00:17good evening class of 2010 before I
00:20commenced my speech I would first like
00:22to thank my family especially my aunt
00:25and uncle who came down from California
00:27and my grandparents who flew from
00:30halfway around the world I also like to
00:33thank my friends and my academic
00:34adjudicators without any of you I would
00:37not be where I am today thank you
00:39because without your help I would not
00:42have been given this chance to represent
00:44the class with a lengthy speech
00:46comprised of highly personal anecdotes a
00:49chance I now plan to take full advantage
00:51of now I realize that some of you do not
00:57care if I'm what I'm about to say so
00:59I invited Nathan Turner up here to
01:01enhance this experience with some mood
01:03setting music some mood setting music
01:17they should accommodate your ears so
01:19that as you get bored and so on in and
01:21out of listening to my speech all you'll
01:23be able to hear is the soothing sound of
01:25the guitar okay so to start I show you
01:31the beginning of freshman year I believe
01:35this Rubik's Cube is represents our
01:37freshman year very well because our
01:38freshman year was a puzzle it wasn't too
01:41long ago when the puzzle of entering
01:42high school course presented before you
01:44and most of us were nervous anxious or
01:47scared and questions like how am I going
01:50to fit in filled our heads and we became
01:52more concerned with what we wore and he
01:54we hung out with and less concerned
01:56about who has more pokemon cards I don't
02:00know about that one it was a puzzle
02:03because just like the Rubik's Cube you
02:05can turn it around you just can't turn
02:08it around in any unplanned direction
02:09otherwise it's just gonna get more mixed
02:12up so you have to start matching colors
02:15you have to know what's going on where
02:18who's dating who and by the time
02:22freshman year is almost over
02:23you almost you've solved part of your
02:26Rubik's Cube you still have a long way
02:30sophomore year was kind of a blur hold
02:48okay that works now sophomore year was
02:51kind of a blur you not know what's going
02:53on in high school but you're still in
02:55underclassmen so you there's not nothing
02:57much going on time pass quickly and
03:00everything was drowned out by the
03:02freshman swine and the upperclassmen
03:05Authority so when we piece all the parts
03:09of sophomore year together creates a
03:11rather hazy fragmented memory that kind
03:23then he just tried to trying all over
03:25the place so I did what anyone else
03:30and I was already late and my pants were
03:32still not dry so I decided to get
03:48and thus we coast through sophomore year
03:50leaving ourselves to wonder what really
03:52happened yet we managed to saw more of
03:55the Rubik's Cube and then junior year
04:04there finally an upperclassman home you
04:07are now entitled to a lot more power to
04:09influence the school you are becoming
04:12more of a leader than a follower but you
04:13soon realize that you just get too much
04:15harder from here more AP classes are
04:18available the IB program begins coaches
04:21rely on you more underclassmen begin to
04:24and you're finally allowed to go to prom
04:27it's all fun until you begin to realize
04:30what the responsible the responsibility
04:32that's been given to you you have to be
04:34careful what you do because any wrong
04:36move can send you back to square one
04:38every move you make has to be just right
04:41so that the last year in high school
04:43will be simple now if you've set it up
04:51right senior year wouldn't be as
04:53complicated as your previous three
04:55because most of you don't even have a
04:57fourth period but there is one thing one
05:00important thing that you need to get out
05:02of the way before you leave and I think
05:04I can best describe this through the
05:06words of Blanche jabber so imagine that
05:10you're a single guy and you decide that
05:12it's time to start thinking about
05:14getting married but you're still young
05:16you don't want to rush into anything
05:17so I spent years trying to find the
05:19perfect girl every chance you get you
05:22travel all over the country just to try
05:23and meet new people some you like more
05:25than others some are too nerdy while
05:27others party too much but finally
05:30after all your searching you think you
05:32find the perfect one
05:33oh she's incredible she's fun smart sexy
05:39everything you wanted on a woman and you
05:41decide to propose but you only get one
05:44shot and you can't screw it up so you
05:46spend months agonizing on how you're
05:47gonna do it what you're gonna say to her
05:49you set a deadline for yourself so that
05:51you can't put it off forever and that's
05:53the deadline of boat approaches you
05:55begin to get nervous are you good enough
05:58oh it feels as though everything you've
06:01been doing your life has been leading up
06:03finally the deadline is here yo your sir
06:07nervous she's way out of your league
06:09mister ring big enough how many mistakes
06:11have you made so far is it too late to
06:13go back then it's over you've submitted
06:18your proposal and there's nothing more
06:20you can do she looks at you and she says
06:26mmm let me get let me get back to you in
06:28like four months that's pretty much what
06:32applying to college is like and you know
06:36what she'll probably say no but guess
06:38what you didn't tell her you proposed to
06:40a bunch of backup chicks just in taste
06:45they're all begging to come marry you
06:47instead well now that college is just
06:52around the corner all you have to do is
06:54just turn those few sides one second and
07:04you finally saw your Excuse so now it's
07:13time to say goodbye to high school and
07:16say hello to college
07:23so now that we're done with high school
07:25it's time to look ahead into the future
07:27a few years from now we're going to look
07:30back at these high school years and talk
07:32about our accomplishments and all the
07:33ridiculous things we've had to do we'll
07:37all probably laugh about all the stuff
07:39we've done and said while we were still
07:42in high school and then just remember
07:46you gotta just remember as we go on we
07:52remember all the times we had together
07:59and as our lives change from whatever we
08:07will still be friends forever yeah
08:32the only thing left to say now is
