And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walking till you find the window. If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile.

[Applause] [Music] Good evening friends, family, faculty, and my fellow graduates. of the class of 2025. As I look out at the sea of red and white gowns tonight, I am reminded of our high school journey together. Whether it was our final first day of school, the chaos of homecoming week, the unforgettable senior skip day, or the wild senior assassin game, or even our controversial senior prank. Sorry, admin. We've made memories that will live far beyond our years together. But behind the celebrations, today is about more than what we've done together. It's about everything it took for us
016individually to get here at this very moment. Each of us walked a different path to this stage. And for many, the journey was far from easy. When people see me today with my white gown, the cords, the smile, the accolades, they might see success, but what they don't see is the pain behind it. They don't see the heartbreak of losing my grandmother to stage 4 brain cancer. They don't see the nights my family didn't have a place to call home. They don't see the quiet voice of imposttor syndrome whispering in my ear every time I dare to dream bigger than my own circumstances. I was once broken and I was once lost. But then I found my purpose. I discovered that my life's calling was to lead, to empower, and to inspire others to rise
017above their own adversities. But I didn't get here alone. One person looked at a quiet, broken, and hesitant sophomore and saw a leader waiting to emerge. Miss Thei, you dared me to take that first step in joining BPA, and that step forever changed my life. So, thank you for believing in me before I could ever believe in myself. And then there's the woman who has been my rock through it all. My warrior, my role model, my best friend. My mother ne never gave me the idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with unconditional love and grit. She empowered me to dream beyond our own circumstances and showed me what was out there in the world to do or be. as she
018guided me through these incredible 18 years. I don't know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her. So, thank you, Mom. I love [Applause] you. You see, at times our purpose drops into our laps as if the heavens threw it by accident. The reality of life is that we will all hear more nos than we hear yeses. And we will fail a lot. And I mean a whole lot. But what I ask of you today is to not take no for an answer. Don't be afraid of nos. Be afraid of the possibility of a yes that you have prematurely destroyed because you decided to quit before the clock strikes 12. And when life brings you a battle you can't win or a mountain you can't climb, know that there
019is a God who loves you and created you with a purpose. And this God became man and gave everything, even his own life, so you could be free. So no matter your past, your failures, or your fears, your future is limitless when you walk in that freedom. My fellow classmates, go out into this world with bold dreams, open hearts, and a spirit that never gives up. And always remember, no matter where you start, the possibilities for your future are only limited by the depths of your own imagination. It has been my greatest honor to serve you as your senior class president and to hope that the memories we've made inside the Brazesport halls and outside will stay with you forever. So, thank you and hook [Applause] Thank you, Angel. Now, I would like to present
020Myin Mitchell, saludiatoran of the graduating class of 2025. Myin has a GPA of 102.8007 and plans to attend Bates College in Maine. Myin, please [Applause] stand. Thank you, Marin. Next, I would like to present Israel Lurma, valadictorian of the graduating class of 2025. He has a GPA of 103.1664 and plans to attend Rice University. Israel, please come forward to give your validictorian address. Good evening everyone. It's Israel Lurma. Uh, it's nice seeing everyone here and it's cool being up here. I didn't really want to be up here, but I just felt the need to be up here. And before anything, before I say anything else, I have a timer here just so I don't get lost in the time. And I also had to follow the script I wrote out just to ensure my words
021do not get lost in translation. And I won't lie, I wanted to do the speech from my mind just off the top of my head because I'm that type of person. I don't like when things are written down. That's just not me. But I learned recently that some things are better written down, especially with something at this caliber. But firstly, this is for my mom and dad in the stands only. And this is where I do have to read my script because I don't want to mess up the Spanish. Kindergarten. [Music] specific. [Applause] And to both my brothers, Gabriel, Gabo, and to Ramon, like just thank y'all for everything. And Gabo, you're one of the best little brothers I could have. And just keep working. And anything you want, you can have. So just keep
022working and I know you'll make it. And to my big brother Ramon, you know, without you, I don't know what I would be. He jokes he put me on a lot of stuff, and he's right, cuz he did. He graduated third in his class two years ago. And seeing that just made me want to one up him. It just made me want to be better. And I never told him that. But I just wanted to one up you. And that's why I'm here right [Applause] now. And to my three cousins, some of them couldn't be here tonight, but Angel, Manuel, and Anthony, wherever y'all are watching, thank y'all for being the best cousins ever. I don't really say it, but y'all are the reason why I like what I like as well. From music to
023sports to the way I talk, I want to say thank y'all four guys for being the major influences in my life. And without y'all, I wouldn't be who I am today. So, just thank y'all just for being in my life. [Applause] And to all my real ones sitting down and watching, I want to thank all of y'all, but special shout out to my boy Ga Lurma right there. right there in the first row. And my boy Jesus Gonzalez up there. He drove down to Houston. Someone drove him out. I don't know how, but he's here. Even though Guo and I have the same last name, we don't come from the same family. We're not related, which is kind of weird, but you know, we've been through everything. We've been friends for 10 years from bilingual
024class to search class to AB classes to band, bro. Like, you know, you're my brother, man. And even though we're not related, you know, we have that and I love that. And to my man Jesus up there, you're just the coolest dude I met. You always push me to be the best and you just keep pushing me and pushing me and I love that. And I just love talking to you. You're y'all are the best friends I could ever have. So I thank y'all for being my brothers for life. And to all my friends that I'm g say in chronological order to Albert, Jordan, Leo, Jr., Juan, Marcus, Isaac, Alex, Joelle, Christian, and Andrea. I met all of you at different times in my life. But y'all are the realest friends who have always been
025with me. The memories, the talks, and the laughs I had with all of y'all the best. People say after high school, you only be talking to your friends, but with these people, I just know it's not true. So, thank y'all for being the best friends I could ever have. And I also want to say quick thanks to my favorite teacher, Miss Pucket, right there in the first row. Hopefully, she's not asleep. I I don't even I'm not even going into a math field, but you just make it so fun. And you just you just make me realize I am a nerd and I am going to miss that stuff. But just thank you for being the best teacher. Just thank you. And to Miss Kayla right there, right behind you, you know, you're the reason
026why I'm here right now. You're the reason why I'm myself. You know, without you, I don't know where I would be. And you just pushed me to be myself always. And you're the only person I could trust with my thoughts and everything. And for that, I thank you. Just thank you for it [Applause] all. And to all my co-workers at O Toro, especially the ones I've been working with for years in the to-go section, y'all are some of the coolest people I've met. And I just want to say thank y'all for making work fun. Thank y'all for making it memorable. And hopefully to my manager who's seeing this right now. Can you just please give me a raise? I've been working there for three years. Like I need a raise real quick before I leave.
027But to to end this off because it's been 5 minutes and 55 seconds like I planned. Someone once randomly asked me two years ago, "What's the proudest thing I've done in my life?" And I love it when people ask me deep, deep questions, but it doesn't happen in this city. It doesn't happen in this community. But vividly, I remember explaining to this person who I am, what I've done, and what I want to be. This person was amazed. They were just shocked. They liked what they saw. But they exclaimed, exclaimed, they exclaimed that I could be more, that I could actually be someone important, someone who could be remembered in this world. And the fact that someone saw that in me, a 16-year-old kid from this place, it just changed my perspective and everything. And
028ever since then, whatever I do now, I attempt to master it. I try to be the best at my craft. What whatever people say perfection is not achievable. and they're right. However, I know myself and personal perfection within yourself is in fact a thing. This simple question which led to a memorable conversation enlightened me that we will never be perfect for the world. But at least we can be perfect for ourselves and the people around us. For me, being remembered positively in some light is when I know personal perfection is achieved. And to everyone here, we will we will never be perfect for this world. Just look around us. But please reflect on your life, on what you've done in the past, what you are now, and what you want to do in the future.
029Find what personal perfection is to you, and use that to keep pushing you in life. We all have different definitions of it, and that's what makes us human. But once you know what you actually want in life, what drives you, what makes you happy, what gets you out of bed, what gives you a smile, I promise it makes this thing we call life actually worth it. My name's Israel Maximilliano Lurma and that's all I have to say. Everyone enjoy this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] night. Thank you. Israel Brazesport High School class of 2025. Congratulations to you, your parents, guardians, family, friends tonight on this accomplishment. It has been an outstanding privilege to serve as your principal. And I can say tonight, looking at each of you, I am godly proud. Over the last few years, you've
030heard me say in hallways, keep your feet in motion. Walk and talk. Walk with a purpose. Because making progress should always be the goal. Getting better daily should always be the aim. The subtlety of these phrases regarding your movement, specifically walking, actually refers to how you should live your life. Your walk is your life and your actions should speak louder than your words. Your behavior must line up with your beliefs. So walk with a purpose. Translation: Live with purpose. You should always make progress towards your next goal, next destination, next milestone in life. The way that you do that is to walk in truth. There are a lot of people in this world that miss this very concept. They lie, they cheat, they steal, they say and do bad things. They wear masks and pretend
031on every side of their existence for various reasons. I would insert the phrase, "We listen, but we don't judge." Because the seed of judgment is not left to man. Here's what I've learned. There will come a time that it will all be sorted out in the end. There will be a day when the silence of the room and the noise of one's thoughts will serve as notice on how and the way that you lived your life. Moves that were made in the shadows, things that were done behind closed doors will all come to the light. And come to the light doesn't always mean exposure. But there will be something that serves as a reminder that it wasn't done the right way. It wasn't built on the right foundation and inevitably to some degree it will
032fail. So, class of 25, live your life in truth. Treat people the right way. Not because they deserve it, but because our world, our society needs it now more than ever. I used to say, "Treat people the way you want to be treated." But sadly, that's not enough anymore. With social media influences and the erosion of our moral compass, common courtesies and considerations seem to not be found. Self-esteem, self-respect have taken a significant hit and are at an all-time low. So, pay it forward and treat people the right way. Respect yourself, respect others. It's not about whether you believe that they deserve respect or not. There's a small price to pay to being respectful, and that's merely our pride. A wise man once said that pride goes before destruction and a hearty spirit before a
033fall. I charge you, class of 2025, to be respectful in all settings and keep it moving. Don't spend your effort or energy trying to get even. It can't be an eye for an eye. You don't have to go tit for tat. When you live your life in truth, you're going to win in the end. The truth be told, when you live your life in truth, you've already won because of the way that you carry yourself. I'm extremely pr proud of this class. I'm proud of you because of the spirit of this class is remarkably beautiful. I ask that you do three things heading into the next chapter that are aligned with the spirit of this class. In life, take the high road because you're going places. There's no need to match energy or to stoop
034down and get on someone's level. Some things should be and will be beneath you, undeserving of a response from you. So, be unbothered. And remember, you're going places. Take the high road because it's aligned with your beliefs and your faith that you're walking in purpose. The things that God has in store for you aren't left to the fate of others. They've been written and etched in stone. There's no place for getting revenge or getting even. Repay no one evil for evil because life has a way of working things out on their own. Number two, learn at every turn. The positions and places that you will find yourself in will be an opportunity to teach you something. Something about yourself. maybe a character flaw, a personality quirk. You'll learn about others. You'll learn about emotions. You'll
035learn about how to process your emotions and how to manage others when they're fueled by them. How to protect yourself. But take advantage of every opportunity to learn while in them. This will cultivate various gifts and talents that lie within and will and will produce what's called transferable skills. Skills that transcend any one place. Skills that will allow you to be successful in any sector and will present no limitations and no door will be off limits. Number three, slow down and enjoy the present moment. Make time for the people that are around you. Enjoy them, laugh with them, laugh at yourself, but be present because the dynamics of this present state are not guaranteed in the next chapter of your life. So don't be in a hurry to be on to the next one. Be
036fully engaged in the right now with the people you love and care about. And this includes your family, your friends, your co-workers. When you embrace them fully, when you serve and love them with all of your heart in whatever role you play in their lives, when it comes to the end of that chapter, you won't have any regrets. Instead, you'll have a bond and memories that are locked in forever that neither you nor them will ever forget. you'll be able to look around and say emphatically, a time was had and with God's favor, we did that. To the Bport influ influencers that are here tonight and watching at home, I want to publicly say thank you for the way that you've bought into the work that we get to do. Thank you for your commitment
037and service in the Bport Vineyard. I stand in front of our why, the graduating class of 25 with a heart of gratitude. Thankful for every stakeholder, our parents, family members, friends, board members, central office leadership of BISD, my administrative team, Charlie and the crew with great gratitude for seeing the vision through. We've prepared the Bport class of 2025 to excel beyond the classroom. Congratulations. And with that, we will certify the class. Mr. Massie, will you please join me on stage?

[Applause] [Music] At this time, I would like to ask Aaliyah Madreal to come forward for the moving of the tassels. [Applause] [Music] Hello everyone. How are y'all doing? Love to hear it. I know most of you are ready to get up and get gone, so I promise I'll make this short and sweet. Good evening to all families, friends, dedicated staff, and most importantly to the amazing class of 2025. Before anything else, I want to take a moment to thank the teachers who supported us, challenged us, and stuck with us through all the highs, lows, and occasional chaos we put you through the last four years. And of course, let's not forget the lunch ladies. Thank
046you for making sure we never face a school day on an empty stomach. To the custodial staff, thank you again for keeping our classrooms and halls nice and clean. As we celebrate this important milestone today, let's remember it's just the beginning. We made it through the late night study sessions, early alarms, even when they didn't help much, and all the obstacles that senior year had to offer. And yet we are still standing stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever before. Today we transition from learners to graduates. With this new title comes a new chapter, one that will bring challenges, growth, and opportunities waiting to be claimed. It's a chapter that will shape who we are and who we're becoming. As we take this leap into the future, let's never forget why we work so hard.
047We do it for the future ahead, for the younger versions of ourselves who pushed through so much to get here. And most importantly, for our families, the one who supported us through every late night, every setback, and every success. I know I could speak for all of us when I say that our greatest motivation over the years has been the unwavering love and support from our families. to the parents and grandparents who cheered us on, lifted us up, and never gave up on us. This moment is just as much yours as it is ours. On a more personal note, and as I had the spotlight, I'd like to take a few um a few moments of to thank my own, my mom, to my best friend. Even though you always reminded me you're not one
048of my little friends. Thank you for putting up with all my moose scenes and always being in my corner. Even when I pushed you away, you're one of the strongest women I know and I love you deeply. I can't wait for the day I can get back just like you always done everything for me, no questions asked. My dad, my bestie, thank you for treating me like a princess and always reminding me how strong and beautiful I am. Even when I forget at times, your advice, your belief in me, and your unconditional love mean more than I can say. To Mr. Moreno, I see you. Thank you for making your classroom a safe heaven. You've been a steady source of support, a listening ear, and a true cheerleader since sophomore year. Every student deserves a
049Mr. Moreno, someone who believes in them even when they forget to believe in themselves at times. And lastly, but not least, Miss Hardy. Though you're watching from home tonight, your warmth and compassion are still felt. Thank you for all the love and light you brought into our classroom every day. You will be deeply missed and forever appreciated by all of us. Okay, seniors. Now, can you please stand? Our moment is yet to come. Here's to new beginnings and the exciting journey that lies ahead. Full of opportunities, challenges, and growth we can yet imagine. Now, please turn your tassels from the right to the left, signifying your new status as graduates. Congratulations, class of 25. We are so proud of you. Love you all. [Applause] [Music] Thank you, Aaliyah. Before we start our recessional, the senior
050class of 2025 respectfully requests that everyone remain seated in the stands until they have gathered together on the field and the Brazport High School alma mater fight song and senior class song has been completed. Immediately following their class song and tossing their caps, the class of 2025 invites you to come onto the field to celebrate this momentous occasion. I'd also like to publicly thank Miss Charlotte Bell and David Bell for their sacrifice to make this ceremony happen tonight. They're one of many who have played a key role, but what I saw this week, I'm just in awe. Thank you for that. [Music] to permanent aloch. The class of 25 will now begin their recessional [Applause] [Music] world that we should see. Take my hand. Close your eyes with you right here. I'm [Applause] walkless. Here

See, I ain't never seen a star this close. You got me stuck by the way you glow. I'm like, "Oh, oh." I'm like, "Oh, oh, oh." [Applause] Yeah. There's a world out there that we should see.
