008been told high school is going to fly by every time I was told this I rushed it off saying I have time as I stand here today looking into this crowd filled with Brilliance and accomplished individuals I realized that I could not have been more wrong about time today is something that we have dreamed of something we've only been able to fantasize about until now 10 year old us thought of high school graduation day and felt that it was so far away yet here we are in that very moment we dreamed of today like a glimmering gold trophy we've strived to obtain working through deadlines in difficult classes struggling with extracurriculars and clubs all the wild devoting time to our friends family and ourselves is finally in our hands we did it so what's next
009we're always asked what our plan is what it is we want to do in the future the signature question of what do you want to be when you grow up it seemed like such a simple question answering with I want to be a doctor a police officer an astronaut we have worked tirelessly and devoted countless hours to meet the expectations placed upon us we dreamed that we would walk across this stage and we would know all the answers because to our younger selves this moment symbolized adulthood wisdom and freedom now as we actually walk today many of us aren't going to be as sure about the future as we envisioned but the truth is we don't know what's going to happen in the future we spend so much time worrying about what will be and
010about tomorrow as we make our way through this fast-paced world many become blind to the moment and to the things right in front of us consumed by our own goals and ambitions when you reminisce about high school it's going to be the experiences that you think of those times where you laughed with your friends until you couldn't breathe or those late night drives were you all belted out to your favorite song those times where you thought I wish I could be here forever well remember the laughter the love and the friendships that supported us throughout High School even now we are surrounded by people that love and support us in the sea of green and up there on the stands I want to thank everyone out here today you have contributed mentally to our lives
011and we are grateful to you so as we move on to pursue our desires and dreams do not forget those moments of joy that make life worth living remember to stop and appreciate the people around you the meaningful connections you have created strive to find beauty in the world even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty remember that it is okay not to know life is about Discovery and experimentation and if at every moment we knew what was next it would get pretty boring do not allow yourself to become consumed by stress of the future actress Kerry Washington said your life is your story and the adventure ahead of you is the journey to fulfill your own purpose and potential each and every one of us has a unique purpose in this world and we
012will all eventually find our way to it and so I leave you with this though I'm sure you know it by now time does indeed fly by for now let's focus on this moment this wonderful occasion that we are here to celebrate today and the amazing people in this crowd I am so grateful to be here and I am so proud of all of us thank you I would like to introduce our next speaker Stephen Ramos Stephen Ramos is an IB diploma recipient and has been involved with several film projects on campus including the 2022 every 15 minutes video as well as a Red Ribbon Week public service announcement for the city of La Palma he runs a YouTube channel alongside fellow senior Luke Blackburn called plot hole Productions which together they have seen great
013success at the auhsd student film festival for the past three years with this reputation they have already earned paid internships for video production at the district office an aspiring filmmaker Steven will be attending Cal State Long Beach in the fall for Film Production and is working to become a film director it is my pleasure to welcome Stephen Ramos to the podium [Applause] first off I want you the class of 2023 to understand that the reason you are sitting here this morning is entirely a product of your will for most of us it took True Grit just to get a seat on this field today despite the obstacles we have faced whether that be commitments outside of school unfortunate living situations or a lack of a support system all of you held a resolve strong enough
014to overcome these challenges that had once felt impossible whether that was by the skin of your teeth or with a 5.0 GPA the weight of this paper is no different it is proof that we are capable of the responsibilities of adulthood and thus capable of having an impact on the world around us you may have heard from your parents or teachers that we are the future that we are their only hope we always try to imagine what the future may look like with technology rapidly progressing and new Artificial Intelligence being created every day threatening our future careers and livelihoods yet in this world of Pure Imagination we seem to forget the influence we have over how Society really turns out now I know to some of you it may seem fun to imagine a cyberpunk
015lifestyle seeing Ryan Gosling and Blade Runner and saying that is literally me but these science fiction films these stories they allow us to imagine a future where Humanity Embraces these technological innovations whether or not these worlds become reality is up to you every one of you wearing a green gown you are all taking on this burden of keeping this heavy torch of human Innovation moving forward now I know that I'm also wearing a green gown but the thing is unlike all of you who will have Majors that will actively benefit Society I'm I'm going to be going into debt trying to make a living by telling stories of my film degree that is not to say art and storytelling are not important aspects of The Human Condition in fact we're all storytellers we are all
016the writers of the script that is our lives as you all go off to complete your second and third acts of your stories I want to leave you with advice that I have learned from reading about some of the best screenwriters and that is to write your story backwards come up with your desired ending then everything that comes after it must facili that comes before it must facilitate this outcome here I want you all to close your eyes and imagine your future self think to 2049 if you will most of us will be about 44 years old but forget about physical appearance or potential social class I want you to take yourself through the experiences of your future self travel through the life that they have lived accomplishing everything you have ever dreamed of all
017the strutting and fretting of your hour upon this stage but actually making it signify something because not all of this is just Sound and Fury our actions will decide our happiness let what you see right now this glimpse into your future be the ending of your story today marks the beginning of the second and the second act and the rising action towards the climax of your life Kennedy class of 2023 I hope to see you all again before the credits roll okay high for life [Applause] we would now like to introduce the Kennedy senior senior singers under the direction of Miss Jane Morales singing Unwritten already [Music] can't read my mind [Music] foreign [Music] there is always [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you Kennedy singers and Mrs Morales please give them another

019[Music] I would like to spare my I would like to start my speech with an acknowledgment of the Anaheim Union High School Districts board president Mr O'Neill Board of Trustees Miss Guerrero Mrs Piercy Mrs Randall Trejo superintendent matsuda assistant superintendent of Education Services Dr freed assistant superintendent of Human Resources Mr Jackson Executive Director of Education Services Mr Saldivar for joining us here today your dedication and support to our students and families in auhsd and Kennedy High School is deeply appreciated parents family members community members friends and staff and most importantly the class of 2023 congratulations [Music] you have made it to this momentous day a day marking the culmination of your determination diligence and dedication as you sit here today you have every reason to be proud of yourselves for this incredible achievement as you
020prepare to embark on the next journey of your lives I would like to share with you some words of wisdom that I hope will guide you along the way former president John F Kennedy once said and yes I love my JFK quotes let us think of Education as the means of developing our greatest abilities because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which fulfilled can be translated into benefit for everyone and the greater strength for our nation today we celebrate our seniors who have spent countless hours developing their greatest abilities and are moving on to fulfill their private hopes and dreams but as we all know hopes and dreams are not fulfilled without hard work the road to success is not determined by how fast you travel but rather how consistently
021you move towards your goals and how resiliently you navigate the obstacles along the way after spending six hours at school you had to do homework you had a job attended rehearsals for the Shamrock regiment choir or theater volunteered for a special cause spent numerous hours devoted to ASB and showed commitment and sacrifice as an athlete attending practice and games regularly on top of all of that you had to study for your exams some of you studied for your IB or AP exams only to capture a few hours of sleep to begin the process over again and somehow you had to manage what was going on in your personal life all at the same time what you learn to value in high school was not achieved overnight but through hard work and dedication the road to
022success is not an easy one but it is worth every step of the journey second never stop learning education is not limited to the walls of a classroom you must continue to learn and grow throughout your life be curious about the world around you ask questions seek answers the more you learn I hope the more you will see the beauty in the world that surrounds you third always remember the importance of kindness be kind to yourself and others treat everyone with respect and empathy and never forget the kind word or gesture that can have a significant impact on someone else as John F Kennedy once said one person can make a difference and everyone should try you have the power all of you have the power to make a difference in someone's life kindness is
023not weakness kindness is a reflection of who you are and it takes an undeniable amount of patience strength and courage to be kind to others especially when you think they are undeserving of it and finally I encourage you to remember my final JFK quote for the day ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country no matter what we do in life we should always be in the service of others whether it is listening to someone who needs to be heard offering a helping hand becoming an educator or serving in the military whatever your heart desires the act of service helps Humanity Find meaning purpose and Community the act of service will provide you with the sense of fulfillment that nothing else will as you leave John
024F Kennedy High School home of the Fighting Irish I encourage you to take The Road Less Traveled with hard work education kindness and service My Hope Is that you make a positive impact in our nation and in the world remember that you are capable of achieving greatness and always always believe in your abilities the world is waiting for you to make your mark so congratulations once again class of 2023 and good luck on your next adventure I now ask the president of the Board of Trustees Mr Brian O'Neil Clerk and trustee Anne-Marie Randall Trejo board trustee Anna Piercy and trustee Jessica Guerrero to move to their positions for the presentation of diplomas assisting [Applause] assisting in the presentation and reading of names are English and film teacher Mrs Christie Bettendorf health and Sports Medicine teacher
