Valedictorian Address Learning by Connor Novak A Good evening ladies and gentleman, family and friends, and re- anonymous person is the literary representation of our grad class. As spected teachers. Tonight, we are here to celebrate our graduation from we have and will go through life, we come across activities, jobs, hobbies, our high school, and the fact that we are about to jump headfirst into, people and other such wonders that drive us absolutely crazy, and and make our mark, on the real world. I would first like to thank my make us crave what we are doing more and more. When we see people fellow graduates for the honour they have bestowed upon me by electing pursuing their passion, it is like finding true nirvana. The feeling we me valedictorian. However, I very quickly realized that I had no idea get around these people is so rare that, when it ends, we are left waiting what a valedictorian speech was, let alone how to write one. So I did until we get to see them again. We graduates understand this and we what our generation is so good at and googled it. The first thing the in- realize that the feeling we get from setting our souls on fire is not one to terweb said was, “Congratulations! You have been chosen to deliver this be taken lightly and that we must be relentless and fearless in discover- speech because you have proven that you are an excellent student who ing our dreams. We also understand that in order to truly fulfill our can live up to adult responsibilities.” Humour aside, that point made me lives and to truly find our passion, selves and our happiness in life we realize something; we have been gathering knowledge and experience must “Be fearless in pursuit of what sets our souls on fire” for this moment our entire lives and tonight is the night we realize that it is now us, the graduates, who are about to take the reins of life and it Despite all of the hype preparation and planning for a night about us, is now our time to be relentless in the pursuit of what sets our souls on it is imperative that we stop and take a moment and look back on the fire. It is our time, graduates, and now that we are in this moment and learning and the wonderful people who have got us to where we are about to begin our pursuit, we must think of what we have learned, who today. Perhaps the most important teachers are our parents; they have has taught us, and what tools we have been given to succeed. been with us, taught us and helped us through thick and thin. From our first time on the potty to our first relationships, they have been there “Be fearless in pursuit of what sets your soul on fire”. This quote by an to help us teach us and tell us “no” when we want to do crazy things. Valedictorian Address Continued We may resent them from time to time, but we quite literally owe them perseverance, loyalty, determination and what it truly means to be on our lives. We must also take a moment to think of our grandparents. a team. Furthermore, the reasons that we learned so much more from We must remember how they spoiled us and taught us things that our our teachers is that they lead by example and showed us how to act, parents never would in a million years. Their experience and stories behave, and showed us the ideals that everyone desired us to have. Our help drive us and push us and remember that as bad as we have it, teachers taught us how to act and what traits we will need to have for things were much worse back then when they had to walk eight miles the pursuit, and they taught us the knowledge we will need to have so uphill each way, every day, just to get to school. Joking aside, thank that we can be fearless in the pursuit of what sets our souls on fire. you, parents and grandparents; we owe you our lives and no one wishes to see us be fearless in the pursuit of what sets our souls on fire like you One thing that really struck me when I was researching how to write guys do. this speech is when my research told me that “Now your goal is to make every student in your class feel special, important and inspired’. Despite how much we have learned and what we have been taught by That quote doesn’t sit well with me. Why just “feel special” why just our parents and family members, we cannot diminish the role of the “feel important”, and why aren’t my classmates inspired? Everyone in staff in Preeceville School. From our very first days of school, when this class should already know that they are special, unique, and that we could barely even read and write, to this moment right now, our everyone of us possesses an unrivaled ability to change the world. Ev- teachers have been there for us. Our teachers have done more than eryone in this class should know that we are important and that we are just teach us the curriculum and anyone who thinks otherwise is dead a class that can accomplish great deeds. Everyone in this class should wrong. The staff here has inspired us, taught us life lessons, camara- be inspired, by their futures, by their parents, by their accomplish- derie, responsibility and honesty. Our teachers have given thousands ment, and, most importantly, by themselves. This is a class of winners, and thousands of hours too us to ensure that we learn these lessons, not champions, world changers and a class of people that will succeed and just in the classroom, but also in the sports that they spend hundreds will be fearless in pursuit of what sets our soul on fire. of hours coaching. The sports they volunteer to coach helped us learn Class of 2017!
