I
want
to
start
by
thanking
all
of
those
who
elected
me
into
this
position,
as
it
has
been
quite
the
show
for
everybody,
including
myself,
for
some
of
us.
The
past
four
years
have
been
long
and
not
the
best
of
times
I
reckon,
but
for
me
and
the
majority
of
y'all,
I'm
sure
the
past
four
years
haven't
been
so
bad
and
honestly
went
by
quicker
than
we
would
have
ever
imagined.

Matthew,
chapter
11,
verse,
28
says
come
to
me
all
who
labor
and
are
heavy
laden,
and
I
will
give
you
rest
our
hard
work
to
get
to
this
point
is
over.
He
now
gives
us
the
chance
to
rest,
but
certainly
not
give
up
like
stated
in
second
chronicles
chapter
15,
verse,
7,
but
as
for
you,
be
strong
and
do
not
give
up
for
your
work
will
be
rewarded,
regardless
of
the
circumstances
don't
ever
give
in
willingly.

I
am
thankful
for
the
opportunity
to
extend
my
congratulations
to
the
members
of
the
class
of
2022
and
be
able
to
recognize
the
culmination
of
years
of
hard
work,
the
actualization
of
goals
attended
attained
and
the
acknowledgement
of
successes
achieved
the
end
of
high
school
can
be
an
emotional
time
for
students
and
families,
and
that
may
be
even
more
this
year
graduates.
I
hope
you
will
take
the
time
to
show
gratitude
to
those
who
have
been
instrumental
in
helping
you
achieve
this
milestone.
D
I
don't
want
the
class
of
2022
to
be
known
to
the
world
as
one
of
the
pandemic
classes.
I
want
the
stanton
river
class
of
2022
to
be
known
as
an
extraordinary
class
graduates.
Despite
the
challenges
you
have
encountered,
you
have
completed
this
part
of
your
life
journey
with
great
achievement
and
wonderful
memories.
D
D
D
Many
students
in
the
stant
river
class
of
2022
have
distinguished
themselves
among
their
classmates.
I
am
proud
of
their
triumphs
and
accomplishments
in
curricular
and
extracurricular
activities.
Several
class
of
2022
students
earned
the
national
merit
semi-finalist
status
with
strong
academics
and
athletic
achievements.
The
members
of
class
of
2022
have
already
accepted
over
1.7
million
dollars
in
scholarships
and
grants
with
several.
D
The
class
of
2022
has
lived
the
eagle
way
through
their
service
and
community
involvement.
Members
of
the
graduating
class
have
collected
and
donated
hundreds
of
pounds
of
canned
goods
read
to
elementary
school
students.
Volunteered
at
soup
kitchens
and
election
polls.
Organized
blood
drives
made
and
sent
cards
to
soldiers
serving
overseas
and
served
the
community
alongside
many
organizations.

We
did
not
let
the
lack
of
social
interactions
and
stay-at-home
orders,
the
brutal
winds
of
social
injustices,
the
political
divide,
the
natural
disasters
and
the
lack
of
comfort
and
safety
in
schools
across
the
nation
define
us.
We
questioned
how
we
would
continue
when
being
here
at
this
point
seemed
impossible.
F
F
F
F
The
backbone
of
directing
ourselves
can
be
effectively
described
in
these
three
words:
merriam-webster
states.
That
perseverance
is
a
continued
effort
to
do
or
achieve
something
despite
difficulties,
failure
or
opposition
passion
is
defined
as
being
capable
of
affected
by
or
expressing
intense
feeling
and
persistent
is
described
as
continuing
to
exist,
despite
interference
or
treatment.
F
We
reached
record-breaking
lows
as
a
country
and
a
world
that
seemed
impossible
to
overcome,
but
honestly,
I'm
not
sure
how
I
would
change
how
things
worked
out
as
we
reflect
on
the
four
years
of
our
high
school
careers.
School
shutdowns
and
the
cancellation
of
extracurricular
activities
seem
like
the
end
of
the
world.
F
F
G
Hi
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
class
of
2022's
graduation
ceremony
for
those
who
don't
know
me,
I'm
skylar
bartel.
In
all
honesty,
when
mr
hubble
first
told
me
that
I
would
be
speaking
here
today,
I
was
definitely
honored,
but
had
no
clue
what
to
say.
I
talked
to
all
of
my
friends,
family
and
even
my
co-workers,
just
trying
to
figure
out
anything
that
would
be
fitting
to
our
class.
G
At
the
end
of
the
day,
I
can
completely
say
that
I
consider
you
guys
my
family
and
I
would
not
have
half
of
the
memories
I
have
today.
If
it
wasn't
for
you
all
one
thing
that
you
guys
and
high
school
in
general
have
taught
me
in
these
four
years.
Is
that
past
change?
You
may
think
that
the
best
friends
you've
had
since
elementary
school
are
the
best
friends
you'll
keep
forever
or
that
the
plans
you've
made
for
yourself
are
the
plans
that
you're
going
to
stick
with,
but
nine
times
out
of
ten.
G
That
isn't
the
case.
I've
made
friends
that
I
thought
I
would
never
make
done,
activities
that
I
wouldn't
have
considered
if
other
people
hadn't
encouraged
me
and
enjoyed
many
new
things
that
I
thought
would
never
interest
me.
Life
is
crazy
in
that
way,
we
change
we
grow
and
we
learn.
What
is
important
to
us
today
might
not
be
important
to
us
in
a
few
years
that
isn't
to
say
that
the
dreams
we
had
when
we
were
younger
aren't
always
the
same
dreams.
We
keep
as
we
grow
up,
but
instead
have
been
adjusted
by
our
experiences.
G
G
G
Wait,
never
mind,
that's
just
my
dream,
but
you
get
the
point.
Some
of
us
will
end
up
being
lawyers,
doctors
and
surgeons,
or
some
of
us
might
marry
those
rich
lawyers,
doctors
and
surgeons,
and
be
wonderful,
stay-at-home,
moms
and
dads.
Some
of
us
will
be
teachers,
managers
and
writers.
Some
of
us
may
be
professional
sports
players
or
even
the
president
of
the
united
states.
G
One
thing
we've
all
learned
about
the
future
by
now
in
life
is
that
things
change
like
whoever
thought,
kim
and
kanye
would
get
divorced
or
that
the
world
renowned,
mr
hubble,
would
finally
retire.
Both
of
these
things
totally
shocked
us.
My
point
is
change,
happens
in
mysterious
ways,
some
of
which
we
would
never
expect
and
some
of
which
we're
actually
ready
for
because
of
our
past
experiences,
although
it
might
not
seem
this
way
today,
the
things
that
we
are
experiencing
are
ultimately
shaping
us
for
the
real
world.
G
More
and
more
each
day,
the
new
world
we
are
about
to
enter
might
seem
a
lot
bigger
than
bedford,
county
and
today
might
seem
like
one
of
the
scariest
days
ever,
but
this
is
just
the
beginning
of
the
best
years
of
our
lives.
The
you
you
are
today
is
not
the
same
you'll
be
in
20
years,
and
that's
probably
a
good
thing,
so
don't
be
afraid
to
grow.
I
mean
that
figuratively.
G
Some
of
us
are
stuck
at
five
foot
three
forever,
don't
be
afraid
to
go
out
and
make
something
of
of
yourself
don't
be
afraid
to
live
life
to
the
fullest.
Don't
ever
forget
where
home
is
the
world
is
in
our
hands,
so
be
bold,
be
fun
and
be
smart,
be
bold
in
taking
chances
on
yourself
and
trying
new
things
be
fun
and
experiencing
the
best
things
in
life
and
taking
time
to
make
hilarious
memories
with
your
family
and
friends
be
smart
by
staying
true
to
yourself
and
holding
close
to
your
morals.
G
H
If
any
of
y'all
have
ever
babysat
a
little
sibling,
neighbor
or
just
worked
at
a
daycare,
you
know
that
once
a
child
begins
to
learn
how
to
speak,
they
quickly
develop
a
favorite
word.
No,
do
you
want
to
finish
the
broccoli
on
your
plate?
No,
do
you
want
to
finish
or
brush
your
teeth?
Also,
no,
no
matter
what
question
you
ask,
they
will
give
you
the
same
response
every
single
time
without
fail.
H
H
H
H
I
don't
know
what
got
into
me
that
day,
but
I
responded
in
a
way
that
would
change
my
life
after
13
years
of
saying,
no,
because
I
was
scared
of
change
and
enjoyed
my
life
exactly
as
it
was,
I
decided
I
would
finally
take
a
leap
of
faith
and
say
yes
saying
that
simple
word
is
an
adrenaline
rush
and
it
unleashes
a
wave
of
immediate
reactions
that
can
change
your
life.
As
you
know,
it
to
say
I
was
unprepared,
unqualified
or
even
unfit
for
ffa
is
an
understatement.
H
H
H
H
While
saying
no
and
turning
away
from
an
opportunity
is
always
a
safe
option,
it
is
just
that
safe,
no
matter
how
difficult
it
seemed.
We
were
purposely
placed
in
this
time
of
challenge
that
no
one
has
ever
had
to
face
before,
so
that
we
could
create
a
new
and
pure
hope
and
dedication
that
has
never
been
seen
before.
H
We
were
purposely
placed
here
so
that
we
could
say.
Yes,
there
are
going
to
be
times
that
will
leave
you
wondering.
Is
this
path
in
front
of
me?
What
I
was
meant
to
take.
You
must
have
the
courage
to
do
it.
It
was
placed
there
for
a
reason,
even
though
it's
very
easy
to
think
of
every
possible
thing
that
can
go
wrong
and
trust
me,
I'm
great
at
it.
You
must
persevere.
H
H
As
we
enter
adulthood,
we
are
going
to
be
presented
with
endless
opportunities,
some
will
be
defining
moments
and
some
will
turn
our
lives
off.
Life
upside
down
today
is
a
defining
moment
and
we
must
choose
how
we
react
to
it.
We
don't
want
to
go
into
this
new
phase
of
our
life,
with
the
same
narrow
mindset
as
a
two-year-old,
cutting
back
on
the
adventures
and
possibilities
because
of
our
attachment
to
the
word.
H
H
I
I
I
I
do
not
want
to
keep.
I
do
want
to
keep
this
short
and
simple,
I'm
honored
by
the
thought
that
I
am
graduating,
and
many
of
you
wanted
me
to
speak.
I
wrestled
with
the
following
ideas:
one
that
I
should
just
humbly
do
my
job
and
lead
you
through
the
ceremony
from
my
normal
position
as
marshall
or
two,
that
I
would
comply
with
your
request
and
be
here
on
the
stage
doing
this.
