A
B
So
get
used
to
it.
We
are
ready
for
I
want
to
say
two
more
families,
but
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
I'm
gonna
be
introducing
a
wonderful
person
on
stage
she's,
our
College
and
Career
coordinator,
but
more
than
that
she's,
the
mother
of
reach.
Right
now.
She
just
brings
a
lot
of
Knowledge
from
all
of
the
dogs
that
she's
come
from
and
so
much
love.
C
Thank
you
so
good
evening.
Everyone
isn't
it
such
a
beautiful
day
to
celebrate
our
graduates.
My
name
is
Tanya
Byers
and
I'm.
The
College
and
Career
Readiness
coach
for
the
reach
program
I've
been
part
of
reach
for
the
last
past,
eight
years
and
I'm
spilling
on
every
single
year
with
our
students,
the
resiliency,
love
and
motivation
that
each
and
every
one
of
them
have
as
we
reflect
on
the
ears.
C
We
thank
you
for
putting
your
heart
and
soul
into
this
program
for
advocating
for
our
youth
and
laying
the
foundation
for
other
leaders
such
as
Kathleen,
Bray,
Malik,
helsham,
Dr,
beta
and
Helen,
and
our
amazing
director,
generous
goliado
and
staff
like
Stephen,
Amy,
link,
Samir,
Stacy
and
last
but
not
least,
are
OG's
Bruce
and
Mr
G,
Malik
and
Daenerys.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
advocating
supporting
and
motivating
not
only
our
youth,
but
also
our
staff.
We
love,
you
appreciate
you
and
we
need
you
out.
All
reach
has
gone
through
many
transitions.
C
The
heart
and
mission
of
our
program
has
lived
through
all
of
our
leaders
who
impact
our
students
through
our
commitments
and
not
only
to
reach,
but
our
beautiful
community
of
Chelsea
graduates,
as
you
all
navigate
Life,
After,
High
School,
and
go
off
to
do
amazing
things
always
remember
that
you
have
a
home
Outreach.
You
have
a
community
of
people
that
love
you
care
for
you
and
no
matter
how
big
the
challenge
is.
We
will
figure
it
out
with
you
14
years
later,
although
many
things
have
changed,
one
thing
hasn't
our
mission.
C
We
want
our
graduates
to
Excel
and
come
back
and
give
back
to
our
community
and
youth.
We
need
you
Chelsea
needs
you.
If
it's
one
thing
that
you
get
out
of
the
Sleep
speech,
remember
to
always
be
like
Mr
G
and
remember
that
reach
is
and
forever
will
be,
your
home
away
from
home.
Thank
you
and
congratulations.

A

On
behalf
of
the
city
city
council,
I'd
like
to
welcome
on
everybody,
I've
been
attached
to
this
program
from
day
one
for
my
wife,
Linda
and
Leota
Robinson
I,
try
to
show
up
every
year
and
show
my
support
for
all
the
kids
I
think
it's
important
that
we
get
back
in
community
I
like
to
recognize
a
former
colleague
on
the
council.
Now
member
at
school
committee.
A
D
A
long
time
friend
and
an
outstanding
supporter
of
the
breach
program
was
a
friend
a
late
Sue
Clough
who
ran
Choice
through
education
and
Helen,
has
been
charged
with
overseeing
the
monies
that
have
been
coming
to
reach
for
now
at
least
10
years
kind
of
lost
a
lot
stronger,
but
I'm
glad
to
see
that
Helen
has
been
here.
The
last
few
years
with
us
and
she'll
continue
to
support
the
program.
I'll
make
sure.
D
But
to
the
graduates,
congratulations
remember
as
Dr
Jennings,
like
one
of
my
lines
about
the
lab,
put
the
ladder
down
and
help
somebody
out
remember
to
do
that.
Remember
to
always
give
back.
You
know
it's
important
that
you
set
the
tone
for
kids
coming
behind.
You
know
and
enjoy
the
evening
and
have
a
good
night.
B
Thank
you
thank
you,
and
so
in
our
agenda.
It
says
that
Mo
would
be
performing,
but
he's
not
here
yet
with
his
family
he's
still
on
his
way.
But
that's
okay,
because
I
know
that
my
staff
is
ready,
I'm.
Looking
at
you
guys
giving
you
a
lot
of
love
because
you're,
not
so
the
first,
it's
gonna
go!
Oh
oh
he's
here!
So
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
if
he
like
right,
he
might
need
like
Oh
Brother.
B
But
I
do
want
to
introduce
a
very
important
person
to
this
program.
The
grandfather
of
this
program,
I'm,
looking
at
him,
I'm,
hoping
that
he
knows
that
he's
next
and
I.
We
love
you
Bruce,
you're,
so
important
to
this
program.
There's
a
lot
of
graduates
here
that
are
not
here
too,
that
you
have
influenced
and
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
for
your
ongoing,
like
support
with
us.
We
love
you
so
much
and
I.
Welcome
you
to
the
stage.
E
Congratulations
to
everybody
that
graduates,
the
Marcos
I
mean
I
had
him
when
he
was
in
sixth
grade
and
Aloo
is
not
here
right
now.
I.
Add
him
I
think
in
sixth
grade
too
I'm,
so
glad
that
this
program
came
alive.
Mrs,
Robinson,
you're,
amazing.
What
you
did
you
never
keeping
this
going!
Stephanie
Rodriguez,
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
people.
I
can
name
this.
This
is
so
important
for
these
kids.
You
don't
understand
it's
a
few
to
me.
This
is
my
family.
E
Beside
my
other
family
I
love
this
program,
I'll
do
whatever
I
can
I
already
told
you?
If
you
need
me
to
raise
money
or
whatever
I'm
I'm
out
there
you
need
like
when
we
have
biker
plants,
Mr
Robinson,
you
know,
I
went
out
there.
I
got
a
lot,
I'll
go
out
and
do
whatever
whatever
I
have
to
do
for
this
program.
E
I
can't
believe
it's
a
yeah,
Mr
G,
amazing
guy
I,
looked
up
to
him.
I
want
to
tell
one
funny
story
about
Mr
G,
like
kind
of
like
cheating
a
little
when
we
were
in
there
and
my
team
was
winning
I
hit
a
home
run.
He
called
it
foul
what
so
I
said
I'm
out.
Let's
go
guys
we're
out
of
here.
He
turned
around.
He
goes
you
big
baby
everybody's
laughing
I
go
yup,
I'm,
still
leaving
and
just
amazing
things.
This
guy
did
I
can't
believe
it's
a
year.
E
E
E
B
B
F
F
F
I
know
it's
normal
for
younger
people
to
look
up
to
older
people
and
be
inspired
by
them
and
admire
them,
but
I
feel
the
same
way
when
I
look
at
these
two
I
admire
them,
I'm
inspired
by
them
and
I
look
up
to
them
just
as
well
Dede,
if
I'm,
not
mistaken,
I.
Believe
I've
known
you
for
all
four
years
of
high
school
and
a
little
before
that.
F
For
those
of
you
that
don't
know,
DeMarcos
owns
his
own
brand,
his
own
clothing
brand.
It's
called
dream
driven,
but
it's
more
than
a
clothing
brand.
It's
it's
set
up
to
inspire
others
to
believe
you
can
do
anything
and
there's
not
many
people.
Yet
not
only
are
you
a
businessman
but
you're
a
successful
business
businessman
in
high
school
there's,
not
many
people
that
I
know
that
can
say
that
and
I
want
you
to
continue
to
strive
and
be
great.
F
D
B
H
H
Don't
worry
about
failure
worry
about
the
chances
you
miss
when
you
don't
even
try
have
courage.
It
takes
courage
to
grow
up
and
become
who
you
really
are
six.
Do
your
best.
Success
comes
from
knowing
that
you
did
your
best
to
become
the
best
that
you
are
capable
of
being
apply
yourself.
You
have
to
apply
yourself
each
day
to
becoming
a
little
better
by
becoming
a
little
better,
each
and
every
day,
over
a
period
of
time,
you
will
become
a
little
sorry
a
lot
better.
H
H
B
J
Go
ahead,
Mom
all
right,
so
you
know
everybody
know
me!
No
more!
You
know
whatever
project
made
whatever
you
want
to
call
me.
I
just
want
to
say,
I
appreciate
everybody
for
coming
out
here
for
the
class
of
2023..
We
really
did
it
came
a
long
way
and
I
appreciate
the
rich
family,
because
you
know
they

been
there
for
us,
always
helping
us
out.
You
know
giving
us
what
we
need,
and
you
know
we've
been
doing
big
things
with
them
for
a
long
time
and
I

them

all
my
heart.

then
you're
gonna
get
your
prizes
okay.

B
G
I

just
just
always

while
I
was

five
and
stuff

always

which
way
to

So

B
All
right,
the
next
person
is
living
her
best
life
at
the
Dominican
Republic,
because
she
is
at
the
senior
trip
Allison
I'm
like
we're,
announcing.
Oh
it's
ollie.
Now,
oh,
my
bad
okay,
we'll
do
it
well.
I'll
be
is
important,
Oregon
right
now
for
a
national
competition,
but
I
talked
to
Ali
today
and
I'm
like
Ali.
You
need
for
the
list
for
me
all
of
your
accomplishments
as
an
athlete,
because
you've
done
so
much
and
I
don't
want
to
miss
a
Beat.
B
Ali
was
a
student
leader
for
the
reach
program,
especially
throughout
the
pandemic,
and
I
feel
like
the
pandemic
saved
him,
because
that
was
a
time
where
he
wasn't
able
to
express
himself
as
an
athlete.
So
we
were
here
to
make
sure
that
he
wasn't
alone
and
that
he
was
still
developing
himself
as
a
leader
and
a
student
just
to
name
a
few
things.
B
Three
state
qualifiers,
two
recipients
of
the
coaches
award,
captain
of
the
varsity
football
All-State
and
National
qualifier
unsung
hero
award,
Rookie
of
the
Year
award
and
inducted
into
the
outdoor
track
field
of
Hall
of
Fame.
So
Ali
at
your
recording.
This
I
love
you
this
one's
for
you
you're,
not
here
right
now,
but
you
know,
I
told
you
we
would
continue
to
honor
you
and
please
come
back
to
me.
Let's
talk
about
all
the
really
cool
things
that
you're
about
to
get
into,
because
you
are
a
force
to
be
reckoned
with.
B
She
was
a
member
of
I'm.
Sorry
in
her
she
was
a
member
from
middle
school
to
her
to
her
junior
year.
Her
senior
year
was
really
dedicated
to
all
the
hard
work
she
did
in
cheerleading,
but
she
always
came
by
the
office
and
made
sure
that
she
showed
her
love.
If
we
ever
had
anything
to
help
her
with,
we
were
always
there.
B
She
sorry
she
was
a
huge
voice
in
our
first
book
on
the
listen.
She
has
a
lot
of
wonderful
poems
in
that
book.
I
met
her
as
somebody
that
that
liked
to
write
privately
and
the
things
that
she
would
tell
like
things
that
she
would
read
to
me
that
she
wrote
were
always
beautiful,
we're
always
vulnerable.
B
She
was
also
able
to
go
to
the
New
York
City
Andover
bundle,
New
York
writers
program
and
she
led
workshops
in
Lawrence
and
Chelsea
on
creative
writing
and
again
she's
an
amazing,
comforting
Spirit,
who
always
provides
safe
spaces
for
vulnerability
even
for
staff.
I
feel
like
I,
don't
know
Allison,
you
were
always
the
type
of
person
that
was
just
really
mature
and
I
feel
like
I
found
myself
in
places
where
I
needed
vulnerability
and
I
needed
to
cry
and
I
needed
a
hug
so
I.
B
B
Yeah
our
next
person
is
not
here.
I,
also
think
that
she
is
also
in
a
Dominican
Republic,
which
is
where
I
wish
I
was
right.
Now
Genesee
is
an
amazing
student.
She
was
also
more
here
throughout
her
beginning
High,
School
stages
and
Middle
School
stages,
but
janaci.
She
ran
a
student
leadership
in
reach
during
the
pandemic
as
well
and
showcased
informative
videos
on
women,
empowerment,
black
history.
B
B
I
miss
her
and
I
wish
that
you
know
I
wish
she
was
here
with
us,
but
I
am
so
excited
to
announce
that
she
will
be
continuing
her
education
at
the
bhcc
and
she's
gonna
be
amazing.
She
has
a
lot
of
skills
and
her
smile,
as
you
can
see,
is
infectious,
so
I
can't
wait
to
hear
about
what
what's
next,
for
you
Denise,
please
be
sure
to
come
visit
us
at
the
reach
office.
We
will
always
be
here
for
you
and
we
love
you
girl,
it's
giving
a
round
of
applause.
B
B
And
then
Oscar
so
Oscar,
he
joined
us
this
year
as
well,
I
known
Oscar,
since
he
was
in
Middle
School
when
I
used
to
work
for
the
trio
program
as
a
middle
school,
specialist
and
I
was
on
pretty
much
brought
him
into
Trio
and
then
I
didn't
see
him
for
a
while
and
as
soon
as
I
met
with
him
back
and
when
I
got
this
position,
especially
after
the
pandemic,
he
was
really
excited
to
join
reach.
He
was
also
really
focused
on
doing
on
applying
to
different
schools.
B
B
Amazing:
okay:
every
single
year
I
read
this
poem.
So
if
you've
heard
this
poem
before
I'm
sorry
I
wrote
this
poem
for
the
class
of
2017..
I
know
that
Hassan
is
at
this
point,
because
I
think
I
wrote
it
for
you
Hassan
and
every
single
year.
I
have
read
this
poem
and
I
closed
this
ceremony.
With
this
poem
I've
all
that's
supposed
to
meet.
It
was
your
class
that
I
wrote,
20
2017.,
yes,
I
read
this
I
read
this
poem
in
multiple
spaces.
B
I
feel
that
this
poem
heals
people,
because
I
I
wrote
this
poem
for
myself
and
then
I
developed
myself
as
a
as
an
activist
towards
the
end
for
you
guys,
but
I
feel
like
I,
had
to
write
about
me
because
I
had
to
know
who
I
was
before
I
ever
stepped
into
a
space
like
this
and
provided
any
kind
of
services
for
you
guys.
So
this
was
called
true.
Colors
and
I
am
going
to
sing
just
a
little
bit
and
my
voice
isn't
the
best.
So,
like
you
know,
yeah
and
we'll
see
how
this
goes.
G
B
I
remember
showering
with
three
of
my
cousins
in
the
bathtub
at
the
projects
where
the
Cockroaches
colonized,
no
matter
how
much
Ajax
and
fabuloso
My
grandmother
used
I'm
a
mashup
of
hippie
and
hypebeast.
A
romantic
helpless,
never
needing
to
be
saved,
I
am
bright
and
if
I
was
God,
I'd
rain,
pink
light
on
every
single
black
girl
crying
because
her
daddy,
don't
love
her
or
her
man
was
arrested
or
her
man's
life,
but
her
hair
is
enough
for
today.
B
I
am
smiles
and
rusting
faces
the
queen
of
quit
with
sizes
speaking
so
fast,
I
forget
what
I
say:
I
am
mild
and
spicy
black
I
know
my
little
with
my
rice
and
beans
on
a
Sunday.
I
am
laughter,
I
am
sadness,
a
Pisces
girl
with
too
much
heart
and
not
enough.
Sacral
I
am
red,
light
orange
light,
yellow
lights,
green
light,
blue
and
purple
I
am
a
balanced
beam
of
chakras
all
aligned
to
a
door
and
whoop
you
don't
try
me
I'm.
B
An
activist
I
will
continue
to
fight
for
my
students
rights
to
learn
the
truth
and
not
the
life.
They
tell
you
facts.
You
are
not
the
minority
facts.
Statistics
will
never
add
up
to
the
richness
of
your
culture
and
happiness
facts.
Don't
let
them
take
that
away
from
you,
your
facts.
You
are
magical
black
and
brown
children,
facts!
Your
minds
can
create
mountains,
facts,
your
gracious!
B
Sorry!
You
can
create
graciousness
after
greatness
and
fumble
after
failure
and
still
survive
in
this
dog
eat
dog
world
facts.
Your
Redemption
lies
within
your
light
focus
on
the
sky
focused
on
the
rainbows
and
the
treasures
that
come
with
it
focus
on
when
you
refract
your
life
through
the
prisms
that
shape
your
red
lights,
orange
lights,
yellow
lights,
green
light,
blue
and
purple,
for
you
are
far
too
often
covered
by
the
very
system
that
hides
your
true
colors,
so
don't
be
afraid
to.
Let
them
show
your
true
colors.
Oh,
it's
beautiful,
like
a
rainbow.
