CoAst, 7(0 2- S UOAA, I When I began to write this speech, I wanted to say things that aren't said in every speech on graduation day. I found, however, that it is a difficult task, because I think that although we are each individuals, we all have many of the same mixed emotions on this day. We may feel sadness, happiness, anxiety, fears, hopes, . . . and none of us are quite sure of just where we will be tomorrow. As I stand before each of you today -parents, faculty, friends, and my fellow graduating seniors - I see reflections of past experiences and visions of what tomorrow might bring. I am here, as so many before me have been, to summarize our school years, and to give recognition to all of our deserving supporters. It's very difficult to summarize thirteen years into one short speech - probably the hardest task I've ever been assigned. In order to give these past years and all of the people who have made them possible due recognition, I would first like to thank: Our parents. I am sure that I speak for all of my classmates when I say, Thank you Mom and Dad It's been your support and love and understanding that has put us here today You were always there for us. You've helped us through good and bad and what we owe you cannot ever truly be repaid. I hope that the pride you feel today is payment enough. To the faculty and administration: I want to thank you for providing us with a base from which to grow. You've given us a start and now each of us must take the knowledge that we've gained and build ourselves to be the best that we can be To our many, many friends among the underclassmen: You'll be here someday and you won't know what happened to your high school years As you look ahead, I am sure you see an eternity of tests, teachers, and seemingly never-ending days. As I look back, I see years that have flown right past me, and once again I am looking ahead Enjoy this time and don't ever take for granted the many friends you've made. You'll miss them some day, much as we'll miss you. Finally, to my classmates: In a few short minutes all of this will be behind us. It's time for us to be what we have only talked about being and do what we have only imagined. There are so many decisions to be made. Whatever you decide, respect yourself for that choice and I hope that you will gain success and happiness from it. Do what you do to the best of your ability, and don't ever quit striving for your dream. Set goals for yourselves, and be careful not to live life like there's no tomorrow. For tomorrow will come, just as it always has. If you have plans and dreams, you can achieve whatever it is you wish. You can be whatever you want to be. Always remember though, whatever you make of your lives, make yourselves proud. I feel like I'm saying goodbye to my family today. For the past thirteen years, we've grown up together. We've played together, we learned to read together, to write together, we've laughed together, and we've grown to love and respect one another. The closeness that we have felt as a class is unlike any that I can ever remember We have always been proud of the fact that we are the Class of 1982. We've all made some wonderful friends here, and although some of us may never see one another again, we always have our memories. There are so many things that I could say today, so many memories about which I could reminisce. But I'm sure that we all have our own special feelings for one another, and those are feelings that we will always cherish. I leave you today to remember the good times, the good friends, and the treasured moments of our past years together To the graduating Class of 1982: May your days be bright and your lives be long and filled with much happiness. Thank you Cristi Harman Salutatorian 10
