Ouvadamus (Latin): Where Do We Go From Here?
19 July, A Historic Day for the 419ers which simply represents the 4 division 1 students and 19 division 2 students.
Fourteen years ago today, the 2012 Graduating Class of Firestone Senior High School, proudly celebrated as the “419ers,” stepped beyond the walls of our great institution and etched our names into its history.
Today, as we reflect on the path we have traveled, our hearts are filled with gratitude, pride, and humility. From the halls of Firestone to different corners of Liberia and the world, our classmates have continued to rise and make meaningful contributions. Many have pursued higher education, earning Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, while some are Medical Doctors and others are advancing toward Ph.Ds and taking on impactful roles in both the public and private sectors.
Our journey has not been without struggles. Some of our classmates faced challenges that prevented them from continuing their education beyond high school, and with deep sadness, we remember our dear friends who have answered the call of eternity. Though they are no longer with us physically, their memories remain forever woven into the fabric of the 419ers family.
Fellow 419ers, this milestone is a reminder that life is a gift and everyday is an opportunity to grow, serve, and inspire. Regardless of where we are today, whether in Liberia or abroad, whether in success or still striving—let us continue to give thanks and glory to God for preserving us.
May we continue to support one another, celebrate each other’s victories, and remain committed to building better lives for ourselves, our families, and our nation.
For God. For Family. For Country.
