Woodbury High School Graduates Record 700-Plus Students
Woodbury High School celebrated its 50th annual commencement ceremony Monday evening, graduating more than 700 students in what officials called the largest graduating class in the school's history.
The Class of 2025 included four valedictorians who achieved summa cum laude distinction with grade point averages of 4.3 or higher, according to Principal Sarah Sorenson Wagner. An additional 72 students graduated with GPAs of 4.0 or higher, while 168 students wore honor stoles recognizing outstanding scholarship.
Honor staff speaker Gary Diamond, selected by the graduating class, encouraged students to embrace challenges and maintain relationships. "Don't back down when things get tough, dig in," Diamond told the graduates. "Show people you care and let them know how important they are in your life, and never stop learning."
Student speakers included the four valedictorians and two peer-selected representatives who addressed themes of authenticity, kindness, and perseverance. The ceremony featured traditional elements including the presentation of colors by Air Force Junior ROTC cadets and the school choir performing the national anthem.
Superintendent Julie Nielsen officially accepted the graduating class on behalf of South Washington County Schools, certifying that all students had met state and district requirements for graduation. The ceremony concluded with the traditional cap toss as graduates began their next chapter.

[28:38] [Applause]
[28:52] hello all and welcome to the beginning of the rest of our lives now I know how
[28:57] cliched that might sound but it is entirely true before us lies a world of
[29:03] possibilities and it is to us to shape our own path make our own mark and
[29:08] become who we've always wanted to be i like food well no I love food which is
[29:15] something I have in common with an incredibly influential man from my childhood sorry Dad i'm not talking
[29:21] about you this short king I have in mind was never afraid to break down the boundaries of where he came from using
[29:29] his own unique skills to achieve his dreams that's right i'm talking about Remy the
[29:36] Like Remy I've always stood out from the pack a feeling all of us have felt at one point in our lives i dress weird i
[29:43] don't like chocolate and I've actually always enjoyed going to school even though some days seemed menial or boring
[29:51] such as when we had to memorize the presidential order of some old white dudes or write an essay about a book we
[29:58] may or may not have read sorry Mr nun school was a place of experimentation a
[30:04] place where I could safely express myself and find what fulfilled my interests class of 2025 I invite you all
[30:11] to hold on to what makes you you your unique traits talents and abilities are what give you an edge over the rest no
[30:18] one else is like you so don't let others break you down into fragments of yourself just to fit the mold of who
[30:24] they believe you should be no one else is like you and that's not a bad thing
[30:29] you shouldn't feel ashamed of that it's not a man against man world or black against white gay against straight
[30:36] Republican against democratic or even rat against human the world is being destroyed by this corrosive mentality we
[30:44] live in a society that is exponentially stripping us of our rights stripping us of any chances to express ourselves
[30:51] stripping us down to the fundamental stereotypes and gender roles we're supposed to live by but we are so much
[30:58] more than that as my man Gustoau said best anyone can cook but only the
[31:03] fearless can be great let us cook let us tear down these soul crushing societal
[31:09] norms that want us to color inside the lines live in your weirdness class of
[31:14] 2025 the only one stopping you from achieving your full potential is yourself exploit what others see as only
[31:22] a weakness we only get to live once so don't live as someone other than yourself who you are is incredible and
[31:30] like no other who you are is not wrong so own
[31:37] [Applause]
[31:45] it what was talking about was it Rakuni the singing raccoon ping the chef and
[31:51] the 2022 Oscar best picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once wait am I stage in front of more than a
[31:59] thousand people talking about
[32:11] raid some classes that taught me about the human body and the human condition
[32:16] toiled over essays stressed about tests and everything I do know it pales in
[32:21] comparison to all that I don't know why do pineapples make food taste weird are
[32:27] eating them why are children allowed to die from tuberculosis when it is completely treatable why do teachers
[32:34] sacrifice so much to educate us it's just so easy to say "I don't know."
[32:42] There's comfort in wallowing in that of course it was not lay in bed after school and doom scrolled for an hour and
[32:48] thought "Well there's nothing I can do." Let's face it life might be coming at us
[32:54] everything everywhere all at once giwan's character way in the film says
[33:01] powerfully "I don't know the only thing I do know is that we have to be kind
[33:07] please be kind especially when we don't know what's going on." We are going to
[33:13] venture out into a world where we are guaranteed to not know what's going on all of the time so it's more important
[33:20] than ever to take those words to heart we go out into a world where we'll be
[33:25] presented with challenging situations where so much seems out of our control
[33:30] but we can always choose to be kind women Wayne continues by saying "When I
[33:37] choose to see the good side of things I'm not being naive it is strategic and
[33:43] necessary it's how I've learned to survive through everything
[33:48] being kind having optimism are not weaknesses but strengths i know I'm so
[33:55] worried about the future of our planet and its biosphere but I know when I step
[34:00] away from Woodbury High School I will always choose to be kind
[34:07] [Applause]
[34:16] whatever Henry was saying about the future of our planet don't worry i've got it covered as long as I'm not
[34:22] hypnotized but before I go back to saving the world I want to talk about a feeling we've all had and are probably
[34:29] feeling right now it sneaks up when you hear an old song catch a familiar scent
[34:34] or even when you hop back on Fortnite again and realize you're no longer trying to win and instead chasing a
[34:40] memory because the game has gone to complete trash and will never be as good as it was when it first came out that
[34:47] feeling is nostalgia now nostalgia comes from the Greek words nostus meaning
[34:52] homecoming and algus meaning pain so nostalgia is the ache of returning home
[34:58] but what exactly is home that part used to confuse me until I watched the
[35:04] cinematic masterpiece up in Up Carl yes that old guy or dare I say is bombarded
[35:12] with nostalgia as he reflects on the life he used to have with his late wife Ellie he refuses to let go of his house
[35:19] because it holds so many fond memories of her but after meeting Russell the world's sweetest boy scout Carl learns
[35:25] that when one chapter ends another one is allowed and should begin at first he
[35:31] has to physically drag his house with him on his famous adventure to Paradise Falls carried by thousands of balloons
[35:38] but eventually he learns to let go by watching his house float away into the clouds surprising right saying simply
[35:44] "It's just a house." Now I could try saying it's just high school but I think
[35:50] we all know it's really not that easy to let go of the past but here's the thing you don't have to it's part of who who
[35:57] you are so bring the past with you like Carl we learn the past doesn't live in buildings or classrooms or any other
[36:05] physical entities it lives in us in our memories relationships successes
[36:10] mistakes and everything in between so the next time nostalgia comes creeping in I ask for you to embrace it nostalgia
[36:18] is proof that you're living a life to be proud of it's a privilege to yearn for your own memories but please don't get
[36:24] stuck aching to return home to some place or time remember that home isn't behind you it's something you carry so
[36:32] please carry forward and appreciate all that you've gone through at Woodbury High School because in the words of
[36:38] Ellie D Carl thanks for the adventure now go have a new one
[36:52] what Noah said is true you won't be able to grow by living trying to live in the past but as you look towards your future
[36:58] your envisioned path may be a little different from reality looking at the news or online to celebrities athletes
[37:05] or even tech company founders it's easy to hear and know about all the success that they've had in their careers but if
[37:11] you only know this you won't know the full story of these people or even half of it reality is that excellence takes
[37:18] time and perfection is only achieved through trial and many many errors so as
[37:24] the last person speaking of us four today I want to end by saying something you all need to hear even you little
[37:31] siblings dragged here by your families keep failing whether it's in your math
[37:36] class or your new job keep having the guts to fail it truly is the most important lesson that you can learn take
[37:43] Finding Nemo for example a Disney movie about a fish trying to find his son when
[37:48] Marlin loses Nemo he tries anything and everything to get him back tumbling himself into situations like facing a
[37:55] bloodthirsty shark or being surrounded by a swarm of deadly jellyfish but through his tribulations Marlin takes
[38:02] the advice of his memory impaired friend Dory and just keeps swimming eventually
[38:08] his relentless spirit and unbroken faith in his pathf finding skills helps him succeed to find Nemo now an animated kid
[38:16] story about a clown fish might not resonate with you but the message is what you should take away just keep
[38:22] swimming what does this really mean though it means when you're at your lowest broken down by life find the
[38:28] drive for one more day when you failed the test when you got rejected when you're completely stuck keep trying and
[38:36] keep failing that's because failure isn't the end of a story it's the start of a lesson each failure you come across
[38:44] think of something that you can do to improve whether that's showing your work on a test improving your resume or
[38:50] setting your alarm 15 minutes earlier whatever it may be if you have the discipline and determination to learn
[38:57] from your mistakes and to keep trying even though you may fail there will be light at the end of the tunnel for some
[39:03] this may be a mile away and others inches what matters is that there's
[39:09] always hope if you're brave enough to fail so please class of 2025 if I can
[39:14] leave you tonight with one message is that if and when you fail in life just keep swimming thank you
[39:21] [Applause]
[39:40] this year Woodbury High School is privileged to welcome Mr gary Diamond as our honor staff speaker selected by the
[39:47] class of 2025 mr diamond
[39:52] [Applause]
[40:04] [Applause]
[40:14] i got my own walk up song i love it all right good evening and welcome
[40:20] staff family and friends together we have supported these incredible students
[40:26] who sit before us i want to acknowledge this occasion as today marks the 50th
[40:32] commencement for Wood Whitbury High School however I must mention that 49
[40:37] proud classes have come before you yet your class will leave a legacy
[40:45] of achievement so great it is fitting for me to begin ladies and gentlemen get
[40:51] your hands together class of 2025 is in the
[40:56] house
[41:05] before I begin to share you some advice I need to share the story how I am
[41:10] nervously standing up here before you on stage tonight alex Alex Miller where are you
[41:18] alex Miller okay oh there he is thank you sir
[41:24] all right so Alex Miller you can thank him in at your five-year reunion or you can give him a
[41:31] hard time anyways Alex came to me and asked me um comes flying into my office
[41:38] he goes "Hey GD I got a great opportunity for you as part of the staff commencement
[41:45] speaker we would like you to be our guest speaker." I said "Bro what?"
[41:52] I said "Yes parents I do use the word bro because they understand that." Just
[41:57] like "Hey KG what's up bro?" Anyways Alex continued with the
[42:04] selling point which includes "Hey I know I know you're close to retiring i know
[42:10] how much you love our class and so this would be a great way to send us off."
[42:17] Once again I said "Bro I'm going to need 24 hours to think about that is that okay?" And Alex comes back and says "Hey
[42:25] this opportunity is slipping away from you you got 24 hours to let me know." I
[42:31] said "Okay." So later I went home to my wife and I shared the news and I said
[42:37] "You won't believe what they want me to do to be the guest speaker at their graduation." My wife goes "Do
[42:44] it." I said "What are you crazy there's all these people you're going to be standing in front i can't do that." She
[42:50] goes "Do it." And I should have known because my wife has a special heart for a lot of you because you went to
[42:56] Woodbury Elementary she thinks the world of you so the next day I went to a morning
[43:03] workout so I can clear my mind think about what I'm going to do i come home and my wife meets me at the door she
[43:10] grabs me very tightly by the cheeks and pulls me in and says "Do it
[43:17] and I said "I just don't know if I can do it." So anyways so I I still unsure what
[43:23] I'm going to do i got to school and I went to Bobby Nun and I'm Bobby Nun i
[43:28] said "Tell me tell me about this graduation speech and um you're
[43:36] it you seem like a logical choice." He then proceeded to tell me everything that Alex said and then he ends it with
[43:44] you can cross it off your bucket list here's my bucket
[43:52] list drive to the Florida Keys thank you Tatum for that visit New York walk the
[43:59] beaches of Normandy visit every Big 10 football go on Alaskan cruise bobby
[44:06] there is no commencement speech on my bucket
[44:14] list however I thought about it and if I don't do
[44:19] this what kind of message am I sending you seniors when life gets tough run away
[44:27] when it's too hard stop when you can't make it just avoid
[44:32] doing it so as much as I'm terrified about being in here I thought to myself I'm going to
[44:39] do this and so here I am this
[44:53] experience this experience over the last three weeks have given me three really
[44:58] good lessons I've taken away and the very first lesson I have is don't back
[45:03] down gets tough dig in the second lesson I have is show people you care and let
[45:12] them know how important they are in your life and the third thing I took away from this is never stop learning because
[45:20] you will struggle but is how you respond that builds character the first lesson don't back
[45:27] down when things get tough but dig in honestly if you don't know this yet
[45:32] buckle up the world does not get any easier as you get
[45:38] older life beyond high school I can say with certainty gets tougher as one day you will be asked to
[45:46] do hard things to go somewhere where you don't want to go to do something that
[45:51] you don't want to do to meet a bed a deadline because your
[45:57] boss needs it by the next day and it's really unrealistic and it can go on and
[46:03] on and on in other words you're going to be busy and some of the things will be
[46:08] hard and at times you may feel overwhelmed but I need you to dig in and
[46:14] don't back down when you do hard things you develop necessary skills needed to
[46:20] be successful in life it is through our most difficult moments in life that growth happens at
[46:28] its greatest pace after all the goal in life is to become
[46:33] good at digging in decision by decision choice by choice all without beating
[46:40] yourself up in the process the second lesson came to me is
[46:46] show people you care and how important they are in your life seniors if I had
[46:52] to guess I've had about a third of you in my FIAD classes some of you I've coached in v
[46:59] sports and probably all of you I've had in my health classes so while I
[47:04] struggled to decide on whether to give tonight's speech I recognized the
[47:10] opportunity I had before me to let you know how much you made a difference at Woodbury High School
[47:17] you tolerated years four years of making and asking those me asking those silly
[47:24] icebreaker questions where we go around the room say your name and then the answer to that question if you didn't
[47:32] know this was my way of connecting a name with the face so I can
[47:37] touch and talk with you later these activities brought me joy
[47:42] and gave me energy to be my best and you made a difference to me honestly in the
[47:49] real world I know you won't expect to do icebreaker questions at everything but you will
[47:56] find out that intentionally getting to know people is essential part of caring
[48:03] for people after all having good relationships with people are key to
[48:10] being happy and thriving during tough times seniors in a small way I hope I showed
[48:17] you how much how important you are to me through all these class events in addition the number of times I've sat in
[48:24] the stands watched you on the pitch the ball fields the courts the track i've
[48:31] listened to many of you sing playing the band your adventures of getting your
[48:38] pilot's license i listened to how work is going looked at your prom
[48:44] pictures finally listened to many of you share your plans after high school has been
[48:50] exciting you shared a personal side of your life and I appreciate that i am so
[48:57] thankful you have cared for me by letting me share my stories of my family
[49:02] some of you also laughed at my attempts at jokes having said that seniors I strongly
[49:09] encourage you to intentionally practice kindness and care for
[49:17] people build those relationships in your personal and professional
[49:23] lives demonstrating that you care is not just a character trait to live by but a
[49:28] powerful tool for building a better world remember caring for people can
[49:34] create positive change increase overall happiness and fosters empathy which we
[49:41] need more of in this world which brings me to my final lesson
[49:47] never stop learning here I am today i'm never stop learning i'm giving this speech today today this graduation is an
[49:55] epic time of your life but I'm sure you've heard it before and you'll probably hear it again
[50:02] but high school graduation is indeed not the end of learning but rather a new beginning of your life i strongly
[50:10] encourage you to continue to embrace curiosity seek new knowledge and remain
[50:16] open to new perspectives stay engaged in learning and seek out those activities that bring
[50:22] you joy and yes it's okay to move out of your comfort zone growth doesn't happen
[50:28] without discomfort as this is where development starts you can do whatever you want in
[50:34] life as long as you are willing to keep working keep challenging yourself to do
[50:41] better and be better my final thoughts on learning is
[50:46] that don't compare yourself with others as you are not on their path you are on
[50:52] your own path and just because their next step is already visible to them doesn't mean anything about your next
[50:59] step and it certainly doesn't mean it's any better or it's not going to necessarily
[51:05] be the right path for you in closing I hope you understand what I
[51:11] said tonight don't back down when it gets tough i want you to dig in care for
[51:19] people people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care
[51:26] and then never stop learning we grow by our experiences and greater growth comes
[51:31] how we respond to our struggles seniors I hope you truly understand these three lessons I shared
[51:39] tonight and it will lead you to a happier and more fulfilling life
[51:46] well I know I've been going on a little bit long i'm I'm almost
[51:52] done amaya so I had some guidelines amaya said "You can be
[52:00] funny you can be funny but I want you to be serious." And so I hope I was a little
[52:07] bit funny but I was serious but she said "You need to end it with a quote." So here's a quote that's been
[52:14] with me since 1997 it's something that I live by it's something that I believe in
[52:20] it's by Zigg Ziggler a motivational speaker this hangs in my office on my locker
[52:26] if there is hope in the future there is power in the
[52:32] present so class of 2025 I wish you all the best you have
[52:40] left your legacy at Woodbury High School we everybody supporting you all know
[52:48] that there's hope for the future because there is power in the present of you
[52:55] so thank you [Applause]
[53:15] 2025 the music's still playing all right thank you Mr diamond
[53:22] our final speakers today were selected by their peers to represent the class of
[53:27] 2025 at this time I would like to introduce Valentina Ritzo followed by
[53:34] Tenzen Dundoop come on up Valentina [Applause]
[53:55] hi everyone my name is Valentina Rzo before I say anything else it's
[54:00] pronounced Ritzo even though I know a lot of you like to say Rizzo at this point I'm not even sure if it's because
[54:06] you don't know the proper pronunciation or if it's because you think I have RZ either way I'll take it welcome to the
[54:13] graduation of 2025 i'm honored to be up here speaking to you as we say goodbye
[54:18] to this major stage of our lives and step into the next chapter first off a huge thank you for
[54:25] letting me present my speech today it means so much especially after I heard I got the role solely based off
[54:32] looks now high school was definitely a journey i know we all learned a lot but
[54:38] not necessarily what the teachers hoped we learned personally I discovered how much more a bathroom is capable of than
[54:45] just the basics i'm honestly too traumatized to repeat what's happened behind those walls and I'm sure most of
[54:51] you know exactly what I'm speaking about that bar stool too taught us more than
[54:56] we probably like to know about people at this school but in a weird way the chaos made high school even more
[55:03] memorable our class started with fun and definitely ended with it i remember spending our middle school days hanging
[55:10] out behind the bleachers during football games to now having attended our last game as a student last fall that middle
[55:17] school bleacher tradition has since been banned and I like to think that we shut it down because of all the fun we
[55:24] had and of course the prison of a school we had to put up with for the past four years conveniently is getting renovated
[55:30] right as we leave which doesn't seem to be much of a coincidence but we can save that discussion for later
[55:38] also huge shout out to the senior group chat that thing was a disaster no decisions were made literally ever and
[55:45] people were constantly beefing but here we are so I guess it worked out in the end today we are officially closing out
[55:52] our childhood by receiving our diplomas we'll snap some pictures give hugs goodbye and then it's over done but I'm
[56:00] not here to just say how proud I am that we made it more that we're here to mark the beginning of what is to come
[56:06] leaving here today realize that you are in control you are the only one that can set yourself up for success and now is
[56:13] the perfect time don't put too much pressure on yourself but every day do just one thing that betters you be proud
[56:20] of what you've accomplished but don't get too comfortable celebrate the wins but then go chase the next one i'm aware
[56:27] that this day looks different for everyone for some of us it's exciting for others it's terrifying and for some
[56:33] of you you're just looking for all the grad parties now let's address what some of you really know me for the girl who
[56:41] brought weird food to school from suspicious tin foil I carried with me all day to cheese containers filled with
[56:47] three pounds of pasta I definitely left a scent trail through the hallways i probably need to invest in a lunch box
[56:54] and maybe some boundaries like specifically not bringing an octopus tentacle to class and playing with it or
[56:59] cracking open a can of sardines the first week of high school but one thing that won't change is doing things for
[57:05] myself and I recommend you all to do the same stop worrying about what those around you think because in the grand
[57:12] scheme of things it doesn't matter life is not that serious we're here to have fun and leave a positive impact your
[57:19] future is destined to be so much brighter if you are confident even if you have to fake it at first that being
[57:25] said I would advise staying a little less confident than me at the end of the day you will not regret being yourself
[57:33] and the only thing is you might regret not say what you want to say but being
[57:38] embarrassed is just a mindset as we leave today it really puts into perspective how little so many things
[57:44] mean yes it's uncomfortable to see cringy pictures from middle school but it's honestly cool to see how much
[57:49] you've grown ultimately no one's going to remember and no one cares that much in the first place mentioning
[57:55] embarrassing moments you know what i made it through high school a perfect record not of attendance or straight A's
[58:02] screw you AP World but screaming every single time the fire alarm went off pro
[58:07] tip 9th grade Valentina it never gets any less scary but let's be real that thing is terrifying and honestly if
[58:14] there was a crisis we'd all be running for our lives that protocol out of the window sorry teachers overall high
[58:22] school brought tons of memories some good some bad but they all add together to leave us here with something from
[58:30] anything but a backpack day where someone literally carried a microwave through the hallways to having people
[58:35] pretend to be your best friend just to stab you in the back and cut in the lunch line the worst part when they have
[58:42] the audacity to come cut in front of you too like no no that's where I draw the line and to those people who know me you
[58:48] may have thought I had mafia ties just because I'm Italian but trust me I don't if I did I would have handled those
[58:55] lunch line cutters real quick on that matter drop all the dumb grudges you have against people because it's not
[59:01] worth it anymore when we're at reunions in like 30 years don't be the person still avoiding someone because of
[59:07] something that happened in 10th grade let it go it's definitely not worth carrying into your next chapter as
[59:13] Booker T washington once said "Holding a grudge does not hurt the person against whom the grudge is held it hurts the one
[59:20] who holds it." What specifically makes this goodbye feel so different isn't the fact that we'll never see each other
[59:26] again it's the fact that you won't see each other every day at high school it's the people you pass in the hall that you
[59:32] won't think to reach out to or the random laughs with the teacher you never had during the past four years we've
[59:38] seen people on their best and worst days and have been able to comfort and/or celebrate our peers we've grown up
[59:44] together and that's something that no one can ever take away no matter where life takes us a part of me will always
[59:50] be rooting for each and every single one of you as we prepare to walk across this stage that diploma might feel like a
[59:56] piece of paper but it marks a new beginning a blank page so go after your
[1:00:01] dreams don't wait and don't be afraid to try and if doing it for yourself seems too big right now do it for the little
[1:00:08] 5-year-old version of yourself who dreamt without limits and thought anything was possible make them proud
[1:00:15] you'll never regret working hard for the future you love this isn't just a farewell to high school it's a hello to
[1:00:21] whatever comes next and that part you get to create it yourself thank you
[1:00:26] Woodbury High School and thank you class of 2025 don't let the future hold you back i love you all
[1:00:33] [Applause]
[1:00:57] oopsies got to make sure y'all can hear me you
[1:01:07] know why are we graduating on a Monday
[1:01:15] [Applause]
[1:01:25] 700 p.m we couldn't have chosen a better
[1:01:32] time i've got limited time with this i know you're happy i'm happy so let's
[1:01:37] just get through it grab our diplomas and we can all go back home and act like we miss high school
[1:01:48] my name is Tenzen Dundup i'm a first generation Tibetan American a child of
[1:01:54] immigrants who came here with almost nothing hoping to give me a future they never had
[1:02:01] [Applause]
[1:02:12] and yes I did show up to graduation on time even though I always show up late
[1:02:18] to my AP Bio class well all my classes
[1:02:25] actually it's an honor to be up here mostly because it means I didn't
[1:02:31] fail Mr steel's chemistry class i know some of y'all can
[1:02:40] relate i want to welcome ladies and gentlemen faculty and staff honored
[1:02:46] teachers honored guests regular
[1:02:53] guests and the strangers who are listening to me speak today and
[1:03:04] And most importantly let's give a round of applause to the class of 2025 graduate let's
[1:03:12] [Applause]
[1:03:20] go got to make sure I look good on camera you know
[1:03:25] okay before I start the
[1:03:36] speech I want to start off with a quote okay
[1:03:43] the only limits in life are the ones you set
[1:03:53] yourself as a large language model chat GBT can help with your graduation speech quest
[1:04:05] okay but seriously I want to give a shout out to my parents and my family my best friend
[1:04:13] Miles Odilia my six-hour crew my close friends
[1:04:18] in BSU and my AP BioFam
[1:04:25] see I remember when I was watching Batman for the first time and the way he was fighting and
[1:04:31] using all his cool gadgets i turned to my mom and said "I want to be just like that when I grow
[1:04:38] up." Man you should have seen the way she was looking at me she said "Wake up Tenzen you graduate in three days."
[1:04:54] So maybe I won't be Batman but I will be something we all
[1:05:01] will we don't need capes we've got caps and
[1:05:09] gowns this class the class of 2025 has been one of the most historic moments in
[1:05:15] high school history because the class of 2025 has the largest ever group of
[1:05:20] students graduating make some
[1:05:25] [Applause]
[1:05:31] noise and then every class after that is just going to slowly
[1:05:39] decline the class of 2025 is built
[1:05:45] different let me repeat that the class of 2025 is built different
[1:05:58] we'll have achieved big things but my biggest achievement was learning how to drive because I swear some of y'all
[1:06:06] cannot drive in the senior parking lot i mean who's parked in the senior
[1:06:12] parking lot and then after class they come out and their car has been hit i
[1:06:19] have sorry Mom
[1:06:24] i mean we have stop signs that are optional
[1:06:35] apparently but let me tell you this graduation isn't just about the end
[1:06:41] of something it's about stepping into the
[1:06:46] unknown some of us are going to the military some of us are going to take a gap year or go straight to
[1:06:53] work the point is we're all stepping into something we're not used
[1:06:59] to it's in moments like these I aspire to be successful someone who has persevered through failure someone who
[1:07:06] has worked for their success someone like my mom and my
[1:07:12] dad a famous actor Denzel Washington i'm sure you heard of him he gave a commencement speech at the
[1:07:19] University of Pennsylvania he said "If you don't fail
[1:07:24] you're not even trying." I'll say it again "if you don't fail you're not even trying." And
[1:07:31] there's a great expression to go along with it he said "To get something you never had you have to do something you
[1:07:38] never did." Les Brown's a motivational speaker he made a great analogy with this
[1:07:45] he said "Imagine you're on your deathbed and standing around your bed are the ghosts representing your unfulfilled
[1:07:52] potential the ghosts of the ideas you never acted on the talents you never used and they're standing there looking
[1:07:58] at you angry disappointed and upset they say "We came to you because we thought
[1:08:04] you could have brought us to life and now we have to go to the grave with you."
[1:08:11] So I ask you today not just students but parents as well how many ghosts are going to be
[1:08:18] around your bed when your time
[1:08:23] comes so fall forward fail big try things even if you're scared because
[1:08:30] progress doesn't happen without mistakes let me say that again progress
[1:08:36] does not happen without mistakes
[1:08:43] to a quote that sums it up as a great philosopher and street poet Drake once
[1:08:55] said as the great philosopher and street poet Drake once
[1:09:00] said started from the bottom now we're here
[1:09:11] from not knowing where any of our classes were to sitting here
[1:09:16] graduating i'm grateful to be standing up here but I want you to know
[1:09:22] something i'm not up here because I'm the smartest or the most athletic or the
[1:09:27] most popular i don't have a perfect GPA i damn sure ain't no valid Victorian
[1:09:38] the truth is I'm just like you because behind every cap in this
[1:09:44] room there's a story a quiet battle a moment where someone could have given up but
[1:09:50] didn't some of us lost people we love some of us struggled with things no
[1:09:55] one saw some of us had problems inside our own home and some of us had to grow up
[1:10:02] way too damn fast but despite all of it we made
[1:10:08] it not because it was easy cuz it was not but because we didn't give
[1:10:15] up we chose to believe in something better even on the hard
[1:10:22] days we are not just the future we're living proof that strength
[1:10:29] isn't always loud sometimes sometimes strength is
[1:10:38] silence it's just getting through the day it's choosing to try again
[1:10:46] tomorrow you want proof of our strength let me say this again we're not
[1:10:52] just any class we're the largest graduating class in history with 3.9
[1:10:57] million students walking across stages like this all over the country
[1:11:03] so when we rise up it's not just one of us it's
[1:11:12] [Applause]
[1:11:18] millions so to the class of 2025 go chase those dreams that scare
[1:11:24] you go become who you were always meant to be because you've already proven to this
[1:11:30] world you are more than enough and rise up and show the world
[1:11:36] who we are so from the bottom of my heart thank you for letting me share this moment
[1:11:41] with you to the class of 2025 I appreciate you all tens out
[1:11:50] [Applause]
[1:12:03] and the most important thing if you're a parent or a family
[1:12:09] member of the class of 2025 graduate can you please stand up let's make some noise come on now can
[1:12:16] you please stand up [Applause]

[1:12:43] literally okay [Applause]
