[0:11] a very very caring group. This group is [0:14] really really close. Um they're they're [0:17] there to support each other in pretty [0:19] much everything. Um you can feel it in [0:22] the hallways. Teachers have said it, [0:24] guests have said it. Um it's just a [0:26] different feeling and it's just a [0:28] closeness. Um, this group really to me, [0:32] um, says what the Anoka family is all [0:35] [Music] [0:43] about. Uh, I will always remember the [0:46] people, you know, coming here every day [0:48] at for school, it's like it's like a [0:50] it's like a building full of diverse [0:52] people, people with different [0:54] backgrounds, you know. Um, I love [0:56] talking to everybody, so it's very fun [0:57] to be here. I think something I will [0:59] always remember is just feeling included [1:04] no matter where you [1:05] [Music] [1:11] are. I'm definitely going to remember um [1:14] how welcoming the staff is. Um whenever [1:17] I walk into the school and I see a staff [1:18] member or a teacher, it's always a smile [1:20] and hello. And that that'll be something [1:23] I miss. I am always going to remember [1:25] how kind some of the teachers really [1:27] were to [1:29] [Music] [1:36] me. I would say that I'm always going to [1:38] remember people that I met throughout my [1:40] life that have made me who I am. The [1:43] experiences that I'll learn from. [1:46] [Music] [1:54] I think bringing us back to what the NOA [1:58] family is all about. This group has [2:00] really solidified that. Um, and I think [2:02] they've taken us to to new levels. We [2:04] talk a lot about the the new Anoka [2:06] family and how things have changed over [2:08] the last 15 years. Uh, and this group [2:11] has really shown us what that's all [2:14] about and and I think made it more real [2:16] for our younger students. [2:19] [Music] [2:24] I'm most proud of the bond I've seen our [2:27] class go through starting from freshman [2:30] year to now. Like everyone knows [2:32] everyone and I think that makes for a [2:34] stronger community and stronger class. [2:37] [Music] [2:46] I think that I am most proud of figuring [2:50] out who I am as a [2:57] person. I think I'm most proud of just [2:59] the relationships I've built with [3:00] friends and staff members. Just being [3:03] able to talk to anybody I see in the [3:05] halls. [3:07] [Music] [3:09] I am looking forward to nursing school. [3:13] I am going into nursing school and just [3:15] really having a good future. I'm most [3:18] looking forward to going to college and [3:21] having a little bit of that freedom, but [3:22] also being able to like um bring my [3:25] skills and like learn some more more [3:27] stuff. [3:30] [Music] [3:33] I'm really looking forward to just [3:34] figuring out what I want to do after [3:36] school. I would say I'm looking forward [3:37] to uh meeting new people, just starting [3:39] that next part of my [3:48] life. My words of wisdom, my advice for [3:51] the class of 2025 would be um take risks [3:57] like you have the last four years. Don't [3:59] be afraid to fail because through our [4:01] failures, we find our success. We learn. [4:04] You will make mistakes and when you do, [4:06] don't let them define you, but learn [4:07] from them and move forward. And I would [4:09] just say stay close and stay stay [4:12] humble, but also um keep those big [4:15] hearts and care for each other and and [4:17] go out and just do great things like [4:19] they've done the last four years.
