"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6) As Solomon stated in this proverb, we will not depart from what we have learned at PCHS and what we graduate with, will follow us throughout our lives. Graduation is a very important thing for me, it is something that I not only could have done, but something that I did do. It is a ceremony commemorating all that we were, and can't be again, but at the same time what we will be in our near future. All of us have succeeded in more than one way, and I hope each may continue to do so in the near future. As Graduation nears in, and our days fall short as students, just remember: God's wisdom is perfect, it is our understanding that is imperfect. Let us make the wisest choices in accordance with the will of God throughout our lives. We will be known as Christians by the manner of our living, so let us not depart from our Mother's teachings. Finally, let us not forget to thank God for giving us the friends, health, and endurance to have made it this far. Amen and God bless.

Graduation Speech

June 9th, 2007, a date we have all anxiously awaited for for thirteen years. Thirteen years of hardwork, thirteen years of perserverence, and thirteen years of dedication have all lead to this milestone of graduating with with a high school education. And yet, this knowledge does not exist solely on trivial facts, but more so in the relationships and friendships we have made along the way. These aspects of our lives have pushed us and motivated us even when we were down and out, and just seemed like giving up. We are a close-knit family of friends who support each other and that will never forget who we are or where we came from. We are Page County High School's Class of 2007. The most memorable event I have personally had these years is singing the song "Flying Free" in choir. It was a song that taught us that although we may wish in life we'd be without a care and flying free, life in it's very essence is not without clouds, rain, or even pain, and that it passes swiftly by so it is a song we must sing, a gift of love we must share, and a lesson that teaches us along the way. We, as young as we were, had to deal with life's more unfortunate events along the way--September 11th, the war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, and most recently--the Virginia Tech tragedy. These events were not easy, but we are a strong class that has always offered all our love and support to others, humbling ourselves enough to give ourselves away to those who have no way. I stand here before each and everyone of you and say I am proud to have been simply in the presence of such dreamers, believers, thinkers and doers. My fellow seniors, it seems we have been separated prematurely, robbed of even more time to mold into even greater people, than we already are. This past year, I am proud to say that we worked together, one last time, and built one amazing house, for a local family within our own community! What a special landmark of a moment in our lives, to do anything with our time, and yet choose something to do so special! One of the most important things in life is to understand that everything before us today was once a dream, that became a reality. We certainly fall into that category. We define excellence! Some of us will go off to colleges and universities, other will enter the work force. We are each an individual who shines a different color. From our gifts and talents, to our manner of living, we are all unique; but together we form a rainbow. But one thing for sure is, no matter what any of us do, we will rise above any rainstorm, and reach beyond the ends of any rainbow, sail beyond any limits, and rise above any obstacles that may come in our way. We have all shared many journies together, and now we embark on our own, to find out what life has in store for us. What's next you say? well, that's up to us. We set our goals, dreams, aspirations, and it's up to us to decide whether we'll choose stagnation or generativity. It's up to us to accept the reality of seriousness and the beauty that can be derived from it. And it's up to us to remember these past thirteen years of our lives and all the good times we had. I don't know about you, but these thirteen years were incredible, yet don't let them be the best years of your life. You have a long way down the road, and ample amount of memories to make. Life, as shocking as this may sound to some of us, does not end here. It is now time for each of us to depart from our nest, and enter a world that is what we make it. With as many rivers there are out there, one must surely lead us to an ocean full of opportunities. As we narrow down to what we can call, our last moments to fully be together, I'd like to thank all the teachers and staff, the administrative staff, and friends that have made me who I am today. To the class of 2006, I wish you luck, hope, and opportunity. To the class of 2007, lets be thankful we parted as friends and never forget our years at Page County High School. As Mother Theresa once said: "We can do no great things, but we can do small things with great love and that's how the mountains move!" Seniors: Don't let anyone look down on us because we are young, but let's set an example to others in speech, life, love, faith, and purity! (1 Timothy 4:12). Let us walk in life not by sight, but by faith and continue leaving our legacy behind us. To the senior class of 2007, and now PCHS high school alumni, here's to your wildest dreams, and here's to your everything, may your life be blessed, with sweet happiness, Let us not forget this day nor who we are and where we came from.2007 alumni, good luck, God bless, and congratulations!

As Dolly Parton once said: "To get to the end of the rainbow, you've got to deal with the rain first!". Never has this phrase been more appropriate than this day, June 9th, 2007. For thirteen years we have had a common goal in which we have met through our hard-work, perseverance, and dedication: a high school education. It hasn't been easy, seeing the many tragedies in which we have all faced including September 11th, the war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, and most recently the VA tech tragedy, but in the end, we have always found a way to obtain the most positive and strong-willed attitude through it all and gain a lesson in which to apply in our lives. We have learned to humble ourselves enough to give our time and love to many projects all the way up to the construction of a Habitat for Humanity house. I thank my teachers and mentors for being supportive and providing me with a an education not only of the mind, but of my inner-being. Most importantly though, I thank my friends, for showing me that knowledge does not exist soley on trivial facts, but more so on the relationships and friendships we have all made throughout our years at Page County High School. These friendships provide us with a self analysis of ourselves and a motivating spirit to achieve. It seems we have been separated prematurely and robbed of our time here together. However, of the time we did spend together, I am proud to stand before this class of believers, dreamers, thinkers, and even doers, and say that I am a member. We have had many journeys together, and yet now it is time to embark on our own, to find out what life has in store for us. We are each unique in our manner and action, but our future is only as limited as we allow it to be. So what's next? Well, that's up to us. We set our own goals, dreams, aspirations, and it's up to us to decide whether we'll choose stagnation or generativity. It's up to us to accept the reality of seriousness and the beauty that can be deprived form it. And most importantly, it's up to us to remember these past thirteen years of our lives, but not limit them to be our best. There are many rivers out there, one must surely lead to an ocean full of possibilities. As we narrow down to our last moments to be fully together, I'd like to thank everyone for shaping me into the person I am today. To the class of 2008, I wish you luck, hope, and opportunity. To the class of 2007, never forget who you are, where you came from, and how you came to be who you are today. As Mother Theresa once said: "You can do no great things in life, but you can do small things with great love, and that's how the mountains move!". Class of 2007, let's move those mountains! Let's show the world we are not people idleness nor limitations, but people who sail beyond oceans, reach the ends of the rainbows, the ones that climb to the top of the mountains, and look upwards towards advancement. As quoted in 1 Timothy 4:12, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example to others in speech, life, love, faith, and purity!". Let us not walk through life by sight, but by faith and continue to leave our legacies behind us. To the Senior class of 2007, and now PCHS alumni, here's to your wildest dreams, and here's to your everything, may your life be blessed with sweet happiness, let us not forget this day, let us not forget who we are: PCHS class of 2007 alumni, Good luck, God bless, and congratulations!
