Thank you all for your time, your support, and everything you do for this.

I remember constantly wanting to grow up and be older than what I was. But these four years of my life made me realize so much more about not only others, but most importantly myself. This journey has definitely changed me in ways I cannot describe. I started to take care of myself more and truly prioritize things dedicated to my future. I also realized that I really love to socialize. I came out of my shell and became my genuine self around people. I believe this is truly a gift that my high school experience has given me. And I've met so many people that I can call friends for life, especially the ones over there. If the person I was four years ago heard me say that, she would definitely not believe me. I discovered the confidence to take chances and even risks. I came across a difficult decision during my junior year.

The next test, applying for a job, Saturday night plans, and the next steps after graduation. But in doing that, we sometimes forget to appreciate where we are in the moment. So, as I stand here today, I want to remind all of us to slow down. Take in the little moments. The conversations walking to class, the laughter with the friends at your lunch table, and the memories we didn't even realize we were making at the time. Because one day, these will all be moments that we miss the most. As we move forward, we are all heading in different directions and chasing different dreams. And while the future is exciting, don't rush through it. Be present, take chances, make mistakes, and appreciate every step along the way. Take a moment to be proud of how far you've come. You don't have to have everything figured out right now, but just be willing to keep moving forward.

And there were other schools that were like I lived in some apartments next to Neal Dow and and the evening times or just just after hours or on weekends I would go to Neal Dow and I would play in the field and I'd play in the playgrounds, we'd use the basketball courts and I would meet other kids there. And uh and I can't think of a school that I ever went to that I didn't return to after hours. And and it hasn't it I've I've noticed that every single school that I went to now is locked off after hours. Um and even just recently I lived in Hobart Street when I was elected to City Council and and I didn't really have much of a yard um and the the last place I could see the sunset and then the crows and the bluebirds and the starlings was at Chico High um and it's since I've been elected that there's been a fence that has cut that off access to that.
