We are pleased that so many of our senior families, friends, and special guests could join us this morning. I welcome the School District of Hawaii Board of Education and Administration. I am equally proud to see and welcome the supportive turnout of faculty, which

To our amazing family, dedicated teachers, incredible staff, and most importantly, my classmates, the unforgettable class of 2025. This moment right here, this is what it's all about. My name is Trayana Meexer and I have the absolute honor of being your senior class president. And today standing here, I am filled with nothing but gratitude, pride, and a little bit of disbelief because y'all, we did it. After 4 years of test, project, stress, laugh, and growth, we really made it. Now, I don't know about you, but it feels like yesterday we were freshman trying to figure out where our next class was, wondering if

010we could make it to lunch without getting lost. We were awkward, unsure, nervous, nervous, and honestly our backpacks a little bit too. But look at us now. We've come a long way from the first awkward snaps, conversations in the hallway, the late night facetimes trying to teach each other out of the gut. In the mornings we swore we were never getting out of bed again. We've grown into people who know how to push through, to show up and lift each other up when it comes to most. We've come from a world that is constantly trying to doubt us. A world that throws challenges at us left and right, but we've met those challenges head on. We've overcome things no one saw coming. We didn't let the world define us. We define ourselves. And let's talk

011about the memories because while the tests and grades matter, what I'll remember most are the moments in between. Like the energy of the Friday night football game where we packed the stands with school spirit, shot a chance until our boys gave out. We celebrated our team like it was the Super Bowl. Whether we were freezing in the bleachers or sweating through our face paint, we were together. It wasn't about the score, it was about the pride. I'll remember hallway laughs, last mate, last minute locker talk, walking to class pretending we understood the homework. I'll remember the group projects that turn into group therapy and the pep rallies, the inside jokes and the Tik Toks we tried and sometimes failed to recreate. The way our class came together in ways that were bigger than just school,

012we became a family. And through all of that, we didn't get here alone. To my friends, thank you for being the people who made school more than just school. You made it fun. You made it bearable on the hard days and unforgettable on the good ones. I love you deeply. To our teachers and staff, thank you for showing up for us every single day. Even when we were half half asleep, not turning in our homework or asking, "Is this going to be on the test?" We never g you never gave up on us. You saw our potential before we did. You taught us more than facts. You taught us how to believe in ourselves. To my family, thank you for being my home. Thank you for every ride, every late night pep talk, and every

013moment you picked me back up when I was down. Your love gave me the strength even when I felt empty. I wouldn't be here without [Applause] And now I want to give a special thanks to someone who changed everything for me. Dr. Constance Sparrow. Dr. Baro, you are my person. You were the one who reminded me when I that I was enough when I forgot. The one who pushed me harder, the one to not be to not be perfect, but to be real. You showed me that leadership is about heart, not just about titles. You believed in me when I was ready to quit. You reminded me of who I was, and for that, I will never stop thanking you. And now every person s I know every person sitting here has someone like that.

014Someone who helped them get through the hard days. Someone who reminded them why they started. If they're here today, give them your love. If they couldn't be here, hear their voices with you because they helped you build the version of who's graduating today. So now what? Now we walk into the next chapter of our lives. Some headed to college, some to jobs, some to the military, and some still figuring it out. And that's okay. What matters is you keep showing up, keep learning, keep becoming. Because the the world is big and sometimes brutal. But we've already proven we're built for this. We've learned to fall and get back up. We've learned to work through the doubt. We've learned how to lead with heart and how to show up for ourselves. And as we step into

015the world, I want to leave you with words from the one and only Nicki Minaj. Because sometimes the realest wisdom comes from the queen herself. Earn what you have. It's not cool to be a loser. Go to school. Graduate. Because when it's all said and done, they can say what they want about you, but they can't take it from you. can they can say what they want but they can't take this from us. We earned this moment. We earned this diploma. We earned every laugh, every tear, every moment. Class of 2025, hold your head high. Walk across the stage like you own it because you do. Thank you. I love you all. And now, let's make the world remember our name. Thank you, Triana. It is now my pleasure to introduce you to our second

016student speaker, Miss Lauren Higgins, the president of the National Honor Society. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you, Miss Pel. Good morning. My name is Lauren Daisy Higgins, and I'm honored to speak at this momentous occasion, the class of 2025's graduation. Yeah, go ahead, clap. That deserves a round of applause. As you listen to a few words I share today, I want it to be recognized that I am merely a conglomerate of of all the experiences, hard work, determination, and endless dedication of the driven students that sit before me. I act as a mouthpiece of those who have given countless hours to extracurricular activities, studied for hours for AP courses, dealt with family hardships, struggled through a foreign language, or face challenges in any aspect, and still made the conscious decision to quit for [Applause] [Music] It

017exceeds the expectations for making everlasting impact. Class of 2025, from this point forward, let us walk the stride of confidence down the complex path of life. Continuing to search for those who are opportunity at every door and at any door that seems lockable, we force. Let us utilize the skills of perseverance and diligence described here to seek a future overflowing with prosperity that endowed us. Let us ignore those who doubt our abilities and turn the court system that is cheering upon not just today but in this day not farewell but let this day be class of 2005. I believe that every single person who sits before me in their mighty galls the power to change the world. Every leader who lives to the right of you trust their future talent against law and they continue

018to create more future leaders who will one day be carrying the same severity walk across the stage already know of your capabilities and talents. All that live past is what you know. Now this may not show you those inspires you now. And I would love to say I'm overseeating your best. However, what I said is everything else. Yes, it is a big job, but no one would have blessed me if they didn't know. So please if my time is properly I won't leave you with and that includes you. Yes you in a world where your name a road where your footsteps are playing the yellow brick road for the generations of you. A world where your life has given someone a reason to dare. A road where those around you are consistently in awe of

019your love. As you walk across the stage today, walk like a police as you turn. I'll be carrying up your session in your Thank you all for giving me your attention during the time here. It has been an honor. The world is waiting classified and the class has just begun. Thank you. [Applause] Try it. Here it is. Okay, I think I'm back. Today is a celebration, a milestone, a turning point, and for many of you, the moment you've been dreaming about for the past four years. To the class of 2025, congratulations. You made it. As I stand here and look out at you, I see a magnificent display of pride and excitement. You are ready for your next steps in life. So, I would like to send you with a simple truth. The best is

020yet to come. I know it might sound cliche, but this is with complete sincerity and belief. Today isn't the peak of your journey. It's just the beginning. The most incredible parts of your story haven't even been written yet. But you are the holding the pen. And with every choice you make, you have the power to shape a story that is bold, meaningful, and entirely your own. High school has taught you many things, not just academically, but personally, too. It's taught you how to manage responsibilities and make thoughtful decisions, how to collaborate with others, when to raise your voice, and when to listen with intention. You've celebrated victories and weathered setbacks. And through it all, you've grown into individuals ready to step into a world that needs you. Because make no mistake, the world does need

021you. It needs your ideas. It needs your energy. It needs your voice, your creativity, your sense of justice, your empathy, and your strength. You're entering a time when the world is changing fast. There are problems to solve, challenges to rise to, and dreams to chase that no one has dared to dream before. And I know without a doubt, you are up to the task. Some of you have already mapped out your next steps. Going to college, into the military, directly into a career, the trades, or even a gap year. Some of you are still trying to figure it out. And that's okay. The road ahead is not a race. It's a journey. Take the time to discover what lights you up inside, that fire that ignites you. And when you find it, run toward it

022with all the heart and courage you've got. Because that fire is going to lead you to the best that is to come. Class of 2025, dream boldly. Don't be afraid to fail. Failure just means you're trying something worth doing. Don't settle for the easy path. Choose the one that matters. And always remember, your impact will not be measured just by what you achieve, but by how you lift others along the way. And when things get hard, and they will, remember who you are. Remember your friends and classmates who were there by your side every day at school. the teachers who believed in you and pushed you to your full potential and the family members who cheered you on through the tough times and the best times. Remember the moments that built you because they are

023your foundation for what the future holds for you. The best is yet to come. As you walk across this stage today, take pride in what you've accomplished. But don't stop there. Keep going. Keep learning. Keep growing. because the best of your story is still ahead. So go out there and make a difference. Let the world be better because of you. Class of 2025, congratulations. We're proud of you. We believe in you and we can't wait to see all that you become. Thank you. And now I would like to welcome Vice President Miss Tia Johnson to the podium. [Music] Oh yeah, go do that. Wow, what a Memorial class of 2025. Congratulations. Thank you, Mrs. for your kind introduction and the great memorial. Congratulations, Purple Night class of 2025. Thank you. And everyone who has supported

024and guided you along the way to this moment of your impeccable achievement. You want me to speak up? Okay, I'll speak up. No, Tom, that's what I'm here for. I'm here to serve you. Your journey has been unique. You were the first freshman class to enter Bit Memorial High School as the world emerged from CO. You've experienced a world of increasing political and climatic instability and you've witnessed and embraced rapid advances in technology. It is possible your final papers may have been written and graded with the assistance of Chad GPT. To be honest, as I struggled to put pen to paper in writing this speech, a friend suggested I use AI. It was worth a try and that GPD did generate an appropriate, well-manufactured, grammatically correct speech. But it was just one I could not

025give to you because you deserve more. You deserve sincerity and words from the heart. This significant moment of your determination and triumph on your part requires and demands the same of me and all of us here celebrating you and your success. Let us all recognize your hard work, your perseverance and all of your accomplishments, be they academic, athletic, musical, artistic or any effort you face courageously and diligently. Your academic and personal achievements that we today pay tribute to are the foundations you will build on as you move into the next chapter of your life. Be it one of college, military service, employment, transfer or other ambitions, you have a solid, valid basis on which to create, refine, and realize your dreams. Don't worry about being perfect or getting it right the first time. Do your

026best for yourselves and for those who are dear to you. Success will come. With patience and dedication, you will reach your aspirations. The level of greatness you have within you is boundless. Ever. If you find yourself at a point when you need help or advice, as all we hear from time to time, remember where you came from. Deo, the small Midwestern city built from grit and tenacity. I am strong. We are enduring, resilient, and courageous. Here you are family. Here we all bleed purple. Here you have fellowers eager to help you with that next step and the step after that and the step after that. If you stumble, you have resources here to help you regain your footing. All the caring people here who have provided support and guidance in leading you to this place

027will be enthused, grateful, and proud to be able to help you in all your future endeavors. Now, I know my words of encouragement will quickly be forgotten.

030off strip just a little bit because I know we want to make sure this uh speaker is working when we walk across this stage. I got three things I want to say to y'all right now. And I call the three P 3P phenomena. Okay, three P phenomena. Number one, pause. Everybody say pause. Every once in a while, you got to stop. Not stop, you got to pause. Slow down, reflect, and think. Is this the direction I want to go? Make sense? Number two, pivot. Everybody say pivot. Now we had to do some pivoting today, didn't we? Okay, but we made it. A pivot is a changing of direction. All we had to do is make a small change in the direction. We got our mics to work. And thank you to our technology team for

031doing the best they could in a situation in which we couldn't understand. So once once again, every once in a while, you have to pick. Number three. Everybody say number three. I'm going to be done now. I'm going to be done now. Number three. Number three. Push through. Push through. Push through. Push through. Come on now. Listen. Every once in a while, there's going to come a time where you going to have to push through some stuff. And it doesn't have to be the things that's that's hard or things that make you feel like there's adversity. Pushing through also has some positive moments. It sure do. Cuz after you push through some things, everybody say push through some things. Yeah. After we push through some things. Yes, that's true. You actually have some joy, you

032actually have some peace, you actually also have a little bit of happiness because you push through some things that really helped you move in the direction that you was trying to go. Three things to pause, to pivot, and to push through. To the class of 2025, thank you so much. Thank you so much for doing those three things with me. I truly appreciate everything that y'all done. For the school district of Lloyd and this entire city to the alumni, do me a huge favor. Alumni, if you're in the room, please stand. Please stand. Alumni, please stand. Okay. Okay.
