WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.080 I'm Tom Davis. We're bringing you the class of twenty three graduation from Barnstall 2 00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:09.679 High School, once again from the lower Gymnasium. It is being brought to 3 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:14.080 you by Barnstall Nursing Home and Holden Septic and once again this is the one 4 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:20.839 hundred second annual commandment taking place here tonight. We've got a little bit of 5 00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:25.480 a delay, but they're trying to get everything in order. Everyone who needs 6 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.760 to be on the main stage and seated, the band is ready. They 7 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:34.079 have to get a couple of extra chairs in because well it's a graduation that 8 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.439 it is kind of a small gym. It's pretty much standing room only at 9 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.840 this point in time, and as soon as they get a few more people 10 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:47.079 comfortably seated, they'll be able to get the commencement underway. People still filing 11 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:53.520 into the door at this point in time, and you know, nothing beats 12 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.920 a good graduation. And I'm sure everybody would have loved to have had this 13 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:03.359 outdoors, where you've had a lot more room and a lot more elbow room. 14 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.359 But as it is, we're kind of packed like sardines here in the 15 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:12.719 small gym and they're putting out probably a good twenty or so extra chairs for 16 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.719 extra seating. We have some people who are basically sitting down at the very 17 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.319 bottom of the side seating, which is nothing more than just a procrusion, 18 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.400 and they'd probably be a little bit easier on their backbones and backsides if they're 19 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.959 able to sit down in regular chairs. And that's why they're taking a little 20 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.519 bit of extra time to make sure that everyone is comfortable and seated and that 21 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:45.159 everyone can enjoy the ceremony as short as it will likely be tonight. But 22 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:52.840 like we said, we've got a little bit more rolling in and you are 23 00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.359 listening to FM ninety nine point one kp GM. I'm Tom Davis and this 24 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.719 is the class of twenty three Barnstall High School. We're running just a little 25 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.400 bit behind, but we're gonna have the processional here in just a little bit 26 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.879 with the Barnstall High School guitar class. And they're getting ready right now into 27 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:21.000 a position and they're going over some class minute discussion and they're readying their instruments 28 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.400 for play in just a moment, and of course once that begins, the 29 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.479 ceremony will begin and we'll just turn it over to the ceremony. You can 30 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:35.599 listen to that pretty pleasure. And of course we're recording this and to be 31 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.080 played back in a podcast form a little bit later on, so in case 32 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.120 you didn't quite catch a little bit on the radio, or perhaps you want 33 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:49.680 something for posterity for your filled in grandchildren. He's his nephews who are graduating 34 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.280 tonight. Then we'll be all ready to go with that and you can keep 35 00:02:53.319 --> 00:03:00.120 that. You'll be able to download that from your favorite podcast source. So 36 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.439 once again we are awaiting the beginning. We had a little bit of a 37 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:09.960 h of a delay due to some seating because it's packed here at the lower 38 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:15.439 gym at Barnstall High School. So coming up in just a moment, we'll 39 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.039 turn it over to the guitar class and they will bring you the processional. 40 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:27.919 We're getting the microphones ready at the stand and the ceremonies should begin shortly. 41 00:03:32.080 --> 00:05:54.199 What you need m M M m h.

Today is the day we have all waiting 88 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.720 for me, so I know I haven't at least the third grade. Sorry 89 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.600 misting, then it's not you to me. There's this foote that my mom 90 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.720 used in her soliteratory and speech in nineteen ninety one that still applies today. 91 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:43.080 That are work for him. All I really need to know God in kindergarten, 92 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.320 most of them are really need to know about how to live and what 93 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.559 you do and how do we I learned in kindergarten these things, These are 94 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:56.679 the biggs I've learned. Share everything you played for, don't hit people, 95 00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.600 the things back where you found the clean up your own, don't take things 96 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.879 at our doors. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands 97 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.320 in forty week lush, warm hoodies and help builds are good for him. 98 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.559 The the badst like learn some things that in drawing, see any dance and 99 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.799 play and work every day. So take a nap every afternoon when you go 100 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.480 out into the world, wash up for traffic. The hold again, can 101 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.639 stick together, be aware of wonder the world today is not the same as 102 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.720 a U sad, but these lessons still rimistry I can experish to include a 103 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.159 lessons from high school. The first is to join in to participate. When 104 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:45.600 you join a team for organization theys colligated inline hours, you gat a sticker 105 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:50.000 family. Through team experience, we learn about commitment and hard work and the 106 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.960 driver to succeed even though it might not feel like it. These are crucial 107 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.879 stility after graduation. Once you get your job, you'll need to be a 108 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:03.000 To be part of the team leads the will seeds to make to get up 109 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.320 every day to go to work, and then saying what it means to belong 110 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:11.240 to something greater than yourself. The second high school lesson is to play nice. 111 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.120 I could stand out of here and tell you that my high school experience 112 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.919 was the best and I felt and so long, but I'm not because I 113 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.159 feel like some people do when they to hear it. My freshman for junior 114 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.480 years wore being a principle's kid doesn't have a lot of hurts. No matter 115 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.279 what I did, no matter how hard I worked, someone was always there 116 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.240 to tell me down. And in my I mean that any success I had 117 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.639 was because my mom was the principle. On top of that, both are 118 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:39.919 just needed ruthless. My junior view was so or if I didn't even want 119 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:45.120 to attend school and attempt to avoid the viciousness of some people. This last 120 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.679 year, I anticipated as much as ideal to get the poor high school experience, 121 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.799 and so my advice to my classroom is to just imbrasive. Do not 122 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.000 waste your time when people who are leading. Do not that always get you 123 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.000 down. It's not key it and it's not working. Do not compare yourself 124 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:05.039 to others just because Just be you, be nice and half fun before it 125 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.960 comes out. I honest say thank you for my coaches for putting them with 126 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:13.279 my footgood it so my teacher's familiar with my outgrown personality, and my friends 127 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.240 for all the memories, and last week my favorite, thank you to my 128 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.639 mom for showing me how to be the bigger person, to not bataliate down 129 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.240 to their level of impaturity, to not just high school drama, but with 130 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.799 ron adults too, for supporting all my crazy ideas, my last minute and 131 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.799 late night adventures, and all the nights spent watching Inciatas with you, I 132 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.360 went be happy first Ring and data Faction, and I love you for someone 133 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.480 so excited to get this over with.

The Kenneth athlete Bryan h Okay A un final 141 00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:56.839 word for a crab. I want you to remind you, said, I 142 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.559 want you to remind you, say, Harris said, is it of joy? 143 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.680 Do not go out into this world and compare yourself to others. Do 144 00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:10.640 not go to others to determine whether or not you are successful. Instead, 145 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:18.119 try to embrace these behaviors that are scientifically linked to success. I'm a little 146 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:23.480 bit of a learn and this is actual research. I'm telling you first having 147 00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:29.200 grown mindset. I know we've been working on that for the past four years, 148 00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.039 but I promise there is research that proves the importance of having a positive 149 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:41.640 mindset. Growth mindset alters of how your granning perceives sil your Unfortunately, life 150 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.039 does not give you every day, not so when you have a setback or 151 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:51.200 a failure, treating himself to see it as an opportunity to throw and to 152 00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:57.319 become better. The set that govor is delayed gratification. In the late nineteen 153 00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:03.279 sixties and early nineteen set Standard University the definates an experiment called the marshmallow tests, 154 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:10.160 and they ate children a marshmallow and said you can get it down if 155 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:15.599 you like, but if you wait, I'll you two. Some of the 156 00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:22.559 children ate the marsmallow right away and others waited for the second one. Decades 157 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.920 later, they study they analyze these same children and they determined that those they 158 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:37.720 are waited that withheld the allure of the one horsmallow had behaviors necessary to reach 159 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:44.400 goals that require sacrifice, hard work, and patience. And finally, grit 160 00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.480 grid is the ability to persevere in the pursuit of long term goals despite obstacles 161 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:55.960 and setbacks. The correlation between gritted performance has been studied since eighteen ninety two. 162 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.599 Some researchers believe that grit is a winder driving worse for success than the 163 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:07.359 high que and natural ability. Those who relentlessly pursue what they want have a 164 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:12.839 vigor advantage over those who quit when things are taught. And you can expect 165 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:19.319 tough seasons in your life as you embark on this stage. Remember these three 166 00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:25.440 things have a positive throw of the mindset by believing in yourself and your ability 167 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:30.440 to learn and grower.
