Riverview School Grads Praised for Perseverance

EAST SANDWICH — Anna Sampson, co-president of the 2018 graduating class of Riverview School, invoked Vincent Van Gogh on Sunday to describe her classmates’ ability to persevere when faced with obstacles and adversity.
“If you hear a voice within you say, you cannot paint; then by all means, paint and that voice will be silenced,” Sampson said, quoting the famous Dutch painter. “Together, we have silenced that voice over and over again, every time we get out of our comfort zones, every time we surprise ourselves by never giving up.”
