I
am
honored
to
be
here
this
evening
to
celebrate
the
achievements
of
the
Berkeley
County
School
District's
class
of
2023
in
this
summer,
commencement
ceremony
we
stand
here
today
on
the
precipice
of
the
future.
It's
not
a
distant
reality
anymore
for
this
graduating
class
of
2020
2023.
It
begins
right
here
it
begins.
H
Today
our
24
graduates
began
High
School
just
a
few
years
ago
on
their
respective
campuses
at
Berkeley,
Cane,
Bay,
Goose,
Creek,
Hanahan
or
Stratford
High
schools
with
great
hope
and
promise.
None
of
you
knew
the
twists
and
turns
life
would
throw
your
way
as
young
people.
Many
of
you
started
your
freshman
year
in
August
of
2019,
not
knowing
that
seven
months
later,
the
entire
world
would
enter
a
worldwide
pandemic.
That
would
forever
change
our
lives.
Today,
I
say
to
you
that
you,
the
class
of
2023,
are
models
of
perseverance,
resilience
and
determination.
H
If
my
mind
could
could
conceive
it
and
my
heart
can
believe
it
I
know,
I
can
achieve
it
class
of
2023.
You
can
do
anything
in
this
life
that
you
set
your
mind
to
with
your
high
school
diploma
Berkeley
County
School
District
places
in
your
hands
the
the
one
piece
of
paper
that
enables
you
the
canvas
canvas
for
life
to
create
a
future.
You
dare
to
imagine
so
that
you
can
go
and
make
a
positive
difference
in
the
world.
Your
high
school
diploma
is
a
directional
compass
that
can
point
you
in
multiple
directions.
H
For
those
who
wish
to
begin
a
career
of
service
with
it,
you
can
enlist
in
the
military
how
many
members
of
the
class
of
2023
are
going
into
the
military
directly
after
this
experience
tonight.
If
you
would
raise
your
hand
all
right,
so
we
have
no
service
members
for
others
who
wish
to
continue
their
study.
Your
high
school
diploma
can
open
the
door
to
higher
education
at
any
college
or
university
of
your
choosing.
H
You
begin
Shadow
Boxing
and
then
you
begin
directionally
asking
the
person
to
go
this
way
that
way
up
down
whatever
the
case
is
many
of
you
did
that
when
you
were
in
school
right
and
so
tonight,
all
of
us
are
going
in
the
same
direction
and
I
want
you
to
point
at
the
stage,
as
as
you
begin
to
conceptualize
your
direction.
H
All
of
us
are
going
in
the
same
direction
and
I
want
you
to
point
forward
class
of
2023,
and
that
is
the
direction
that
this
class
is
poised
to
go
regardless
of
your
chosen
Direction
after
you
leave
this
place
today.
Allow
me
to
encourage
you
out
of
all
of
these
to
take
with
you,
discipline,
commitment
and
courage.
Discipline
will
enable
you
to
do
high
quality
work.
It
will
keep
you
pursuing
your
goals
through
tough
times.
H
Commitment
allows
you
to
dedicate
yourself
to
something
you
have
the
ability
to
make
a
positive
difference
in
the
lives
of
everyone
with
whom
you
come
in
contact
in
your
life.
That
requires
commitment.
Lastly,
take
with
you
courage,
courage
gives
you
the
ability
to
put
aside
your
fear
and
failure
and
take
the
first
steps.
Courage,
helps
you
to
overcome
the
fear
of
rejection
and
engage
your
stakeholders.
Courage
allows
you
to
attempt
things
that
you
have
not
tried
before,
despite
the
fear
of
looking
foolish
