Ildaphonse Cornolius is a thirteen year old boy who recently graduated from St. Jean de Brebeuf Catholic Elementary School. Ildaphonse is an honor roll student and is active in his community as well as within his school as the student council Vice President. Ildaphonse was named as the valedictorian of the graduating class of 2008 and impressed and inspired all in attendance, including myself, with his heartfelt speech.
“If a thirteen year old boy can understand the power of bringing peace to the world and standing up for your beliefs, why is it so hard for certain politicians to see the world the same way?”
– Mahmud Hussein
