David. So it's the Wesleyan Christian Graduation much and it's being brought to you
in part by wesley And Christian School, Wesleyan Kinney College. Also we're brought
to you by Barton and I P. Kimmins sheet Metal and No wanna Duncan
your farm bureau agent. We're getting ready to begin in just mere moments.
It's been a stellar year for this group of small but mighty seniors. They
saw a lot of cool things this year, and their sports teams really he
did well and academically well, they're at the time they're the cream of the
crop when it comes to that as well. We now begin our ceremony right
here on K one, the one you trust, dear teachers, honored guests,
families, and fellow WCS graduates. My name is Matthew Marquez, and
it is my great honor to stand before all of you on this momentous occasion
as we celebrate the graduating class of twenty twenty three. I know all of
us are excited to finally graduate, and there's nowhere I'd rather be than right
here representing this class. It goes without saying that all of us could not
have done this alone. So thank you to everyone here, to those who
could not attend, and everyone else. I know many of my fellow graduates
for expecting me to write a funny speech filled with jokes. However, I
was told that inspiring speeches were more appropriate for a valedictorian to give, and
I now understand that high school graduation is a serious matter and potentially the peak
of some of our lives. So I edited this speech and presenting the serious
version without the five pages of jokes about Brady. So to the twelve other
graduates here, classmates and close friends that share this stage with me today,
mark's an important milestone in our lives. It is an end of an era
for us, and as we look towards the future, we should not forget
the journey that led us here. From now on when we look back on
today, we can finally say we made it. So I don't think the
serious thing is going to work out. Let me really start from the beginning.
Dear fellow graduates, teachers that gave us all that homework, and the
guests we might know, also the family that we were forced to invite.
I was required to stand here before you and speak of this graduation. Still,
thank you to everyone who could attend, and to those of you who
couldn't. You can still send money and the special thanks to last year's senior
class because you guys made us look way better. To the twelve graduates that
share the stage with me, also known as the people I was forced to
group to do group projects with, we made it. And although I'm the
one up here giving the speech, all of us have worked hard and are
successful at different things. Many of us have putting countless hours working on our
different passions. Rachel has worked hard, and you're a scholarship for volleyball.
Chase and Drew both have successful businesses that they run. Jordan runs a ranch
and works out a lot firm, and Devey has been going to school for
cosmetology. Brady, well, we're not sure about him. Yet twelve of
my classmates that put in so much hard work and time studying and practicing sports,
it's finally time to enter the new challenge of college. But your gifts,
talents, and work will finally be rewarded and as scholarships you received to
attend university. There are also those that got esport scholarships. I have somewhat
of a reputation for being bad at answering my calls or texts, so some
of my friends say that I disappear every summer and don't respond to anyone.
I'm not sure that these accusations are justified, but they disagree. It might
be partially my fault because every year when school gets out, I promised to
stay in touch, to hang out, and to answer my phone more.
But sometimes that doesn't pan out. It seems like every time life gets in
the way. It's not like I was ignoring your messages because I don't think
you have something important to say, or I just saw your messages and acted
like it was never there. Okay, that probably is the reason, but
regardless, this year is different. There is no next year to come back
to. That's why I'm making this offer to you and promise to follow through
this time. This time will be different. If any of you call or
message me after today, I promise you I will not answer. Okay,
I can't end with that, so I'll end on a serious note. I
want to thank all of you for being part of such an amazing class.
I truly believe our class was something special and unlike any other class graduating here.
I'm honored to be part of this class, and as we go into
the next chapters of our lives, remember this. Hold onto your dreams,
stay true to your beliefs, and never lose sight of the plant God has
for you. Good evening, graduates, family, friends, and Westland Christian
School faculty, thank you for being here today. My name is Nivea Ashlock
and it is an honor to be able to speak this evening on behalf of
Westland Christian Schools graduating class of twenty twenty three, all whopping thirteen of us.
Before I begin, I would like to relieve you all of some dread
by letting you know that because of our humongous class size, you will not
be stuck here all night, listening to names being called for hours upon hours
just to hear the announcement of the one name that you came here for.
So the good news is that hopefully this will be a quick, compainless event.
Now I would like to take a moment to say a special thanks to
all the roles every one of you have played on our journeys up until this
moment. We would not be here today about to walk across this stage if
it wasn't for the many sacrifices, encouragement, support and love that we have
received from you at some point in some way. So thank you again for
all that you have done. As the last class to experience COVID in high
school, or as my Papa calls it, the COVID, I feel it
necessary to give a brief special thanks to the teachers who believed us when we
had network problems during our eight am zoom calls. And another special thanks to
the teacher who took our word for it when we promised we were keeping up
with our Shakespeare reading assignments. Now Here, we are sitting in the same
black fold up chairs that we have sat in for the last four years,
the same chairs in which we have heard countless lectures, participated in endless academic
discussions, and been given many assignments that we knew we'd be staying up till
midnight to complete, but also the same chairs that we have sat in and
laughed till our stomach's hurt, cheered after as in that exam and intimately discussed
our relationships with God and others, growing together as one body of Christ.
If high school has taught us anything, it is that times in the fact
that these are long and years are short, and what once seemed like an
endless moment of laughter becomes a short clip memory. Doctor SEUs once said,
sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
High school has left us with numerous memories, and it is up to
us to use the lessons we have learned from those memories to pave the way
for our success in our future. C Sis also once said, they are
far far better things ahead than any we leave behind. So as we go
forward, it is important that we do not take the moments we have failed,
learned, grown, and succeeded for granted, because they are what have
firmed us into the individuals who are now entering the world. Fellow graduates,
I would like to give you some encouragement in first Timothy four twelve, Paul
writes to say, do not let anyone look down on you because you are
young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct,
in love, in faith, and impurity. While entering a world full of
differing opinions, world views, and cultures. Always remember your impact on the
world will be determined by your love for God and for others. Although we
are beginning this new chapter as young new adults, we have the power to
let all right shine into the lives of others. So even when you feel
that you may not be capable of doing something God is calling you to do,
whether it be because of your age, your position, or any other
circumstances, just do it. God is working on our behalf if we are
willing to allow it. So trusting him and He will make your path straight.
Now, as we are sitting here in the same old black fold up
chairs, back about to walk across the stage and receive a sweaty handshake and
a piece of paper from mister Landers that will release us into the world.
I would first like to challenge you. I want to challenge you to remember
and reflect on the memories that you've formed you into who you are today.
Acknowledge your strengths, acknowledge your weaknesses, and going forward, allow God to
use every part of who you are to pay out his plan for your life.
I wish you all the very best. Congratulations, Class of twenty twenty
three. We did it, and we did it well. I'm never turning
boy and boxed up in the road. Don wrapt you by the restrect you
went to go, So make the best off. Thissn't known, That's why
it's not a question, daughter, lasn't learned it. Time put something dredtable
in the under's right. I help you at the time of your life.
So take the fat out that since their friends enjoying mine and in honor shove
them, got out them. Get time that Jesus mands get on chilm body.
Try of the wilds. Something that intentabe in the end of at the
time by your line. That's something that intent an in the end of that
tide, at the time of your mind. Something on the wall right,
help you have the dime of your life. So talk to Don about the
rest of my lives never gonna be when you turned twenty five, keep thinking
time to ever change, keep going down and convince will always be the same.
You will be coming back. No hanging down is what I want to
do. The track and even God something that she needs to say. You're
being to see right down to you having down the days I want to be
keep so down his man. He's saying, like few without summer night,
keep making on the night in you. I didn't know what you love that
keep you shooting, and he see and you know the got your blue wetstead
home to home until Phoney get so excited, him to get so scared.
I'm laughing at Sis, thinking that's not fair. I'm so crazy as we
come on we meet back all the time to me and you can't sage hell
still me. I'm told now think about tomorrow like we think about now.
Can we survive it that bed? Can we make it somehow? I guess
I thought this will never end, and suddenly, like the mam in,
I will ask be a shadow that fallow us round and will smell of his
game when I meet this channel. I keep keep thinking that to keep back
into time to fly as we read all the time that you we just still
all the time to change. I don't know what you can talk Thomas on
it. I don't need to take a soul. I stepping to your tale
to talk. I should be scanned on your ny so I making any ninety
rods. I ain't running swimming in the class, Am bay. I ain't
worried that I I don't know to the tie, but timas on it.
I was spending like go. I'm never like a magine. I'm not requires
even the number. I'm my mother's manners something. I'm wanting to see it
into many bubble bottles and bottoms of feeling the accession for succession with seeing the
gear. I'm thinking and I ain't running making many ninety worlds. Child.
I worried. It's my privilege to introduce tonight's speaker. I met this young
man when he was second, third, fourth grade, I can't remember an
elementary school. And then he came to h I was his principal for four
or five years, and then he came when he came back, he taught
under me for three or four years. And I can honestly say that he's
probably said less than a thousand words to me in the entire time. But
I learned that he doesn't speak very often. When he does, you need
to listen because he's pretty wise, and I think this class has learned that
too, so please help me. The welcome Cameron Middleton. By the way,
I didn't know who was reading and wasn't so I saw your scores.
But I'm if you haven't run mc McBeth, you need to because it's pretty
fun. But thank you mister Cloud and mister Landers for having me. I'm
really honored to be here with this class on me the fourth, a very
important day in my life and for people like me, you know, the
nerds. A few weeks ago, Jackson was at my house and came to
get some firewood because we had in the windstorms, we had a bunch of
trees fall down. And he told me that this was a couple of days
after I had been chosen to speak, and he told me the class pick
me for two reasons. They didn't want someone to give a forty five minute
sermon, and they wanted someone to make fun of Brady. So I can
guarantee you on the first one and the second one. Sometimes it just slips
out, okay, So speaking in graduation, I said yes, because it's
actually a really low pressure situation. I don't know if you're like me,
or maybe you're not. But I've been to like probably a dozen graduations of
high school and college and I can't tell you what anybody said at any of
them, any of the speakers. At my own graduation, I had a
relative that was speaking and I don't know what he said, and I was
right there. So the good news for me is there's pretty low pressure,
low stakes. My goal then, with that in mind, is I'm not
going to come up here and give you some life altering wisdom you've never heard
of before, because that's just probably unlikely. What I do want to do
is encourage you, and this time and this season, as you move to
a new step, a new chapter, I want to encourage you and maybe
hopefully tell you some things that will ring true for you, maybe not this
year, but hopefully in the years to come. So for everyone else here,
sorry, I'm really hearing this at these guys, I hope that what
I say ring true for you also, but my focus is on them.
But the good news is, again, it's not gonna be forty five minutes,
so we're gonna get out of here first. Before I do any of
that, though, I'm gonna break a rule that I know I told you
when I was your English teacher. And I'm gonna say up front, i
am not an expert. Okay, when he wrote papers you weren't supposed to
do that. I'm gonna break the rule. I'm not an expert. I'm
not a pastor. I'm not a life coach. I'm not some wise old
man who sits on his tree stump and like gives out fortune cookie stuff.
All I am is someone who's spent quite a few years with this class,
and who mostly enjoyed that time, and who is rooting for them now as
they move forward. It wasn't all that long ago that I was sitting in
your seat. We did a little differently when I graduated. We didn't have
our own row, so that's cool. But as I was thinking back about
what to say and thinking about how I felt on that day, I just
kind of focused on some things I wish someone would have told me when I
was in your seat. And you know, if you played basketball for me,
I like to pick a word or a phrase for each season. That
was just I'm a words guy. I'm an English ranger. And so as
I thought about, like, what's a word for this class in this moment,
The word that kept coming back to mind for me was opportunity. This
season of your lives, it's kind I've already started and it will continue,
is one of great opportunity. Graduation is not a finish line, despite what
anyone maybe told you, but it is a milestone, a rite of passage
to demonstrates that you have done what you've been asked to up to this point.
Some of you have done that with enthusiasm and eagerness, some of you
who were dragged here by your parents and teachers. But the point is you
made it. You got here, okay. So now with that in mind,
you're launching into this new stage in your life, whether that's college or
you go to work or whatever else, and for the first time, you
are completely in control of what happens. You were completely in charge of what
comes next for you, and that is a really big opportunity. When I
was your age, it was a really scary burden. I felt it like
really heavy. I remember my graduation day. I was terrified, what if
I picked the wrong college. What if I didn't like my professors that much?
I really liked my high school teachers. What if I don't like my
professors, what if my roommate is weird and he was. What if I
never find a job and I end up just totally failing. You See,
when you're in school, the nice part about school, the part about school
I really liked, was that every like year, you know what's next.
Right when you're done with kindergarten, you go to first grade, assuming you
passed. You when you're done with eighth grade, you go to high school,
assuming you passed. And now at this moment, like what's next is
pretty much up to you. You're the captains of your own destiny. Now.
I know for some of you, your family probably gave you, like
maybe very specific instructions of what's next, but in general, you are now
considered adults by society, right even though it's an arbitrary thing, and you're
in charge of and responsible for what happens to you from here on out.
Obviously your family will still love you and all that, but like it's on
you now. So well, I said, when I was your age,
that was like a burden that was really heavy. I remember my graduation day
like for like an hour that afternoon, like I just like was so overcome
by that, Like I just cried for like an hour when I on the
day of my graduation. It's not something I'm proud of. And it actually
kind of is funny when you look back on it, because, like,
who would want to stay in high school? But I was terrified because I
had all these decisions in front of me, and what if I make the
wrong one? What's next? My hope is that you view this moment not
as a burden but as something of an opportunity. You are never going to
be this age again. For some of you that's like, oh, thank
goodness, but you'll never be this age again. And well, we know
from brain research tell us that right now your brains are actually still developing.
So right now you're creating the habits that are going to make you the person
you are in five years, ten years, fifteen years, and so on.
And that opportunity is something I want to emphasize for you today. I
don't super like garden metaphors, but I'm going to use this one. Right
now, your life is like a brand new flower bed. Right, you
get it all cleaned out, you bring in new dirt, and it's super
clean and it's awesome. Right, there's no weeds, It's ready to go.
That's what you are right now, right like you have more or less.
I mean, you still probably have some bad habits, but you're still
pretty young. You get to pick what you plant, right, You can
pick the plants that you bring in, what seeds that you're going to sell
now, it's up to you. So the habits that you're instilling in yourselves
right now are going to stick easier than they will when you're twenty five,
thirty, or forty five. If you don't believe me, ask your parents.
It's way easier to start something now than it is going to be later
priors twenty six or twenty two six. Excuse me, is that if you
start children off on the way they should go when they're older, they will
not turn from it. Now. It's a weird verse for graduation because they're
not really kids, but you kind of still are in that training phase,
the difference being now you're the ones directing that right. You get to pick
what's next. So I'm gonna talk about some things that I hope you consider
in this critical time of opportunity. And I remember, I'm not an expert.
These aren't commands. These are just things that I wish someone would have
said to me when I was an eighteen year old who was freaked out about
what came next. Every week has one hundred and sixty eight hours. I
did the math. Mister Jordan can check me on it later if he wants.
Everyone in this room has one hundred and sixty eight hours of every week.
The biggest lie, I don't know if you know this, The biggest
lie we tell ourselves and we tell other people, is the lie of I
didn't have enough time. It's just almost never true. If Brady can get
up at five in the morning to go get football cards or basketball cards or
whatever nonsense he was doing, then we have time for stuff, right,
like we can all limit that. Well, we really mean when we say
that is actually that thing you asked me to do wasn't that important to me,
so I didn't do it. But of course we don't say that because
that would be rude, and your parents taught you not to be rude.
But that's I mean in reality, right when you go to your professor and
say, hey, I didn't have time, what you mean is actually did
something else with my time. Time is our most diable resource, right A
lot of us thing maybe it's money or cars or the stuff we have.
Your time is your most diable resource. May not seem like it when you're
eighteen, but I promise you that's true, and learning to become the master
of our limited time is a worthwhile pursuit. If you spend some of your
energy right now, at this age, trying to figure out how to become
the master of your time, you will reap benefits later in your life that
are going to instantly set you apart from like ninety percent of everybody else,
right, because there's just a lot of people who just float through life.
So with that in mind, right, I came up with kind of three
areas. Again, not a sermon, but there are three points. So
take that what you will. And I look, I don't expect you to
think about this right now because you're like half an hour from cake and graduation
stuff, but hopefully right in the coming days we'll maybe think about this.
So the first one is take stock of how you're spending your time. Your
generation is probably maybe not exactly the first is the first to grow up with
an infinite supply of things to distract you and stuck up your time. Probably
right now, I'm going to guess all thirteen. You have a computer in
your pocket, a phone in your pocket that would blow the minds of scientists
from forty or fifty years ago, like there would be. They have no
idea what to do with it. On that computer, you have thousands of
hours of movies and TV shows and games and memes and YouTube videos and whatever
else you're doing that I don't know about because I'm one hundred and fifty years
old. But you have all of that all the time. I'm not suggesting
that you go into the ocean and enjoy your phone and just get rid of
it. I do think probably life would be better if all of us did
that, but I don't think the world could work that way. But I
am saying, periodically, take time. Take stock of your time and how
you're using it on that device and on the dozens of devices you have in
your rooms at your house. Okay, those things are not bad things.
They'll let me be very clear, they're not bad things. But they can
become bad if you allow them to master your time. For you, I've
seen it happen. I've probably told you stories of people i've seen it happen
with. So every now and then, right, put your phone down,
take a weekend off, go read a book you liked when you were a
kid, go to the park, or maybe next time you're with a friend,
instead of like having your phone for ice creamer coffee, just leave it
in your car and just like see what happens. Many of us, and
I'm including myself in this, let our time be controlled by the device instead
of controlling the device to benefit her time. So that's the first thing,
right, big big picture stuff. Secondly, the second most valuable resource I
think that we have is our physical bodies, these physical things. Right in
a few minutes, you're gonna walk across the stage, and you probably learn
in science like all the different complicated things that have to take place just for
you to get up and walk across the stage. That probably makes you realize,
like, hey, this is a pretty special thing that God gave us.
You only get one of them until I guess robots come and you can
like transfer your consciousness or whatever. But that's probably not happen anytime soon.
So you get one one of these physical bodies, you need to take care
of it. You need to find a way to exercise that you enjoy and
make it a part of your habits. Make it part of your life.
For me, that's playing basketball and going for a run. My wife said,
I'm not gonna go for run, So I'm gonna go to kickboxing class
twice a week. Whatever it is for you, I don't really care,
honestly, But whatever it is for you, find something that's good for you,
that's healthy. Make it a part of your habit. Make it a
part of your habits now at eighteen seventeen, eighteen nineteen, so that when
you're thirty forty fifty you don't have to do it so with such difficulty.
One of the things I regret about my college years is that I had this
really nice gym like that I was actually paying for, and I'd hardly ever
went because I had other stuff going on right I didn't have time. I
didn't take advantage of that opportunity enough. If you prioritize your health right now,
you will be so far ahead of the game when you're my age older.
Again, ask your parents. And by the way, this does include
like what we eat too. At some point, I promise you your metabolism
is going to slow down. You're not gonna be able to go to tacubell
at eleven at night with no repercussions. Like you, there will be a
day that hits and it will be a sad day, but you will have
to like, oh, I can't do that anymore. I'm not saying that
we all have to go full vegan or anything, but having a balanced diet
now probably not a bad idea, so that when you're ten years from now,
you're not coping down kale smoothies every morning. Some people are laughing because
they have to do that. Lastly, the final thing, the most important
thing, is that this season of your life, these next four or five
six years, can become, if you let it, one of the most
spiritually rewarding times in your entire life. I meant freely. Okay, I'm
gonna tell you telling myself here, I didn't do a very good job of
this. When I was your age, like you, I grew up in
this WCS bubble, and I did all of the things that you do in
the VC's bubble. Right, we have chapel, you have Bible class every
day, and like, oh that's great, I'm I'm a good kid or
whatever. Then after that, I went to college and I went to Christian
College, and then we started having chapel three times a week and I still
have Bible classes. And I was like, oh, I'm a you know,
it's a different bubble. It's a bigger bubble, it's still a bubble.
If you make a habit now of taking time with Jesus, read the
Bible, pray, don't give you a lot of time. But if you
make that a habit every day part of your life, now, that's going
to stick with you ten, fifteen, twenty years from now. I really
believe that God blesses that time. Even if it feels like, man,
I don't really understand what I'm reading, or God's not really listening to my
prayers. I've not really I don't feel like he's hearing me. I promise
you that time is not wasted. It's never wasted. And as an aside,
since we did Worldview, it's a lot harder for the nonsense of the
world and the lies of culture to get into your mind and in your heart.
If your heart is rooted in the Bible and in Jesus, just it's
way more difficult. And by the way, the same thing goes for church.
One thing I actually did well of, or well at, I think
in college as I went to church. Even though we had chapel three times
a week, I still felt like I should go to church, and I
often went by myself, and I didn't really like that very much. But
I look back on those times now, those lonely Sunday mornings of sitting in
the back of a church that I barely knew anybody, as being really important
for my spiritual growth in my relationship with Jesus. I had to trust that
he was still working, even though I didn't really understand it, and I
didn't really know why it was this way. I've seen friends that have given
up on that that has not been a habit of theirs, and they have
let that kind of fall by the wayside, and you know, because they
got out of the bubble and then they just wasn't part of their life.
It wasn't a habit, it wasn't deeply rooted. So I'm just urging you
next fall, wherever you end up with our college, whatever, wherever you
end up next fall, find a church you like that preaches truth, right,
and make sure it preaches truth. But find a church you like and
make sure you're there more often than you're not. I really believe that God
blesses that obedience, even if it doesn't maybe feel like it in the moment
and it's lonely because maybe you're by yourself because your roommate's weird and he doesn't
want to go with you. But I really believe that God blesses that obedience,
and I really lived back on those that season of my life as being
one of the most enriching in hindsight because I was faithful, even though I
didn't see the results of that until later. So we're not at forty five
minutes. Those are my kind of my big three things to think about.
Okay. To close out, I'm going to quote a scripture passage that you
may or may not know. Hung in my classroom, my last classroom up
here before I left, and I didn't really make a big deal of it
because I had to decorate because they said you have to decorate, even though
why I'm a man, I don't want to decorate. But I decorated,
and I had this verse above the door because I this was my prayer for
my students, right this verse. Everyone who came in and out of my
classroom. I wanted that for them. Okay, so it's still my hope
for you. Even though you're not my students anymore. I still I'm going
to say this over you, and I hope you know this is still what
I desire for you in the future. Okay, So this is from numbers,
chapter six, verse twenty fourth to twenty six. The Lord bless you
and keep you. The Lord make his face shine on you, and be
gracious to you. The Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace
and joyless opportunity, but also make the most of it. Thank you for
having me speak. Thank you very much. St. Nettleton, great words.
Um. So, now is the time of the awarding of diplomas.
Also during this time when we award diplomas, we also give a gift to
seniors from US Wesleyan Christian School. And we believe that the greatest thing that
we can hand off to them is the Word of God. And so we
h and we know that different students may have uh some Bibles at home,
but they're in the outsides of the Bible. We do have some teachers who
have signed put some scripture verses for you guys to consider and think about.
And just know that these are people that are going to be praying over you,
not just now, but continually. You are not just part of our
lives now, but will always be a part of WCS and the lives of
those of us who work here. So now it is time for us to
present the seniors their diplomas. Seniors, if you'll take your place, Mister
Josh Pruvy, our board president, will be handing the diplomas and I will
hand the bibles. Nevada Ashlock H. That's the best. Rachel, Elizabeth

Ladies and gentlemen. I present to you the Wesleyan Christian School graduating class of
two thousand and twenty three. MM after our Pastor Joe prays for us,
and we appreciate so much, first Wesleyan Church, who does so much to
support the ministry of Wesleyan Christian School, and who had a passion to start
a Christian school many years ago. And so we're so thankful for that.
And so we are asking Pastor Joe Fiel come and pray for us. As
soon as he finish his prayer, our students are going to march out,
and then we ask you to stay here with us and spend a little time
looking at the students boards and enjoying some refreshments. Thank you so much for
coming. Let's pray together. Almighty God, we praise you. And very
often we come to a graduation and we think of the end, the end
of high school and the beginning, and the scripture is filled with the words
in the beginning. This is a time of beginning. Make this be an
extraordinary time of beginning, a new step, a new part of life,
and looking to the future for the ways we can advance the Kingdom of God
and bring you honor and glory. I pray for your spirit to be on
each one of these graduates, protect them mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally,
financially, vocationally, relationally, and guide them in every step of their
walk to God be the glory Amen. Even listening to our broadcast of the
