SENIOR ISSUE
A Letter from Dr. Belin Dear Class of 2020, In a time of confusion, worry, fear, and many other emotions that have taken over our daily lives, we are faced with the question of “What next?” Who would have thought that this year would take a major turn and rip away the very moments and memories we were all hoping to make, celebrations, and monumental moments we were expecting to have? Well, here we are? A pandemic has rocked the entire world to its core. This is history! You are authors of history and you have the ability to inform and change the future. You are a generation of fighters and change-makers. You are have been a beacon of light when the world has trembled. The focus in the past few months has been ON the Class of 2020 and the high level of resiliency you all have possessed during this time. I understand that we will never be able to replace the events such as prom, a senior prank, the senior run, the walk through the middle schools, senior awards, or traditional graduation. I want to give you all those things and more. So do your teachers who have prepared you for what lies ahead. So do your parents who have watched you grow into the people you have become today. We have to accept the obstacles we have been faced with and prepare for what the future holds. You will remember the experiences of the last few months such as shortages of toilet paper, bottled water, hand sanitizer, and Clorox wipes. We have now coined the term “social distancing” and “worldwide pandemic” to become a part of our everyday references to this time. Who would have thought that these words would be the end of the journey you have made from kindergarten through senior year of high school.
Regardless of what major shifts we have made in our everyday lives, we have to remain optimistic. The future depends of it. It depends on YOU! The one thing this pandemic has taught me, and I hope it has taught you as well, is to not wait for what lies ahead. You have to take every opportunity that comes your way. Mark Zuckerberg once said, “In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” You have to be aggressive in life and put yourself in the best position to succeed. Challenge yourself. Be a calculated risk-taker and do what you never thought you could. You are built for this. You are built to change the world through the opportunities that allow you. Knowing that the future is never promised, will you wait? I speak for all the educators that you have encountered. We have watched you grow into the phenomenal men and women that you are today. As the Red Raider Family, we can take pride in the accomplishments you have achieved. We have seen you struggle, we have seen you succeed, we have been there with a supportive shoulder or with the loudest hand clap. I hope that you know your teachers are always here to support you and cheer you on. Never doubt the support of the HHS staff and the greater staff of District 158. Your time is NOW! I am proud of you! I LOVE YOU and CARE ABOUT YOU! I am excited about your future. Know that home will always be at Huntley High School. You are and will ALWAYS be a Huntley Red Raider!! With much love and respect, Dr. Marcus J. Belin Principal HUNTLEYVOICE.COM 51
