Thank
you
hunter
and
good
morning:
academic,
magnet,
high
school
graduates
and
guests.
I
am
jacob
perlmutter
and
it
is
my
honor
to
welcome
you
to
our
2022
commencement
program
this
morning
and
to
do
that
this
morning.
I
would
like
to
tell
a
story:
it's
about.
It's
a
paradox.
Actually,
it's
called
the
ship
of
theseus
and
I
heard
about
the
ship
of
theseus
when
I
was
in
undergraduate
school.
C
Those
of
you
who
are
roughly
my
age
will
recall
that
in
the
early
to
mid
1990s
judge
alex
sanders
was
the
president
of
the
college
of
charleston
when
I
was
a
freshman
at
the
college
of
charleston
having
just
graduated
from
academic
magnet
judge
sanders
for
some
reason,
that's
beyond
me
had
to
teach
a
class
that
year,
so
they
made
up
a
course
code
for
him
and
he
taught
a
pre-law
class.
I
suppose,
when
you're
the
president
of
the
university,
you
can
do
such
things.
C
The
end
result
was
that
I
was
a
late-breaking
requirement
from
the
honors
college
at
the
college
of
charleston,
that
we
took
an
introductory
law
class
with
judge
sanders
and
he
started
out
with
reviewing
torts
claims
and
contracts
and
other
legal
doctrine.
But
I
think
that
one
day
he
just
looked
up
and
saw
that
no
one
in
that
class
had
any
real
interest
in
law,
and
so
he
just
pushed
all
that
to
the
side.
C
Some
of
you
recall,
spoke
very
slowly
with
a
southern,
a
delightful
southern
drawl,
so
every
story
of
his
could
easily
take
a
whole
class
period.
One
of
the
things
he
told
us
about
was
the
ship
of
theseus.
It's
a
thought,
experiment
a
paradox
again,
ship
of
theseus.
It's
ancient.
I
think
it's
from
the
first
century
and
it's
greek-
and
here
it
is
there's
this
guy.
C
So
theseus's
trip
is
extended,
the
greek
wars
often
were
and
years
and
years
go
by
and
during
the
course
of
those
years
the
athenian
to
whom
he
left
the
ship
replaces
every
piece
of
the
of
the
ship,
so
the
sales
tear
he
replaces
them
the
ropes
break.
He
replaces
them.
The
bow
replaces
stern
floors,
gunnels
rails,
whole
boat,
mast
on
and
on
so
that,
ten
years
later,
when
theseus
returns,
there
isn't
a
single
part
of
the
original
ship.
C
That's
remaining
so
theseus
does
eventually
come
back
and
says
to
the
athenian.
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
care
of
my
ship.
While
I
was
away,
I
have
come
to
reclaim
my
ship,
so
the
athenian
thinks
for
a
second
and
says,
wait
a
minute
right.
You
think
what
the
athenian
might
be
thinking
like.
Maybe
this
is
my
ship
right.
C
It
turns
out
the
ship
of
theseus.
Isn't
so
much
a
legal
precept,
but
a
philosophical
one
and
great
thinkers
from
plutarch
to
cobbs
and
locke
have
offered
their
opinions
on
the
matter
as
well.
The
theseus's
paradox
is
a
thought
experiment
that
raises
the
question
of
whether
an
object
which
has
all
of
its
components
replaced
remains
fundamentally
the
same
object.
C
The
consensus
thinking
over
centuries
from
the
greeks
to
hobbes
and
loch.
Is
that
the
essence
of
a
thing
what
aristotle
would
have
called
the
purpose
of
a
thing
or
the?
What
it
is
of
a
thing
supersedes
the
just
the
physical
composition
of
that
thing,
so
that
the
thing
is
more
than
just
its
material
parts.
C
C
C
Very
few
parts
of
that
ship
remain,
the
desks
are
different.
The
textbooks
are
changed,
the
computers
we
actually
didn't
even
have
computers
our
senior
year.
We
got
one
computer
lab
which
we
went
to
go
to
to
play
oregon
trail
and
we
used
a
program
called
logo.
Writer.
The
people
are
different
right.
The
faculty
and
staff
all
different.
The
physical
campus
is
different,
so
the
floors
are
different.
The
walls
are
different.
The
every.
C
C
I
bring
this
up
to
say
that
the
philosophers
say
yes,
it
is.
They
say
that
remember
that
the
essence
of
a
thing
supersedes
the
sum
of
the
physical
components
of
that
thing.
The
purpose
of
the
academic
magnet
the
essence
of
the
academic
magnet
has
not
changed
and
will
not
change
so
graduates
when
you
come
back
here,
30
years
from
now
after
you
go
and
we
live
a
full
and
productive
30
years
and
you
come
back,
I
won't
be
here.
C
C
But
the
building
may
be
different
and
the
chairs
and
the
books
will
be
different.
The
computers
will
certainly
be
different.
I
can't
even
fathom
what
computers
will
be
like
30
years
from
now,
but
the
essence
of
the
academic
matter
high
school,
will
remain
the
spirit
of
this
place
that
only
very
few
people
know,
and
even
fewer,
including
myself
are
able
to
articulate,
will
be
here
for
you.
C
I
say
that
only
a
select
few
people
know
and
fully
understand
the
essence
of
our
school,
because
it's
very
difficult
to
define
and
it
might
be
impossible
to
fully
define
you
class
of
20.
22
know
what
the
essence
of
academic
magnet
high
school
is.
You
know
what
it
means
to
be
a
raptor
to
be
a
member
of
an
elite
cohort
of
seriously
smart
students,
students
who
believe
in
scholarship
and
students
who
believe
in
honor.
C
Graduates
today
is
about
you
and
your
remarkable
accomplishment.
It's
about
your
graduation
from
this
unique
and
prestigious
school,
and
just
as
the
school
will
forever
be
a
part
of
who
you
are.
You
will
also
be
a
part
of
what
this
school
is,
because
it
turns
out
that
you
are
the
essence
of
the
school
its
graduates
are.
The
students
are.
C
D
Hello,
academic,
magnet
community,
I'm
kate,
waldorf,
the
president
of
the
senior
class.
Today
I
have
the
pleasure
of
introducing
our
graduation
speaker,
mr
chris
singleton,
mr
singleton
was
born
and
raised
in
charleston
and
attended
goose,
creek
high
school
and
later
charleston
southern
university
before
being
drafted
to
play
baseball
by
the
chicago
cubs.
D
D
D
E
This
is
an
honor
to
be
here
over
the
last
six
years,
or
so
I
think
I've
done
probably
15
commencement
speeches
and
I
always
know
the
shorter
the
better.
So
I
won't
be
very
long,
but
you
know
the
first
thing
that
I'll
mention
my
mentor
as
I
started
speaking
about
six
years
ago.
Now,
I'm
on
the
road
about
150
days
a
year,
and
he
said
chris,
the
worst
thing
a
person
can
be
in
your
shoes
is
a
public
success
and
a
private
failure.
E
He
said,
that's
the
worst
thing
a
person
can
be,
and
so
for
me
I
was
in
chicago
yesterday
and
got
home
about
10
30
last
night
and
I've.
I
got
my
wife
who's
away
on
vacation
in
switzerland.
I
got
two
little
boys
at
home.
E
I
woke
up
this
morning
trying
not
to
mess
anything
up,
but
then
I
worked
my
way
here
and
I
said
I
want
to
pour
out
my
heart
because
I
live
literally
15
minutes
away,
15
minutes
away
and
for
me
to
be
able
to
share
in
chicago
or
to
microsoft
or
to
different
mlb
or
nba
teams
and
not
share
my
own
hometown.
E
That's
a
public
success
and
private
failure,
and
so,
like
kate
mentioned,
I
went
through
some
some
pretty
tough
times,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
I've
realized
at
a
young
age.
Is
it's
not
about
what
happens
to
you?
It's
about
how
you
respond
to
it.
E
You
know
I've
realized
that
in
life,
things
are
going
to
happen
and
I
call
it
my
10
percent
things
I
couldn't
control,
even
if
I
wanted
to,
and
what
shifted
my
mind
is
this
quote
by
a
guy
named
charles
swindle.
He
said
in
life
is
based
on
two
things.
Is
action
and
reaction,
just
two
things:
action
and
reaction:
the
action
is
ten
percent.
E
The
ninety
percent
is
how
you
respond.
That's
the
reaction,
and
so
I'm
asking
you
guys
whether
your
10
percent
has
always
been
sunshine
and
rainbows,
or
it's
been
really
really
good,
or
maybe
your
10
percent
has
been
pretty
rough.
Like
me,
it's
just
10
you've
got
90
to
work
with,
as
I
was
putting
my
thoughts
together
about
you
know
what
I
was
going
to
share,
how
I
was
going
to
say
it.
I
thought
the
biggest
piece
of
advice
that
I
would
give
you
all
is
about
resilience.
E
Speaking
to
some
students,
we
saw
it
in
texas
and
so
there's
so
many
unspeakable
unthinkable
things
that
are
happening
and
for
me
it
happened
to
my
mom,
my
biggest
fan,
I
always
say
my
mom
was
like
the
embarrassing
facebook
post
mom
right.
If
I
had
a
good
game,
she
was
gonna
be
on.
Facebook
did
y'all
see
my
baby
last
night.
E
E
I
try
to
be
a
father
figure
to
my
brother
and
my
sister,
and
I
would
say,
hey
make
sure
you
do
what
mom's
supposed
to
do
a's
and
b's
no
c's,
and
they
would
just
look
at
me
and
they
would
say,
shut
up,
and
so
I
figured
out
really
quickly.
Okay,
I
got
to
be.
I
got
to
do
something
different,
and
so
I
started
to
just
study
the
most
resilient
people
that
walk
this
earth
and
some
of
the
things
that
I
would
see
I
just
love
quotes.
I
I
realize
we
won't
live
forever.
E
We
won't,
but
if
our
words
are
powerful,
they'll
stay
behind
and
one
of
the
quotes
that
I
didn't
really
like
it
said
sometimes
in
life,
you
gotta
play
the
hand
that
you're
dealt
raise
your
hand
graduates
if
you've
heard
that
before
play
the
hand
that
you're
adult
right.
I
saw
that-
and
I
said
man
that
is
a
great
saying
or
a
great
quote.
If
you
got
a
good
hand,
man,
if
you
got
a
good
hand,
that
is
a
great
saying
play
the
hand
that
you're
dealt
because
you
got
a
royal
flush.
E
I
get
it,
no,
it
makes
sense.
But
for
me
I
didn't
have
a
very
great
hand,
and
so
I
didn't
I
got
aggravated
when
I
saw
that
then
I
would
see
stuff
like
you
know
what
doesn't
kill
you
in
life
makes
you
stronger
and
I
said
man.
You
know
what
I
lost
my
parents,
I'm
here.
I
I
don't
feel
very
strong,
but
I've
gone
through
a
ton
and
then
my
buddy
one
of
my
best
friends
sat
me
down
and
he
gave
me
this
story
about
resilience
and
it
stuck
with
me
forever.
E
Now
I'm
gonna
I'm
an
athlete
and
always
say
I'm
not
retired.
I
just
got
cut
okay,
so
some
people
try
to
look
me
up
and
look
up
my
stats.
I
wasn't
good
enough.
Okay,
that's
all
it
was,
but
I
absolutely
love
sports.
I
love
sports
and
so
me
and
my
best
friend
and
we're
sitting
down
and
we're
watching
tv
and
espn
and
golf
comes
on
and
at
the
time
I'd.
E
Never
played
golf
before,
but
I
knew
about
it
and
I
didn't
know
a
whole
lot
about
the
history,
but
my
buddy
stops
me
and
tells
me
this
story.
I've
never
forgotten
it.
He
said
chris,
I'm
gonna
tell
you
about
the
history
of
a
golf
ball.
He
said
the
history
of
a
golf
ball.
He
said
when
they
first
made
the
golf
ball.
It's
made
out
of
molasses.
It
was
about
this
size.
E
It
was
smooth
all
the
way
around.
They
called
it
a
feathery.
It
was
so
lightweight.
He
said
chris.
If
you
would
just
hit
the
ball
if
the
wind
was
blowing
at
all,
it
would
just
immediately
take
it
that
way,
and
I
looked
at
him-
and
I
said
man
I'm
not
the
best
at
golf,
but
doesn't
that
still
happen
like
I
don't?
I
don't
know
where
you're
going
with
this
and
he
said
hold
on
chris
you're
going
to
love
it
man
just
hold
on
you're
going
to
love
it.
E
E
He
said
now
when
we
hit
it,
it
went
a
little
bit
further
because
of
the
weight,
but
still
because
it
was
smooth
all
the
way
around
if
the
wind
was
blowing,
it
just
took
it
that
way.
He
said
it
wasn't
until
we
had
a
golf
ball
that
had
rubber
bands
around
it.
That
was
scratched.
It
was
punctured,
it
was
bruised.
E
He
said
we
experimented
with
this
when,
for
the
first
time
we
hit
it
and
it
was
able
to
cut
through
the
wind
and
my
buddy
at
time
of
my
life,
what
I
needed
it
the
most.
He
told
me
christian
liked
that
golf
ball.
He
said
you've
gone
through
things.
Nobody
should
have
to
go
through
you've
experienced
things,
nobody
should
experience,
especially
a
teenager,
but
he
said
chris.
E
I
think
those
things
make
you
stronger
and
as
a
young
man
at
25
years,
young
married
to
my
high
school
sweetheart,
with
two
little
guys
doing
what
I
absolutely
love
to
do
in
this
world.
He
was
right
now
when
something
happens
to
me.
I
say
it
happens
for
me.
It's
another
scratch
another
dent
in
my
golf
ball
now.
This
is
annoying
sometimes
to
my
wife.
E
When
something
happens-
and
I
say
baby,
that's
just
another
scratch
and
she
wants
to
give
me
a
scratch
when
I
say
it
right,
but
that's
the
mindset
that
I
have
that
has
got
that
has
gotten
me
through
so
much
in
my
young
age.
So
I
want
you
all
to
be
resilient
to
be
golf
balls.
When
something
happens,
it
doesn't
happen
to
you.
It
happens
for
you
and
you
realize
it's
going
to
help
you
cut
to
the
future.
E
Adversity
in
your
life
now
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
share
my
mission
with
you
all,
because
I
look
at
you
and
I
think
you
were
you
were
leaders,
your
leaders
today,
but
also
tomorrow
and
in
the
future.
You
guys
will
change
this
world,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
I'll
need
your
help
with
is
this
mission
of
unity
and
when
they
reached
out,
they
said
chris
I'd
love
for
you
to
share
about
being
perseverant
about
being
resilient,
but
also
about
your
mission
of
unity
and
this
mission.
E
E
E
So
we
should
never
hate
people
for
those
things
and
they
should
never
hate
you
for
them
just
as
well.
We
have
to
teach
it
and
I'll
give
one
story
about
how
important
teaching
is.
I
was
playing
professional
baseball
now
I
played
in
the
minor
leagues,
which
is
a
lot
different
than
major
leagues.
You
know
we
have
the
river
dogs
down
here.
Okay,
it's
a
lot
different
than
playing
for
the
raise.
The
biggest
difference
is
the
money.
Okay,
that's
the
biggest
difference
right.
E
So
when
you're
playing
in
the
minor
leagues,
I
was
grinding
away,
got
drafted
by
the
cubs
and
I
was
making
about
1200
bucks
a
month
before
tax
and
looking
back
on
it.
You
know
I
made
that
for
about
seven
months
out
of
the
year
and
when
I
was
in
high
school
working
at
chuck
e
cheese.
If
I
made
1200
bucks,
I
thought
I
was
loaded,
but
I
realized
as
an
adult.
E
That's
nothing,
and
so
I
was
you
know,
playing
baseball
and
my
agent
calls
me
he
knew
at
the
time
I
had
my
brother,
my
sister
at
home,
I'm
taking
care
of
him
just
got
married.
I
got
my
little
man
cj
on
the
way,
and
I
remember
for
for
me
this
is
the
the
moment
in
my
life,
where
I
realized
how
important
our
stories
are.
E
This
lady,
I
was
actually
playing
baseball
and
my
agent
calls
me
he
says
chris
I
got
a
place
for
you
to
stay,
it's
going
to
be
free.
I
know
you've
gone
through
so
much
man,
you're
struggling
financially
like,
let's,
let's
make
sure
you're
taken
care
of,
I
said
awesome.
Where
am
I
staying
at?
He
said:
cool
you're,
staying
at
st
paul's
retirement
community.
E
I
said
man,
no,
I'm
not
saying
no
saint
paul's
retirement.
He
said
yeah
average
age
about
74.75
man,
but
but
it's
free.
They
got
free
breakfast
free
lunch,
free
dinner
when
you
guys
get
to
college
you'll
realize
how
important
free
is,
and
so
when
he
said
it
was
free.
I
said
sign
me
up
guys.
I
got.
There
was
one
of
the
coolest
experiences
of
my
life
when
I
walked
in
they
had
a
big
poster
of
fat
head
of
me.
It
said:
welcome
chris
singleton,
we
love
you
grandson.
E
I
said
what
you
love
me
and
they
really
didn't
love
me
and
they
were
asking
me
a
million
questions
and
you
graduates
know
what
I
mean
when
I
say
a
million
questions,
and
maybe
your
your
mom,
your
dad
is
here
your
grandpa
grandma,
and
this
is
how
you
know:
somebody's
old
okay.
I
don't
want
to
offend
any
of
our
wise
people
back
there,
but
you
guys
are
going
to
get
this
today
right,
they'll,
ask
you
five
questions
in
a
row
without
you
getting
to
answer
one
of
them
right
today,
you'll
get
that.
E
Well,
what
are
you
majoring
in
you
know?
What's
your
girlfriend,
you
guys
staying
together
what
you
you'll
get
them
back
to
back
to
back
and
they
were
asking
me
these
and
I
stopped,
and
I
said,
let
me
ask
you
guys
some
stuff
you've
been
through
life.
You've
learned
a
lot.
Can
you
teach
me
and
there's
one
interview?
I
want
to
share
about
love.
E
This
lady's
name
was
esther.
She
was
85
years
young.
She
was
a
white
lady.
She
was
real
short
and
had
like
all
white
hair,
and
she
said
chris.
Don't
call
me
esther
you,
you
can
call
me
grandma
e,
so
I
did
and
me
and
grandma
e
were
talking
back
and
forth
and
she
stops
me
in
the
middle
of
interview
and
she
says
to
me
chris.
Let
me
show
you
my
great
grandbabies
y'all,
I'm
so
silly.
I
thought
cause
she
was
old.
E
She
pulled
like
like
a
little
polaroid
picture
and
started
flapping
it
or
something,
but
she
had
the
brand
new
iphone.
She
showed
me
and
it
was
a
picture
of
two
little
girls
and
she
said
to
me
chris.
These
are
my
great
grandbabies
and
they're
twins
and
I
looked
at
the
picture
and
I
said
ain't
no
way
they
twins
grandma
e,
because
one
was
white
and
one
was
black
and
I
mean
like
dark
skinned
black
like
me
right,
not
patrick,
mahomes,
black
right,
and
so
I
asked
her.
E
E
E
E
I
said.
Oh,
that's
cute!
I
get
it.
You
know
black
white
chocolate,
vanilla,
that's
cute,
I
said,
but
the
grandma
that's
a
little
weird.
Now
they're
not
licking
themselves.
Are
they?
She
said.
No
chris
they're
not
licking
themselves.
I
said
well,
what
is
it?
Why
do
they
call
themselves
chocolate
and
vanilla
ice
cream
class
of
20-22?
You
want
to
know
what
she
said.
She
said
chris.
I
taught
them
that
I
said
well,
grandma
e.
Why
would
you
teach
them
to
call
themselves
chocolate
and
vanilla
ice
cream?
E
E
E
You
see
my
ask
of
you
isn't
to
change
the
world,
but
I
do
want
you
to
love
people
and
teach
like
grandma's,
no
matter
what
somebody's
first
language
is
or
where
they're
from
or
what
they
look
like
we're
going
to
celebrate
them.
Butter,
pecan,
strawberry,
double
dark
chocolate,
we'll
celebrate
people.
E
F
At
this
time
I
have
the
pleasure
of
recognizing
some
outstanding
students
for
several
different
awards.
The
first
one
is
the
palmetto
fellows
scholarship,
a
merit-based
program
established
to
recognize
the
most
academically
talented
high
school
student
seniors
and
encourage
these
students
to
attend
college
in
the
state
to
be
deemed
eligible
to
receive
this
scholarship.
F
F
F
F
Finally,
we
have
the
south
carolina
academic
honors
award
for
a
student
to
receive
an
academic
achievement.
Honors
award.
This
student
must
one
complete
24
units
of
credit,
as
prescribed
two
receive
a
minimum
grade
of
b
for
each
semester
course
in
grades,
9
through
12,
through
the
7th
semester
and
third
achieve
either
a
score
of
710
on
the
sat
verbal
or
a
score
of
690
on
the
sat
math
or
an
sat
score
of
30
on
english
or
33
on
mathematics
or
each
student
shall
have
completed.
F
F
F
B
This
is
a
happy
speech
by
the
way,
so,
roughly
13
billion
years
ago,
our
universe
began
in
a
massive
rapid
explosion
over
billions
of
years
planets
galaxies
and
our
own
solar
system
formed
and
life
itself
formed.
The
first
homo
sapiens
appeared
a
mere
300
000
years
ago
and
around
10
000
years
ago,
the
first
human
civilization
developed
in
the
last
10
000
years.
B
We
also
learned
dark
truths
about
our
existence,
one
of
which
is
the
fact
that
there
is
a
strong
scientific
consensus
that
billions
of
years
from
now
our
universe
will
come
to
an
end.
Ultimately,
we
became
aware
that
not
only
will
only
not
only
will
our
own
lives
end,
but
every
influence
that
we
have
on
the
world
around
us
will
ultimately
have
no
effect
on
the
inevitable
conclusion
of
the
universe.
B
A
quick
reminder,
though,
that
this
is
a
happy
speech,
because
these
are
facts
about
our
universe,
which
are
left
up
to
our
interpretation
and
there's
not
much
that
we
can
know
precisely
for
certain,
but
you
know
one
thing
that
we
do
know
I
think
pretty
well
is
that
we
all
experience
happiness
and
sadness.
So
I
think
we
should
all
live
our
lives
geared
towards
our
own
happiness
and
well-being.
So
here
are
a
few
tips.
One
floss
two
spend
time
with
people
who
love
you.
Three
stand
with
good
posture:
stand
upwards
with
your
shoulders
back
five.
B
B
You
will
make
mistakes,
I
make
mistakes,
we
all
make
our
mistakes,
but
do
your
best
to
right
your
wrongs,
but
remember
that
you
can't
change
the
past
and
there
will
be
entire
weeks
or
months
or
years
of
your
life,
where
you
will
be
alone
and
nothing
will
make
sense
and
everything
will
feel
gloomy
and
we
will
never
erase
this
sadness
because
man
is
fundamentally
alone
and
we
will
never
erase
this
sadness
because
man
is
fundamentally
alone
and
we
are
all
going
to
die,
but
embrace
darkness
embrace
darkness.
Wait
in
the
words
of
carl
young.
B
One
does
not
become
enlightened
by
imagining
figures
in
light
by
imagining
figures
in
the
light,
but
by
making
the
darkness
conscious
but
like
I
said,
though
this
is
a
happy
speech,
so
number
10.
Remember
that
you,
you
are
a
miracle.
You
are
a
phenomenon
of
the
universe
in
which,
for
a
brief
period
of
times,
a
small
cluster
of
atoms
is
currently
awake
and
aware
that
it
is
conscious,
aware
that
it
is
made
up
of
a
cluster
of
atoms,
and
that
is
insane.
B
That's
amazing.
Nobody
can
take
away
that
fact
that
you
are
a
miracle
and
even
when
you're
gone,
you
will
still
have
the
in
been
an
insanely
amazing
phenomenon
in
the
history
of
our
universe.
Just
like
a
star
or
supernova.
You
are
a
beautiful
part
of
our
universe
and
treat
yourself
as
such
and
treat
everyone
as
such
treat
everyone
as
a
miracle
of
the
universe.
B
So
we
need
to
positively
influence
the
people
around
us
too.
So,
even
if
you
want
to
be
a
purely
self-serving
person,
you
have
to
admit
that
we
would
all
be
happier
in
a
loving
community
full
of
where
our
needs
are
met,
rather
than
a
word
world
of
hatred
and
starvation.
What
a
tragedy
it
would
be
to
waste
the
one
life
that
we
have
and
also
waste
everybody
else's
life
with
us.
B
Maybe
everything
will
ultimately
be
meaningless,
but
that
doesn't
change
the
fact
that
we
can
find
satisfaction
in
loving
one
one
another.
So
I
could
tell
you
the
standard
things
give
to
charity,
support
your
family
and
other
advice
that
we
all
know.
It's
been
repeated
thousands
of
times,
but
I
think
one
of
the
best
ways
we
can
increase
everybody's
well-being
is
our
own
pursuit
of
greatness.
Every
single
one
of
us
can
do
remarkable
things.
B
Imagine
if
the
great
people
of
humanity
submitted
to
our
struggles
and
said
I
give
up
a
world
with
no
innovators,
to
invent
air
conditioning
to
invent
to
create
medicine,
to
teach
us
to
wash
our
hands
to
invent
the
wheel
and
reinvent
it
to
create
massive
ideological
revolutions
and
to
support
the
rights
of
oppressed
groups
worldwide.
We
would
all
be
worse
off.
B
A
quote
that
resonates
with
me
is
from
a
book
called
the
fifth
science,
and
it
goes
as
follows.
Society
grows
great
when
old
men
plant
trees,
whose
shade
they
know
they'll
never
sit
in.
Society,
grows
great
when
old
men
plant
trees
that
they,
whose
shade
they
know
they'll,
never
sit
in.
Even
if
the
tree
will
one
day
die,
we
can
find
comfort
in
knowing
that
it
will
shade
a
person
that
we
love
for
the
period
of
its
existence.
A
simple
way
to
become
an
influential
person
like
this
is
to
find
something.
B
You
know
you
truly
love
a
passion
that
encapsulates
you
and
find
a
way
to
make
money
off
of
it.
Not
only
will
it
not
only
will
make
a
suitable
lifelong
career,
but
carrying
a
passion
for
your
work
will
be
the
first
step
towards
you
achieving
mastery
over
that
field
and
becoming
an
influential
person
in
that
field.
Those
passions
that
you
can't
monetize,
though,
don't
don't
give
up
on
them,
keep
them
as
hobbies.
Your
passion
alone
can
change
the
world
just
as
we
benefit
from
the
efforts
of
humanity's
past.
B
We
have
the
ability
to
support
everybody
that
we
love,
who
will
live
with
us
and
beyond
us
in
the
innovations
and
the
successes
that
we
make,
but
we
also
suffer
from
the
mistakes
of
humanity's
past
in
the
past
two
years.
All
of
us
remember
this.
Our
class
witnessed
and
would
partook
in
a
global
pandemic.
B
Every
single
one
of
us
is
in
a
unique
position
to
change
the
world
for
the
better
through
the
power
of
the
technology
that
we
grew
up
with
through
the
skills
that
we
built
at
this
school
and
the
experiences
that
we've
had.
We
can
do
incredible
things
if
you
want
to
design
your
own
video
game,
you
can
do
it.
If
you
want
to
write
your
own
book,
you
can
do
it.
If
you
want
to
start
a
movement,
you
can
do
it.
B
We
every
one
of
us,
has
the
power
to
change
the
world
in
the
way
that
we
want
it.
We
are
the
ones
who
work
under
pressure.
Every
single
day,
with
our
future
on
the
line,
we
are
the
ones
who
notice
policies
in
our
school
that
we
didn't
like
and
worked
to
change
them.
We
were
the
ones
who
walked
out
of
our
classes
in
middle
school.
When
politicians
didn't
take
action
to
protect
our
lives,
we
are
the
ones
who
lived
through
the
global
pandemic,
but
still
found
ways
to
tell
our
friends.
B

C
Thank
you,
miss
pinkney.
It
is
my
pleasure
to
introduce
some
student
speakers
this
morning.
First,
our
salutatorian,
our
salutatorian,
has
modeled
excellent
leadership
during
her
high
school
tenure.
C
She
has
achieved
at
the
highest
academic
levels
and
has
been
involved
in
extracurricular
activities
that
have
made
her
a
balanced
student
as
well
activities
like
key
club
and
national
honor
society
and
deca.
She
was
a
raptor
athlete
and
played
both
lacrosse
and
basketball
at
academic
magnet.
She
excelled
in
the
most
difficult
classes
that
are
offered
at
this
school
or
at
any
school
across
the
nation,
and
has
earned
multiple
seals
of
distinction
for
her
work.
Please
join
me
in
welcoming
to
the
podium
your
salutatorian
for
the
class
of
2022,
luisa
grubb.
H
So
I
did
what
any
good
magnet
student
with
a
homework
assignment
would
do
I
procrastinated.
Unfortunately,
I
realized
I
couldn't
procrastinate
too
much
because
just
like
tank
tops
in
the
dress
code.
This
speech
had
to
be
approved
by
administration,
so
I
got
to
work
and
since
we
are
the
class
of
22,
I
wrote
a
list
of
22
things
that
make
us
cool
number
one
taylor,
swift,
literally
wrote
a
song
about
how
amazing
22
is
number
two.
We
are
graduating
from
the
number
two
range
school
in
the
country.
H
As
the
college
decision,
instagram
page
says
number
two
in
the
nation
number
one
in
our
hearts
number
three:
we
support
each
other
between
studying
and
learning
together
and
making
each
other
smile.
We
have
created
an
amazing
community
at
magnet
number
four.
Our
competitive
drive
in
out
of
the
magnet
parking
lot
number
five,
our
community
service
as
a
class,
we've
logged
countless
hours
and
improved
our
community
and
a
special
congrats
to
those
of
you
who
fulfilled
the
service
requirements.
H
In
spite
of
your
forms
being
lost
in
a
certain
teacher's
filing
cabinet
number,
six,
our
dance
skills
between
prom
and
our
before
school
wall,
day
dances.
We
were
able
to
show
off
our
skills
on
the
dance
floor
number:
seven,
the
fact
that
we
survived
and
learned
through
a
global
pandemic
number
eight
from
the
birdcage
to
spirit
week.
We
always
had
amazing
school
spirit
with
loud
cheers
and
costumes
that
took
hours
to
assemble
number
nine.
H
There's
no
doubt
that
the
class
of
22
has
amazing
musical
talent
number
12,
our
artistry
from
people
who
won
awards
for
their
art
to
people
who
ran
out
of
paint
in
the
magnet
parking
lot.
We
are
certainly
original
and
creative
number
13
we're
just
playing
cool
number
14.
We
are
leaders
after
kovid.
We
brought
back
and
led
many
traditions
this
year,
such
as
a
pep
rally
and
crepe
and
taco
sales
number
15,
our
athleticism.
H
We
were
definitely-
and
I
can't
emphasize
this
enough-
100
always
on
time
to
school,
and
we
never
slept
in
too
late

got
stuck
by
a
train
number

our
intelligence.
If
you
haven't
heard
the
motto
we're
seriously
smart
number
18,
we
are
determined
from
fighting
for
early
outs
to
getting
through
college
applications.
H

Our
coaches
donated
their
time
and
wisdom
to
make
us
better
people
number
20,
the
administrators
and
staff
who
have
made
our
lives
at
school
run
smoothly
these
past
years.
Without
your
organization,
we
wouldn't
have
made
it
past
class
registration
and
a
final
announcement
on
behalf
of
administration
if
you
haven't
filled
out
your
school
climate
survey.

Yet
where
have
you
been
21,
our
amazing
teachers
who
taught
us
through
some
chaotic
years,
especially
when
we
were
plagued
by
the
easily
transmittable
diseases
of
covid
and
senioritis
your
patience
and
knowledge,
especially
when
it
came
to
defining
hyperboles
and
polynomial
long
division,
helped
us
to
learn
and
be
prepared
for
the
rest
of
our
lives
and
finally,
to
our
families,
who
supported
us
every
step
of
the
ways
every
step
of
the
way?
We
could
not
have
done
it
without
you
with
22
points
to
back
us
up.

one
of
those
classes
and
when
he
goes
out
into
the
world
well,
beyond
his
college
days
at
duke
university,
he
will
always
serve
as
an
ambassador
for
academic
magnet
high
school.
Our
associate
principal
miss
pinkney
has
known
the

his
freshman
year
and
followed
his
success
with
pride.

I
I
It
seemed
like
strange
advice
to
me
not
that
it's
bad
advice
by
any
means,
it's
probably
the
best
advice
you
could
give
anyone
writing
a
speech
or
really,
I
think,
to
anyone
in
general,
but
I
found
it
weird
since
supposed
to
be
up
here
today
because
of
whatever's
in
my
head.
Not
what's
in
my
heart,
I'm
not
sure.
What's
up
there
is
that
great
anyway,
though,
my
1v
calculus
class
can
tell
you
about
how
I
didn't
know
what
goat
cheese
was
and
I've
never
gone
wrong,
listening
to
miss
pinky
either.
I
So,
instead
of
continuing
to
make
lousy
jokes,
let
me
do
the
other
graduation
speech
thing
of
reminiscing
over
the
past
few
years.
For
me,
my
first
experience
with
academic
magnet
was
as
a
soa
6th
grader.
I
remember
going
on
the
bus
and
observing
these
big,
weird
creatures
called
magnet.
Students
saw
them
as
a
bunch
of
nerds
who
dressed
up
really
funny
twice
every
year
and
three
years
later,
I'd
be
one
of
them
like
many
of
us.
In
the
class
of
22,
my
first
memory
at
magnet
was
summer
scholars.
I
I'm
sure
it
was
a
great
program
and
all,
but
to
be
honest,
I
don't
remember
much
from
it,
though
only
distinct
image
that
lasts
from
that
summer
is
a
balloon.
I
remember
playing
that
silly
balloon
game.
When
we
all
got
in
a
group,
I
don't
know
what
it's
called,
but
we
got
in
a
circle,
threw
a
balloon
around
and
tried
to
keep
it
up
for
as
long
as
possible.
I
Yet
here
we
are
today
about
to
graduate
simply
put
that
wouldn't
have
been
possible
without
all
the
support
and
love
we've
been
so
lucky
to
receive.
Nobody
goes
through
life
alone,
and
even
if
they
are
as
the
remarkable
young
adult
sitting
in
front
of
me
right
now,
and
because
of
this,
I
would
like
to
take
some
time
to
thank
all
of
you,
but
the
ones
here
today,
no
one's
here
in
spirit
for
said,
support
to
any
ccsd
leaders
among
us
today.
I
Thank
you
for
all
that
you
do
for
guiding
us
through
the
pandemic
for
ensuring
that
schools
all
schools,
not
just
ours,
run
smoothly
and
well
frankly,
for
letting
magnate
exist
to
all
the
magnet
staff
and
faculty.
Thank
you
for
the
passion
you
bring
to
education.
The
school
wouldn't
be
the
same
without
you
and
I'm
not
sure
where
to
start
had
so
many
genuine
and
hilarious
and
amazing
interactions
with
the
teachers
here,
mr
phillips,
giving
the
best
gift.
You
could
give
a
magnet
student
nap
time
during
his
ap
counter.
I
I'd
be
willing
to
take
high
school
history
all
over
again
to
do
the
history
simulations
that
I've
missed
out
on,
of
course,
also
to
play
chess
in
your
room
for
another
four
years.
The
list
of
teachers
I
had
to
thank
goes
on
and
on
and
even
for
the
ones.
I've
never
had
before
know
that
the
class
of
22
appreciates
everything
you've
done
for
us.
We're
aware
that
these
four
years
have
been
just
as
challenging
for
many
of
you
as
it
has
for
us.
I
I
Thank
you
for
the
many
lectures
and
lessons
taught
not
just
about
history
or
science
or
english,
but
also
about
being
becoming
a
better
kinder
human
and
living
a
more
fulfilling
life
and
to
all
the
families
of
magnet
students
with
us
today,
especially
the
parents.
Thank
you
for
all
the
sacrifices
you've
made
the
past
few
years
going
to
magnet
is
a
choice
that
for
many
means
getting
up
earlier,
having
to
drive
farther
dealing
with
many
sleepless
nights
and
many
evenings
with
stressed
kids.
I
I
Lastly,
to
my
fellow
classmates
I
like
to
thank
you
all
to
we've
been
through
a
lot
together,
and
I
think
that
through
all
of
it,
we've
made
each
other
stronger.
You
are
all
amazing
and
have
been
sources
of
inspiration
for
me.
When
I
look
at
the
rows
of
faces
in
front
of
me,
I
see
the
future
leaders
of
our
country,
the
future
engineers
and
scientists,
artists
and
writers,
doctors
and
lawyers.
I
I
So,
as
a
token
of
my
appreciation,
I'd
like
to
leave
you
with
one
piece
of
advice,
I've
been
talking
all
this
time
about
this
keeping
balloons
off
the
ground
nonsense,
and
while
that
is
important,
there
will
be
times
when
those
balloon
drop
gravity
is
inevitable,
but
that's
okay.
We
can
always
pick
them
up.
Another
time
give
them
a
push
upwards
and
move
on
instead.
The
one
thing
I
really
don't
want
us
to
forget
are
the
other
balloons
in
our
lives.
The
ones
filled
with
our
passions
and
dreams.
I
think
those
are
the
truly
important
ones.
I
The
ones
filled
with
helium
ready
to
float
up
into
the
air
raptors
be
ready
to
fly
after
them,
lest
they
disappear
forever.
Believe
that,
no
matter
how
dark
the
nights
that
lie
ahead
might
be,
there
will
always
be
stars
to
illuminate
a
path
forwards,
for
you,
spread
your
wings
wide
and
source
ceaselessly
into
the
sky,
there's
no
better
time
than
now
to
go
on
a
journey
and,
as
you
all
embark
on
your
next
journey,
I
want
to
end
with
this.
One
quote
from
this
boring
show
about
rowing
gondolas
on
mars.
I
Have
you
heard
this
story
before
when
a
certain
traveler
left
on
a
journey
in
search
of
what
he
desired?
He
was
told
by
his
teacher.
You
mustn't
lose
your
way,
because
if
you
make
one
wrong
turn,
you
will
never
find
what
you
were
searching
for.
I
Unfortunately,
the
traveler
lost
his
way
and
hung
his
head
in
dismay,
but
when
he
raised
his
head
again
what
he
saw
before
him
was
a
world
even
more
magnificent
than
what
he
was
searching
for
means.
If
you
don't
make
mistakes,
there
are
things
you
won't
discover
class
of
2022.
My
heartfelt
congratulations.
I
