once said that “All
our dreams can
come true...if we
have the courage
to pursue them.”
My fellow
graduates, we
have demonstrated
great courage to get this far!
We gather here together tonight to
celebrate our achievements as
elementary students and to support
one another in yet another stage of
our lives.
There were probably days when we
may have looked strange on the
outside and probably some days
when we were cause for great
concern, but I can assure you that we
are quite different on the inside.
For instance, on the outside Shawn
looks strong and a little intimidating
but we know that he would stick up
for anyone and would never hurt any
of his friends.
Michele, comes on strong and
looks a little extreme but when you
get to know her she is intelligent,
amusing, enthusiastic and full of
ideas.
Joost, can be difficult, because
when you talk to him he says “no
you’re wrong, this is how it is done.”
But you soon discover he is smart,
kind and knowledgeable.
Laura on the outside looksinnocent and quiet, but when youdiscover the real girl you don’t know
what hit you! She is energetic, can’t
stop talking and can crack a mean
comeback.
Connor, can scare you off when he
sings one of his songs, but it’s not
long before you love his craziness,
energetic personality and you always
walk away with a smile on your face.
On the inside Emily is kind, tons of
fun and can pretty much make a mess
of any kind of food that comes her
way.
Jon, is quiet and seems to be in his
own world all the time, but on the
inside he is funny and energetic.
Kayla on the outside is strong and
when it comes to sports you know
you don’t really stand a chance, but
she is also entertaining and really
smart.
Alec, on the outside looks like a
rock and roll star, but his friends
know that he can make any
impersonation and is tons of fun.
Virgina on the outside looks very
calm and shy, but on the inside she is
passionate, funny and very artistic.
You are immediately surprised by
Jason’s height and farm boy look, but
on the inside he loves animals and
wouldn’t hurt a fly.
Janelle on the outside looks like a
wild child, and when you get to know
her you discover she is smart, puts
her best foot forward on anything she
is doing and she is great with kids.Nick appears to be shy and down toearth but on the inside he is energetic,
a serious joker and is fun to be
around. Taylor, with her great curly hair isdown to earth, and will always
surprise you with her great ideas,
artistic flair and sense of humour. James, on the outside looks a littleshy, but on the inside he knows tons
