Graduation Speech
It's hard to say exactly how life without high school will affect me. I'm not worried, but for all of my life I've been inundated by that social blanket. Sometimes it wasn't so kind and I couldn't relax, but I'll admit that I did find certain moments where my peers and I could relate to the common struggles of adolescence, sliding deeper into a sleep that consumed our youth. And so much of that is what makes us who we are. Much greater parts of us were exposed in those times when we dreaded a grueling exam, longed for a day off, and cried over the loss of a classmate. Now that we are waking, let's go out and apply what this dream has taught us: to take everything in with good stride and to always be thankful for those that love us.
