I remember seeing some of you at freshman orientation. We were all so short (well most of us) and looked so young and we were still in that phase of making "your mama" jokes. Then sophomore year came and things started to get more serious as we started to focus on school a little more, but deep down we were all still our immature selves. First year was real hard work and I remember almost everyone staying up until 2 or 3am every night, which was a huge shock coming from 11pm sharp before bed in second year. The first year was also particularly important as we all discovered what we were truly passionate about and began to formulate our dreams and ambitions for the future. Finally, we have senior year where everyone has matured immensely and started thinking about their time in high school and their future, including college and career paths. I feel honored and fortunate to watch such a talented class of students that not only includes engineers and math wizards, but also talented writers, artists, and speakers. We are truly a diverse class and we should be proud of that. Twenty years from now, when we all look back on our four years of high school, there will be nothing but memories, memories that we all hope to remember and keep in our lives. brains forever. One of my fondest memories of high school was having lunch with the team every day. We always make so many jokes and laugh so much that I felt like I always left the dinner table with an aching stomach. I hope to always remember the memory of lunch with the team, my friends, their faces, the jokes, the atmosphere, the food, everything. Just like me, I'm sure you all have one or more memories from high school that you would like to remember forever and this is completely natural because, after all, it is what makes us human. While many other species on the planet have memories and the ability to store them, no other species wants to store them forever as much as humans do and that's what makes us. Now I want you all to think about your fondest memory from high school. It doesn't have to be at school. It can be at home, outside of school, on vacation, whatever. Think about this memory and immerse yourself in it. Try to remember the smell, the faces, the dialogues, the images, the sounds, everything. Try to remember as much as you can and become part of the memory because, as sad as it may seem, that memory, in 20 years, will not be as clear as it is now. While we all strive to remember everything we learn, everyone we meet, and everything we do, unfortunately it is impossible to do so. Enjoy your memories while you can still enjoy them fully. Enjoy your last two hours of high school while you can. And finally, enjoy your last moments with all your friends and family before you all go off to do amazing things with your lives.
