008will have in life this will be one we'll never forget as we really are all in this together from having school staring at our screens during a global pandemic to actually getting to go to school and meeting some our best friends to all of our sleepless nights and to now sitting together anticipating our next steps celebrating this huge accomplishment not knowing everything that is ahead of us I can't wait to see what the future holds for all of you I wish you all the best of luck in all your future endeavors once again congratulations hello class of 2024 my name is VNA Cruz some of you may know me as as the twin who youve probably seen around school because we are twins I obviously have to give them same recognition my twin deserves and
009who totally did not beg me to be mentioned in this speech but J's aside she is an amazing person and my best friend that has supported me throughout my whole life thank you annaise high school is a chapter many will believe to be the most memorable as here is where we met amazing people that we may or may not still be connected after today high school was also where it tested our patients limits and goals I still remember hopping into my first Zoom meeting as a freshman and thinking that I still have a long way to go looking back I wonder how I was able to pursue and accomplish such a high achievement the only answer can be perseverance and commitment like many can relate I experence experienced many breakdowns sitb backs sleepless nights however
010it was all worth it at the end I like to first thank God for giving me strength and provision my family for believing in me when I didn't and lastly my friends for making this journey less stressful and full of fun now as we start a new chapter into adulthood I hope in whatever path you take whether it's College trade school the workforce or the military we continue to pursue our goals and live a lifestyle of constant Improvement and achievement thank you and congratulations to the class of [Applause] 2024 hello as you've all heard before my name is Jasmine throughout my time in high school I've had amazing people who have been there for me and made me the person I am on this stage right now I have two amazing parents who constantly push
011me to work hard and find the light at the end of the tunnel they are the reason I am here not only just graduating but as the student body president and top 1% of my class to both of my siblings Cynthia and Sergio who are drastically different people and have allowed me to experience so many things and go to so many places thank you for also letting me steal your music taste to my best friends Ashley and Diana who I could cannot imagine a world where we aren't together I have two PE teachers in particular who pushed me forward and made me realize my own potential Mr Johnston and Mrs Anderson thank you Mr Johnston for not only making an AP class fun but also letting me rant through to you all throughout my junior
012year if anyone knows me personally you know I love to talk especially so it's especially nice to have someone who just lets you say everything that's on your mind to Mrs Anderson who was the first teacher I ever met at aoll and my amazing student council adviser you have seen me through so many stages in my life and helped me grow so much as a person I never thought I could be student body president but you helped me realize that hard work always pays off in the end to the class of 2024 we have finally reached the moment we've all been thinking about since our first day of kindergarten 2024 felt like a very distant time to my 5-year-old self especially since I could not yet count seeing my teacher put up the welcome of
013class of 202 before up on our whiteboard made me think that this day would never come and it would feel like an eternity now we are all here in the same place sharing the same memory though all our experiences from kindergarten to now are drastically different we stand here in this Arena celebrating not only ourselves but also one another I have no doubt in my mind that each and every one of you will make some sort of impact in the world for now though we're done good evening good evening everybody my name is Ashley Hernandez and as as as a Hispanic first generation woman it is an honor to represent our graduating class of 2024 I'd like to start by saying how I'm incredibly proud of every individual who is sitting here today we all
014have our own stories that words can't possibly describe just like me I believe that many of us still feel like the graders who had a quote unquote extended break but now with our diploma soon to be in our hands it is a surreal feeling to know that we are venturing on to our own separate past we are the future for some it is nerve-wracking for others it can feel freeing and for many people like me it is a midst of both no matter what we have chosen for that path we will all make our impact in life I'm sure of it I'm sure that the memories we have created throughout our high school career will remain dear to us and as we turn our heads we can see the people who have made this accomplishment
015possible I cannot end this before I give my thanks to those people I'm sure you guys know who you are thank you to all my friends who have filled my high school life with plenty of happiness and laughter thank you to my forever girl Denise who has the purest heart and never made me doubt my worth thank you to my sister Siri for always supporting me in your own special way and being the person who I can always turn to thank you thank you thank you to everyone once again congratulations class of 2024 from the core of my heart I wish every one of us luck and like my family has always said c it's a lot of people okay good afternoon to the teachers classmates parents and honored guests here tonight my name is
