We didn't 220 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:30.519 understand back then, however, is to draw up with the 221 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:36.440 same classmates. Most people changed schools, movecouns, and drift apart, 222 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:42.119 but not through great knees, birthday parties and school assemblies. 223 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:43.559 We stuck together. 224 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:52.240 As I call your claims. Please sam Kindergarten wasn't exactly thrilling. 225 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.319 We said goodbye to Adrian Jeffers and gained the new 226 00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.880 friend and Killian Osborne. We were still learning the ropes 227 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.920 of school, lining up in straight lines, not talking about 228 00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:11.039 story time, well, trying not to, and figuring out how. 229 00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.759 To write our names the right way. 230 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:18.640 It was quite a year, but the foundation was something bigger. 231 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:23.240 In first grade, Elizabeth Odin decided to give her the 232 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:27.559 hornets a try. That's when our class started to get 233 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:32.160 some personality, just a little loud and a little wild, but. 234 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.559 Always and entertainment. 235 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.359 Second grade went viol in a blur, but third grade 236 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:44.400 brought big change. When I left that year, that class 237 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:45.720 felt different without me. 238 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.279 I like to think they missed me a little. 239 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:55.519 Fourth grade rolled around an Adrey return, bringing her fire 240 00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.000 and sass with her. That's also the year we started 241 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:05.720 testing the limits of limits are and teachers. 242 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:09.480 We entered the rebellion for the beginning. 243 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:14.680 Let's say, energetic missus Johnson must have been feeling bold 244 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.960 because she led us this bicect frogs with when we 245 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:20.680 still weren't sure. 246 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:24.559 Educational or experimental chaos. 247 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:30.880 In fifth grade, Adrian and Elizabeth both left again and 248 00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:32.680 things settled down sort of. 249 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:37.400 Miss Davis never let us forget who caused all the trouble. 250 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:43.519 Her favorite line, it is always my boys and never 251 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.359 my girls. 252 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.599 And let's be honest. She wasn't wrong. 253 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:53.119 But maybe that's why all the girls in the class 254 00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.559 were as tough and as funny as they are today, 255 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:01.960 because they had to deal with us boys for years. 256 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.960 Jun or my Game, And with it came the drama, 257 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:11.000 the awkward phases, and of course new friends. Elizabeth came 258 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.559 back again. We're sensing a theme here. We welcomed Gavin 259 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:20.640 Scott and Carson Woodworth. We brought fresh and energy, and, 260 00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:25.039 let's be real, a lot of charcasm. Seventh grade was 261 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:28.920 full of changed Zach left and non Long came to 262 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:33.160 the COVID showed up and flipped everything upside down. 263 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.440 Suddenly, the lunch table conversations. 264 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:41.000 The hallway laughter, the routine of seeing each other every. 265 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.640 Day, it all stopped. We had to grow up fast. 266 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.839 Learning from home wasn't easy, neither was being a part, 267 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:52.160 but it made us stronger. 268 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:54.519 And more appreciative of our time together. 269 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.440 In eighth grade, our class slightly changed with the addition 270 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.599 of Ours in Love, also known as nikes, no one, 271 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:09.400 no no faces after allie, and no dramatic exits, just 272 00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:16.920 us getting used to a world that had changed overnight. 273 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:21.839 High school finally arrived and with it brand new mix 274 00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:28.079 of personalities. Freshman year we joined by Cameron Van Callon 275 00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:31.640 Lowe and Cole Smith, who quickly became. 276 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.559 The part of the new crazy. 277 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:39.640 Sophomore year, we added Jared Shambles, Gauge Hole, and Zach 278 00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:43.880 came back this year, this time for good. Junior year 279 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:49.559 gave us school high school experience, sports, late nights, study sessions, 280 00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:56.640 bonding over stress. We gained Jacob Powell, and after the 281 00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:59.799 year we joined felt like home. 282 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.319 And then finally, senior year, the year we had been 283 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.319 counting down to this since first day of freshman year, 284 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:16.279 Mason Street and Jackson Hymen made a great decision and 285 00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:18.240 joined us to finish third. 286 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.400 Year at Copan. 287 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.200 We've learned a lot, not just from books and lectures, 288 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.640 but from each other. We learned how to support one 289 00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.960 another when things got hard, how to laugh even when we. 290 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.759 Were retired, and how to talk way too much in 291 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:35.759 class without getting caught. 292 00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:44.000 Well, sometimes tonight is more than just the ceremony. It's 293 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:49.079 a celebration of everything we've been through together. We fortunately 294 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:55.039 to be here graduating from Copan High School, a place 295 00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:59.599 that gave not join us education, but a second home. 296 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.880 Our class has been loud, chaotic, and. 297 00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:07.519 Funny, and sometimes completely out of control, but we've also 298 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:12.119 been independent, hard working, and responsible. 299 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:12.559 Beyond our years. 300 00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:18.000 We didn't expect a total a typical senior year because 301 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:24.640 we weren't a typical class. We were students who worked jobs, 302 00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:31.359 take college classes, and juggling online school like pros. We 303 00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:35.720 started building our lives earlier than most and something to 304 00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:41.640 be out to my classmates. Thank you for being kind 305 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:46.599 of people who push boundaries, ask questions, and aren't afraid 306 00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:47.720 to be yourselves. 307 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:51.599 I am proud of every single morning.

First of all, 322 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.960 let's hear it for us. We made it after four 323 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:16.759 years of early mornings, late nights, last minute's assignments, stressful tests, 324 00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:21.519 hauling laughs, and unforgittable memories of word. Here this moment 325 00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:25.799 isn't just about closing a chapter. It's about recognizing the 326 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:28.839 story we've written together and the people who helped us 327 00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:29.599 along the way. 328 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:34.119 To our teachers, thank you. You've been more than educators. 329 00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:38.519 You've been patient guides, motivators, mentors, and, on some days, 330 00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:42.839 unofficial counselors. You believed in us when we struggled to 331 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:46.000 believe in ourselves, and you reminded us that learning is 332 00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:49.599 about more than grades. It's about growth. Thank you for 333 00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:52.759 seeing potential in us even when we were too tired, 334 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:54.880 too stress, or too stubborn to. 335 00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:56.079 See it ourselves. 336 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.000 To our families, your support was a foundation that kept us. 337 00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:02.160 Thank you for your. 338 00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:05.240 Every ride to school, every pack lunch, every. 339 00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:09.079 Word of encouragement After a hard day and every celebration, 340 00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:10.359 big or small. 341 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.880 Your love is the constant behind the scenes, and we 342 00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:17.480 are grateful beyond words to my fellow classmates. 343 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:21.799 What a ride has been. From freshman dinners to senior celebrations. 344 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:23.039 We've grown up together. 345 00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.519 We've shared inside jokes, awkward phases, sleepless nights, and those 346 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.480 moments of pure joy that all we high school can offer. 347 00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:34.079 We've all beense halls, not just as students, but as 348 00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:37.599 a community, leaning on each other, challenging each other, and 349 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:40.119 a writing one another that we're not alone in this. 350 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:43.599 And now we stand on the others of something new, 351 00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:47.319 the future. Some of us have a clear plan, hoods 352 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:51.799 and military, a job lined up. Others are still figuring 353 00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:55.720 it out, and that's okay. Life doesn't come with road map, 354 00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:58.920 and sometimes the most meaningful past are the ones who 355 00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:00.640 make for ourselves along the way. 356 00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:02.519 Here's what I've learned. 357 00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:06.359 Success isn't about having it all figured out. It's about 358 00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:10.079 showing up, staying curious, and refusing to settle for less 359 00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:13.000 than what sets your soul on fire. Be proud of 360 00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:16.000 where you come from, carry your roots with you, but 361 00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:19.039 don't be afraid to go beyond them. Whether your dreams 362 00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:21.680 take you across the world or back home again, and 363 00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:25.960 chase them even if no one else understands, even if 364 00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:29.359 they seem too big or too bold, because the world 365 00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:33.680 doesn't need more people playing it safe.
