Good Evening
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished faculty and administrators, friends and family, and, of course, the International Community H.S class of 2015. I am very glad to have this chance to talk to all of you at once. The sad truth is that this is probably my last chance to do that.
We all accomplished one of the major early milestones of our lives: high school graduation.

This wonderful piece of paper in this world, opens many doors of opportunity for anyone who is lucky enough to have
