating, fishing and wildlife in manyways.
For example, a study by the British Coast
Guard concludes that wind turbines cause
extreme interference to marine radar
within a 1.5 nautical mile radius, and re-
port that all attempts to fix this problem
have failed.
I urge each of you to contact both your
state senator and representative and
encourage them to defeat this bill. You
can locate your legislators and contact
information at www.proteetourshorelines.
org. In addition to sending an e-mail tor if
you cannot accessthe Internet).please call
both of your legislators. The State House
general number is 617-722-2000. Ask to be

"There is something really
cool," he said, "about going to
school and personally knowing
every single member of your
grade -and most of the staff as
well.... You just don't get that
tight-knit community in most
other high schools."
He closed with a celebratory
vote of confidence: "You're
ready, so go on, have fun. Do
what you want. It's your game
now. We're adults - weD, more
or less. So best of luck. Go,
chillax, have a great summer.
Heck, have a great life!"
Headmaster Tom Evans, pre-
siding over a CCA commence-
ment for the last time before
leaving the school to join an
international consulting group
that advises independent non-
profit schools , also offered
confidence.
"If you can get our diploma,"
he said, "there should be no
realistically set goal that you
can't achieve in your life."
He spoke of recently de-
ceased Hyannis human rights
advocate Eugenia Fortes, who
for several years "inspired our
third graders withstories of her
incredible courage and vision,"
and the friend she often enter-
tained on the Cape, Thurgood
Marshall. Evans counseled the
class that the U.S. Supreme
Court justice 's words on how
he wanted to be remembered
- "That I did the best I could
with what I had" - considered
not just late in life but "at the
end of every day," better em-
body goals realistically set than
the save-the-world ambitions so
common in graduation rites.
"Do the best you can with
what you have," Evans said,
"and in those moments of future
uncert ainty - and there will be
lots of them - remember that
you are always supported from
afar by the love and affection
of your parents , your teach-
ers, your classmates and your
school."
He closed with a Robert A.
Ward poem , wishing the gradu-
ates,in part, "success sufficient
to your needs (and) failure to
temper that success... joy in
all your days (and) sadness so
that you may better temper
joy... gladness to overbalance
grief."
It sounded much like John-
son's final words from beneath
her umbrella: "I wish you all
both sunshine and rain , be-
cause it takes both to make a
rainbow."
