002we all deserve a lollipop from shocks whether you're like me and you've been here since kindergarten or joined us only a few years ago it has been amazing to watch everyone become the people they are today I have no doubt that good things are coming for each and every one of us and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future this kind of goodbye can be Bittersweet especially since none of us many of us are going several ways in high school but someone should tell me don't be sad it's over be happy it happens so I can so I hope we can all leave because this ending is a new beginning thank you and I wish you the best of luck [Applause] good evening family friends faculty and guests my name is
003Emily Omen and I'm the salutatorian of the Brielle Elementary class of 2023 . since so much of what Steve Jobs created is part of our daily lives I want to share one of his famous quotes as we take the next steps forward in our academic don't let the noise of others opinions drown out your own as we all head in different directions next September I want to share the idea of being yourself whether that means playing a new sport exploring culture groups taking up an instrument doing volunteer work taking part in a school play or joining the course the four years are ours to explore learn and figure out what makes each of us who we are and maybe even what we want to be when we get older I know sometimes it can be
004hard we have all had those moments even here at Brielle where we feel most comfortable and safe when we've been to what other people are doing or saying because it feels easier than speaking our minds but is it easier I don't think so especially seeing you doesn't match what most people are doing or saying staying true yourself is always the answer I remember first coming to Brielle when I was just five years old and starting kindergarten in a new unfamiliar town here in Brielle I've made friends and learned many valuable life lessons and I know everyone else has to I believe that having a mentor in life is crucial to success having a person you can always count on the turn to can help you thrive in your career personally I would have to say
005my parents were my biggest mentions personally my dad is my mentor for soccer well my mom is my mentor in academics both my parents have helped me through getting into Communications and for that I am thankful and I guess I can't forget about my sister who is someone who I tend to have ups and downs with but always will have my back no matter what as we look forward to going into our high schools I know our parents teachers and administrators will be proud of us I know they have given us the road map to being our own unique selves and have instilled in us the importance of respecting other kids and their own path forward I'm really proud of us all we have all worked incredibly hard and deserved to have greatness come into
006our lives I know we are off to do great things who knows maybe the next Steve Jobs is among us but one thing I do know each of us will bring a special gift Talent idea or thought forward that will make this world a better place to the Brielle Elementary class of 2023 remember always dare to dream and never forget to be the best you thank you and good luck to everyone in high school [Applause] thank you good evening my name is Cecilia Scaris and I'm the valedictorian of the class of 2023 when I sat down to write this speech I initially struggled with what I wanted to say one message I wanted to leave with my classmates as we close our chapter at Brielle Elementary and head to high school I then thought of
007the Ed Sheeran concert I went to last weekend you might be wondering why is she talking about Ed Sheeran her graduation speech but he said something that really stood out to me he shared how a man once asked him what's the best song you ever wrote and his answer was I haven't written it yet I stand before you today with the realization that while we are closing an important chapter in our lives our future is a blank slate the best of our story has yet to be written I would like to take a moment to remember and honor this first chapter in our narrative most of us have spent eight full years at Brielle Elementary School and others have joined along the way we have seen the same faces every day and experience both highs
008and lows together throughout our journey at Brielle we have grown not only physically but intellectually I went from learning the alphabet and Miss Max kindergarten class to being able to write a research analysis tasks with Miss silver I first learned basic Edition and usually they learned how to factor quadratic equations and use the Pythagorean theorem with missile May at this point I think we can all agree that Nails on the chalkboard would sound more appealing than hearing a teacher announce it's time to take I ready once again but we balance it out with fun activities like field days and valuable Blazer events along it's hard to believe we just finished our eighth grade year where perform wraps about American history in Mr furcado's class and presented our science fair projects for Miss carton Mark cardamom
009and I know I will always remember hearing the funny stories from our favorite lunch lady this month as we've grown along the way there have been many challenges we had to face we survived the pandemic and those crazy months of virtual learning we wore Mass to school and even forgot what each other looked like we experience changes in friendships and learned a lot about ourselves in the process we were all one small scared kindergarteners and have evolved into mature eighth graders some of us more mature than others but we've grown up together class of 2023 all these memories are part of the first chapter in our story we now need to take our Collective experiences and knowledge we have learned at Brielle to face and while I am excited about this next step I sure
010am scared about the unknown how we approach that next step is up to us so go out find your passion and what excites you and follow that to the end we all have something to offer this world always be compassionate and kind as you find your path to success in this crazy world I want everyone in this room to remember that your future is a blank page your best song is still not written congratulations class of 2023. you did it [Applause] foreign [Music] so much [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] this is [Music] [Applause] yesterday thank you [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] [Applause] but I retired in January and I'm so glad that Mr Russo has asked me to speak tonight about this amazing class I got here they weren't even born and they have
