F

Official way to recognize, when a person steps into the next stage of life and.

F

Graduates, we are stepping into a new stage.

F

I, like hara, heyward and beyond honored, to represent the class of 2020 on today.

F

As your valedictorian and on behalf of my classmates, I would first like to say.

F

Thank you to the students, teachers, parents, community members, staff, family.

F

And friends who made these six years everything that they were, I.

F

Procrastinated writing this speech for quite some time. What would I say well.

F

They even listen to me. I wanted so badly to simply show up on graduation day and.

F

Walk the stage to receive my diploma, then the corona virus pandemic changed.

F

Everything- and it was that change that made me- realize the power that my tongue.

F

Held over my life, even with my planner full of assignments,.

F

And scholarship deadlines rapidly approaching. Today's speech was the only.

F

Thing my mind for some reason I was filled.

F

With a sudden urge to get it done doing, what I thought would be only a few weeks.

F

Out of school a few weeks led to a month which led to me never returning to my.

F

Beloved middle high school this spring we've missed out on so much.

F

Our senior prom, our final senior trip senior ditch day senior breakfast. I find.

F

A little wart ceremony, senior, walk and so much more.

F

However, we also enjoy so much before our senior year ended abruptly. So I stand.

F

Here before you looking back on six years of a legacy, we have all made.

F

Together, unlike most graduating classes, we've been together since the seventh grade.

F

That's six years of evolution, 72 months of football and basketball, rivalries, 312.

F

Weeks of tests, both literal and figurative, 2190 days of meaningless.

F

Drama fifty two thousand five hundred and sixty hours of pranks and inside.

F

Jokes: three million one hundred fifty three thousand six hundred minutes of.

F

Making memories and 189 million two hundred sixteen thousand seconds that.

F

We've waited for this exact moment. With every year we have become a little more.

F

Independent, we even managed to take a senior trip to washington dc and all.

F

Make it back in one piece you can tell how much we have grown up and how much.

F

We have matured, we experienced both great and tough times, but we got through.

F

Them all we succeeded now, just like some tap holes and a pond.

F

Full of frogs we're about to embark on a completely new journey, one in a world.

F

Filled with endless possibilities before then I'd like to leave you with a few.

F

Quotes that have undoubtedly got me through my high school years.

F

It's not what they call you it's. What you answer to this is a thing that has.

F

Been said many times by my late uncle jor-el, there are mean people in this.

F

World that will have mean things to say about you, but it is important to.

F

Remember that you are not a word, this court has taught me to just ignore.

F

Those people and has helped me to come to the conclusion that no person can.

F

Define my character that is solely dependent upon me of all the things.

F

Coach harrington has repeatedly told me there are two that I'll never forget.

F

Never let them see you sweat and can't nobody beat you when you work hard over.

F

The course of these last six years I have learned to remain level-headed and.

F

Calm, even when I'm under an immense amount of pressure.

F

I fought battles silently and cry tears quietly for both my diploma and degree.

F

But I never let my emotions take control over me. I put in the work and I.

F

Accomplished just about every goal I set for myself. I learned that sometimes you.

F

May have to push yourself to levels, you don't feel like going and that's. Okay.

F

I'm not saying it's going to be easy either.

F

But if you really want something, do not stop working until you have accomplished.

F

It finally anything's possible you've got a dream like you've, never seen.

F

Obstacles- this is by far my favorite quote and the words of my favorite.

F

Artist, j cole, although I faced many setbacks.

F

Throughout my days in high school, I never lost hope. I never let past.

F

Experiences or past disappointments hinder me from doing what it was. I.

F

Really wanted to do and you shouldn't either.

F

No matter your family history, past grievances, knowledge level, skillset.

F

Finances or fears dream on you all possess the potential to change the.

F

World in ways that are unimaginable- I said all of this to say that I wish you.

F

My fellow classmates, the very best on your future endeavors.

F

College, the military or the workforce, despite the circuit.

F

Stances, I am very proud of this huge accomplishment for us all march. 13Th may.

F

Have been my last time sitting at a desk at baptists hill, but it most certainly.

F

Wasn't my last day being a bobcat stand up class of 2020? It's our time to shine.
