Gary high school principal Mr Rody lean Gary staff and administration family and friends my name is Ashley Alvarado Valencia and I'm proud to be here as a class of 2025 solidarity this is truly a surreal moment to be here standing surrounded by the faces we've grown up with some since kindergarten and some more recently it feels as if we've leaned and now we're here dressed in our caps and gowns and standing right on the edge of something new I know it's easy to feel scared about what's next growing up sounds like something far away until it's happening to you but aging and consequently changing isn't something to fear rather it's a privilege to grow to evolve and to become the people we're meant to be throughout High School we've learned we laughed we cried but through it all we persevered sometimes we think this moment and this diploma is the end but truly it's just a small Milestone of the many to come there's still so much left to live so much left to learn and thank you so much left to dream so as I stand here before you all today I urge you don't be afraid to make mistakes as you grow into your own person you are worthy of everything good that is coming your way and have you ever forget that remember this feeling the excitement the fear and the love that has brought us all here today I'll finally wrap it up with these words for Lana Dory be the ark the life is living be the soul of the world is living or are you only not forgiving just for taking live life like no 1's listening thank you class of 2025 and now I have the privilege of bringing to the stage our Victorian Mr Leonardo Castro B7 Clan the unmatched class of 2025 my name is Nardo Castro and I'm honored to be here today with all of you up until this moment we've all envisioned this day differently but here we are some of us prefer our outfits hours in advance anxious for the day to come while others wore the same fit they had on for the last under their can you guys which 1 I we all know which 1 is it Laden is of course uh whatever the case here we are at this point in the speech I'm supposed to tell everyone about how successful the class of 2025 is maybe take the time to speculate on the definition success but there is no need because here we are take a look around and you will see success success not only in faculty and students but everyone here especially the families whether it is your parents your grandparents or whoever supported you in your journey your success My Success they think they are here to celebrate your accomplishments graduates sorry but you know that they are here to celebrate their own a class accomplishments because your success tonight is inseparable from theirs also congratulations to those who done it mainly alone after all we're all aware of families can be fragile we often have no control over our daily lives we live in a world that oftentimes in the last few weeks we had to go when we had to go somewhere many thought of the possibility of being detained by Ice even here now many of us consider the idea on the way here and yet here we are many of you many of you will go on to college trade school military but whatever you decide to do ensure that your success continues to be shared with your families and loved ones sharing our success comes in many forms whether be sharing our wealth time for compassion we must give back to those who have allowed us to be standing here today give back by showing up give back by taking time out of your day to listen give back by being everything you are supposed to be which is only defined by you and so there we are and on the theme of giving I give you Gary High School class of 2025 next to the stage our class president Cristina Finch good evening parents Guardian

we've been through these past 4 years this is it today marks the new start in our lives I can finally say after 4 long years congratulations Vikings we made it everyone has had their fair share of struggles maybe they even been expressed out loud or dealt with silently but we pushed through we we did not let those struggles stop us high school has taught us many lessons as of today we're on our own we're not those kids in seventh grade suddenly getting 2 weeks off it's your choice whether or not to use those lessons that have given up until now you might not know where you're going from here on out or you might already have your whole future plan but remember it's your decision on which pet you want to follow although it may not seem like it you have time you have time to decide what you

close with family and friends whether you whether whatever path you choose follow it no 1 knows what you want to do more than yourself I've heard many different opinions about um where to go after high school don't stay close to home or don't go far but at the end of the day it's entirely up to you just do it do what it's probably the question that leaders in your mind but the that's the question you have to answer what do you want to do if your someone else's suggestions that let me tell you let me tell you something life is full of unexpected things you won't know how far you go unless you don't try it regardless of whether it's 25 miles or 1,000 miles is your choice as our time here is now ending I would like to thank class of 2025 we push ourselves to the best of our
