I’m always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an uphill battle Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose Ain’t about how fast I get there Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side It’s the climb The struggles I’m facing The chances I’m taking Sometimes might knock me down, but No, I’m not breaking I may not know it Just gotta keep going And I, I gotta be strong Just keep pushing on, ‘cause There’s always gonna be another mountain I’m always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an uphill battle Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose Ain’t about how fast I get there Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side It’s the climb Yeah There’s always gonna be another mountain I’m always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an uphill battle Sometimes you’re gonna have to lose Ain’t about how fast I get there Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side It’s the climb But these are the moments, that I’m gonna remember most, yeah

Yeah, yeah Keep on moving, keep climbing Keep the faith, baby It’s all about, it’s all about the climb Keep your faith, keep your faith Whoa

The song dates back to the HANNAH MONTANA movie of 2009, a stage of your lives when you might have still idolised Miley Cyrus. Believe it or not, but it was Bianca’s GR R Valedictory song! The lyrics would not have had the same impact as they do today: LIFE GOES ON: there will always be another mountain, an uphill battle, but it is not about how fast you can get there – it is about THE CLIMB! Matrics, you will soon be writing Paper 1. What about a little revision? Do you know what a NEOLOGISM is: It is a new word or phrase? While plants can be described as WATERWISE , people are STREETWISE , I choose to describe you as being LIFEWISE . You have shown remarkable strength of character, resilience, fortitude. You have triumphed over adversity. This is your powerful legacy. Ladies, because you are LIFEWISE, we know that you will continue to blossom and flourish wherever you are planted in the coming years. We bid you Farewell and Godspeed. EN AVANT! Mrs Lynette Neethling
