~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
there are many things in life that call
for celebration, tears of joy, happiness
and a small sense of obscurity. However
there are very few goals in this life that
you will reach and feel every one of those
feelings at the very same time. And
ending this chapter in our lives is one of
those times. As I look among all of you,
most all have the same look of achievement
on your faces, as we should. We have
overcome years of hard work, triumph and
aggravation. Throughout, however, we
should have never once felt alone. High
school was not just about grades, tests
and the nerve-raking deadlines. It was
the peak of our social lives and the
astounding friendships we have built over
the last four years.
As I am sure most of you do, I remember my
very first day at westwind. It was my
freshman year and I was sitting on the
bench in front of what was then mr.
Calvin’s room. The first person that came
up and talked to me was shannon murphy.
She was the very first person I befriended
in high school. I am honored to say that
we are still very good friends. The
variety of the people I chose to associate
with is so strung out it is inconceivable.
I have my level-headed, straight-forward,
dedicated to everything they start type of
friends, like shannon murphy and amanda
khaler. And then I have my very outgoing,
spontaneous, procrastination type of
friends, like my best friend christina guy
and pamela sterne. I find myself dead
center between these type of people. I
often found myself talking all 2 hours in
mr.O’malley’s class instead of doing my
work. However in classes like yearbook, I
found myself rather uptight and
level-headed as to never miss a deadline.
Because everyone of you walking across
this stage tonight have given me a piece
of advice now and again I am proud to be
the person I am today. I wouldn’t be half
of who I am without your guidance, support
and friendships.
As this night comes to an end, and we all
leave this auditorium take a glance around
you these are the people that made high
school what it was and make sure not to
lose touch with them because in the fall
when most of us go off to college, they
will be the people that we start all over
again with. One final note, this is the
last time we will all match each other!
Congratulations class of 2004! We finally
made it!
