My name is Erdardo Gonzalez and and I am honored to be the 2025 Saludiatoran for the last class of Bowmont College. As I stand on the stage, I am not sure what to feel. A sense of anxiousness comes over me as as I know the many restless nights and seemingly endless days are not yet over. But I find solace in seeing the people I have spent the last four years of my life with exiting this
012chapter of their lives together. if and when you look back at your time in high school and reminisce by the conversations, laughs, and secrets you shared with your teachers, classmates, and friends. Thank you. The memories of wearing over a homework assignment or stressing yourself over the test in front of you will be there. But those feelings are nothing compared to the accomplishments and success your decisions and actions during those moments has brought you to. The time we have spent in high school has been but a fraction of our lives up to this point and a fraction of what is to come. From the moment we stepped into this school, our future was unknown and it still is. However, the future whether it says known or not will come. And some of us will venture it
013venture into it together and others alone. But regardless of the circumstances, we have to be open to the change it will bring. The longer I continue to speak up here, the more memories come flooding back to me, reminding me of the people who have more than my high school experience. To my teachers, I give thanks. They have taught me so much. Mr. Jun, Mrs. K, and Miss Medina, y are the reasons I have enjoyed going to school to learn something new every day. To my friends, Sergio, Alonzo, Jose, Kevin, and Diego. Thanks to each of you for always having my back. To my cousin Sophia, sometimes it feels like it should it should be you on the stage rather than me. Fore speech. Manosche. And now is my time to say goodbye. In these four
014years, we have seen each other grow and fall, but we have always moved forward. I will miss every one of you. Thank you for holding on along the [Applause] way. Thank you. And please join in welcoming our val our valadictorian Alonzo Rodriguez to the podium. He will now address our honored guest and you the 20 the 2025 graduating class of Bulma Early College High School. Good evening parents, faculty, friends, and fellow 2025 graduates. Before I begin, I would like for us to give our graduating class of 2025 another big loud round of applause. We did it. After years of homework, exams, and walking by Miss Ferris on our way into school every morning, we made it to the end. Well, is it really the end? Although our time in high school has come to a
015close, this is really just the beginning. Whether the next step is college, military service, the workforce, or something entirely different, our lives have only just begun. It's time to go into the real world that we have always been warned about. And as we go we go into the next chapter of our lives, I want each and every one of you to know that I have high hopes for you. As we spend these last couple of years together, whether we wanted to or not, we got to know each other pretty well. We have worked together, studied together, and panicked before exams together. And I honestly think that we have developed a special connection that only we as a class could have developed. I'm certain that every one of you is capable of finding success out there.
016And I want you guys to believe that as well. And I really hate to admit this, but time really did fly by. I'm pretty sure we all remember our teachers constantly going on and on about how fast our high school years would go by. And I never took them seriously. However, here we are. And they were right. In the blink of an eye, my freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years all came to an end. Out of nowhere, I was suddenly turning in my last high school essay, eating my last chicken sandwich in the cafeteria and attending my last high school pep rally. However, aside from all of the academic knowledge that I consumed, I learned one very important lesson throughout the last couple of years, which is to embrace the present. Don't rush through life.
017Take the time to enjoy and live in the moment. Time isn't going to stop or slow down, no matter how much you wanted to. So, make the most of it. Live a life you won't regret in the future. Take that risk. The biggest risk you will ever take is not taking one at all. As we continue as we all continue on with our lives, I also want you guys to appreciate and acknowledge those who have helped you and continue to help you every day. Whether it's a friend, a sibling, a parent, or even a pet, cherish the support and comfort that those individuals offer. Could I confidently say that I would be standing right here today as validictorian without the help of my family, friends, and teachers? I honestly could not. I'm grateful to everybody
018who has encouraged and giving me the motivation to strive for something bigger, no matter how small that help was. Thank you to our custodians and lunch ladies for keeping our learning environment clean and our stomachs full. Thank you to our teachers, Miss Marshall, Miss Ferris, and the rest of the early college faculty for helping us grow and complete our education. Thank you to my friends for making not only school, but life in general fun and enjoyable. Last but not least, I want to thank my amazing parents and siblings for being by my side every step of the way. I want us on to live in the moment. So, graduating class of 2025, please smile as I forever capture this moment. Thank you. And congratulations, class of 2025. [Applause] Now, please welcome Dr. Angela Hill, Provost
019and Vice President of the Instruction from Lamar Institute of Technology to the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] podium. Good evening everyone. I would like to first start and begin in extending my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Allen, the board of trustees, and Mrs. Melanie Ferris for their unwraing support and partnership in shaping the bright minds that we celebrate today. Thank you for entrusting Lamar Institute of Technology with these exceptional students. On behalf of the pre of President Valentine and LIT's faculty and staff, it's an honor to have been a part of the graduates journey. Now to the Bowont Early College High School class of 2025. You did it. So give yourself a round of [Applause] applause. Graduates. Congratulations on reaching the extraordinary milestone. Earning your high school diploma and college credential at the same time is an achievement
020that speaks volumes about your dedication, resilience, and ambition. You have laid a powerful foundation for your future, and we at LIT are incredibly proud to call you LIT alumni. Over the past few years, you have pushed yourselves, supported one another, and shown us all what's possible when when determination meets opportunity. I must admit that your spirit has kept me and my colleagues young at heart. It's been a true joy watching you grow into the confident and capable young adults that you are today. Does everyone remember the first day of Summerbridge? Oh, how the time flies. As you step into the next chapter of your journey, remember this is just the beginning. Continue to face la life's challenges with courage and its opportunities with excitement. The world needs your passion, your voice, and your leadership. We
021encourage you to keep striving, keep dreaming, dreaming, and never stop believing in the power of your potential. Congratulations, class of 2025. Go forth, make your mark in the world, and continue to make your families and Bowmont Independent School District proud. Congratulations. And now I'm pleased to turn our program over to Melanie Ferris, principal of Bulma Early College High School. [Applause] Thank you, Sia. On behalf of the Bulmont Early College High School class of 2025, I want to thank the superintendent, district leadership, the board of trustees, our LIT partners with us today. Your work and commitment has ensured the continuation and growth of our program and our partnership. The opportunity that you make available and the support that you continue to give has the power to change lives. To the parents and families that have stood
022alongside our graduates, thank you for sending us the person that you love most in this world. Thank you for being their rock and their stability. And to the Bowman ECS team here with us today, thank you for every early morning, every late evening, and everything in between. And finally, to our graduates, congratulations. 54 of you participated in LIT's graduation ceremony last week. Three of you will soon ship out to the Marines and one to the Navy. Over $1.5 million in scholarship money has been offered to the class of 2025. These are accomplishments to celebrate. graduates. What we've provided in these last 13 years is merely a foundation, a very base foundation upon which you will build greater knowledge and expertise. You will all continue your education each and every day of your life, learning and
023growing. However, no matter how much you learn, no matter how deep your knowledge, no matter how wide your expertise becomes, I promise you one thing. Life will bring times and experiences that you are unprepared for and you have no training for. How you will how will you construct meaning from these experiences? People often say that there's one thing in life that no one can take from you, your education. But I prefer Victor Frankle's version in his book Man's Search for Meaning where he argues that if circumstance were to rob you of everything, it can never rob you of your freedom to choose your own perspective. Your own human pre freedom to choose your attitude in any given set of circumstances. When things are difficult, do not choose to be indignant. Do not choose to stoop
024low. And whatever you do, do not choose to be the victim. And when you're unsure, simply choose love, empathy, civility. Choose this with a light heart that happily but sometimes with difficulty chooses to find to see and to point out the good in yourself and others. Choose to lift up and not to tear down. Choose encouragement and not criticism because this is always a choice. This will always be your choice to make. And no matter your circumstance, no one can take that from you. Choose wisely. And congratulations, Dr. Allen. Board of Trustees, as the principal of Bumont Early College High School, I certify that each of the seniors seated before you have completed all of the requirements for high school graduation set forth by the state of Texas. At this time, I am honored to
025introduce the superintendent of the Bowmont Independent School District, Dr. Shannon Allen. Can we give the 2025 graduating class of Bulmont Early College High School a really, really, really loud ovation? Can we do that please graduates, parents, family, and friends, I stand before you today on behalf of the board of trustees and the entire Bulmont ISD family to congratulate the graduating class of Bulmont Early College High School for reaching this momentous this milestone. You walked into this auditorium as high school seniors and you will leave as high school graduates. Students, don't ever doubt, just as Miss Ferris said, that you are well equipped and prepared for the next phase in life. All of the work that you have done over the past 13 years didn't just prepare you for an ending, but set a foundation for
026your next beginning. So before we send you off into the world on your individual journeys, I ask you to always recognize the immense power of your words. Students, I want you to remember that your words shape your reality, influence your actions, and they are a vehicle for the manifestation of your dreams. So, I want you to choose to speak only what you want to see happen in your future. Therefore, on your last assignment as a high school senior, I want you to repeat after me, and I want you to be loud and clear. I can do all things. I will accomplish the vision for my life. I will accomplish I will not fail. I will succeed. And on today, your last day as a high school student, I exercise my right to declare over your
027lives. May you step into the world with unwavering boldness and an uncompromised character. May you see prosperity and good health for all of your days. And lastly, may your perseverance to achie achieve your dreams be unstoppable. I'd like to take this final opportunity to again recognize your leaders, your teachers, and most of all your parents and family who over the past 13 years have labored right alongside you in hopes of seeing you reach this day. When the families of our graduates please stand and be recognized, family and friends, I need you to stand up. If you are a family, a friend of one of our 2025 graduating class students, you need to give them a round of applause. Graduates, you would not be here today without their support, guidance, and encouragement. You may be seated,
028family. Thank you. [Applause] I would also like to thank our school board for supporting the vision and mission of the Bowmont Independent School District. And at this time, I'd like to ask Miss Ferris to please join me. This is the absolute best part of my jar.
