welcome members of the Board of Education distinguished guests teachers proud parents friends and above all my fellow graduates I'd like to start by congratulating our class on all of the accomplishments we have achieved to finally be standing here today looking back to where we first began our eighth grade year cut short and our freshman year in quarantine with remote learning it was as if we were thrown into a new world by coming to pcti this school has provided us with opportunities to step out of our comfort zones and has helped to Define who we are as individuals standing here before you I can't help but think of how suddenly our graduation has come and how within a few months everyone here will be a freshman at college or uing their careers and passions after waiting so long counting down the days until it was time to leave it's weird to think how this time has finally come and how soon high school will be a distant memory some memories hopefully more distant than others like elbowing a path through Spirit way the weird smells throughout the school and the occasional Quarry blasts who pretended to ignore apparently these will be the good old days I remember when we I remember freshman year when we sit around in Virtual breakout rooms in complete silence hiding behind our screens reading having to unmute looking at us now we have built such close relationships that freshman year feels as if it were ages ago sophomore year a step toward regaining a sense of reality brought about the change we needed to establish a sense of community and togetherness in our school junior year our first year of complete normaly shaped us into the people we are today and helped us regain that traditional sense of the high school experience now I know senior itis somehow infiltrated our class junior year and it's been going strong these last few months but now that this day has come and we are no longer infected those days of procrastination are hopefully gone as it is now time for us to stand up and take the steps towards the rest of our lives as we leave the school and begin a new chapter we must remember how much we've grown these past few years as we continue to shape ourselves on our new Journey it's hard to believe that high school has only been 4 years and that within the short time we have matured created an identity for ourselves and turned moments into memories that will be forever cherished for so long we saw graduation as the key we needed to unlock the next step of our lives however graduation is only the beginning as we build upon who we are in this moment to construct our lives and live out our passions that are no longer in the distant future in today's world and unstable social climate as children are stripped of the opportunities we take for granted it is on us the graduating class to use the Privileges we have to bring change to our world and create a better future for generations to come I'd like to close with a quote from Dr Martin Luther King Jr who believed that the ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people as we take on our roles in society and our voices gain weight in the world I implore you to use your voices to break the silence and speak for those who cannot be heard standing before you I am proud of the young leaders we have become and I look forward to seeing all the positive changes we can enact in this world thank you and congratulations class of 2024 [Music] our pcti valedictorian for the class of 2024

dictorian for p County Technical Institute Hannah [Applause] [Music] igny good afternoon parents loved ones distinguished guests and most importantly the class of 2024 to our graduation my name is Hannah Muhammad annim and I'm honored to stand before you as your class of 2024 voran to continue the tradition of the victorians before me I was asked to create a speech a good one a memorable one one you would actually take your airpods out to listen to for hours I struggled to find the right words but what I knew was that I don't believe in long speeches so all I ask for is 5 minutes of your time first I want to begin by thanking those who brought me here my parents I honestly could have done anything without you guys coming here and sacrificing everything from Palestine you guys are the the best parents I ever could have asked for I love you my friends you guys have made me laugh so much that sometimes I cried and I don't think High School would have been what it was without you guys my teachers and my coun you guys have helped me on the way here and have helped me figure out the next chapter of my life all while always encouraging me to surpass the limits I've set for myself okay moving on to my fellow classmates the class of 2024 including people who I've had in almost every class and some who this is our first conversation today is a special day for us today is a day where we are ending a chapter and adding another to the book that is our lives and for that let me and everyone here take a moment to congratulate you guys for everything that you became and will become I'm not sure if you see what I see but take a good look around you I'm looking at a field full of doctors lawyers Engineers dancers singers entrepreneurs trade professionals a field full of talent and potential I see people who have dedicated themselves for four long years and have now succeeded I see people that I know will make a difference to the world great G than I can even imagine I'd like to think that we've come a long way since freshman year we went from barely waking up for our classes not even knowing what the people in our classes look like seeing people smile for the first time sophomore year to learning how to drive then how to drive well Googling how to write a good college essay then wondering when the hell FAFSA was going to process cuz it seemed that we were never going to commit and today we sit in these chairs waiting for graduation to be over as we pursue our futures while high school has been a journey of personal growth and Discovery for each of us it's important to remember the world beyond our campus walls to go a little back or maybe a lot back when I was in elementary school I had a shirt with a quote by Mahatma Gandhi that said be the change you wish to be in the world even though like I said today is a happy and special day for us I wanted to live up to that quote a decade later and bring your attention to the fact that unfor Unfortunately today is not a happy day for everyone although we are all sitting here today enjoying our afternoon feeling the warm sun hit our faces not everyone in the world has that privilege rather than feeling the warm sun they are wondering when they will ever get the chance to feel freedom again or even have a chance to get close to the freedom we have here places like China the Congo Venezuela North Korea and palis sign have people who are suffering people who can't afford US taking the easy way out and being silent as we celebrate our achievements today let's also recognize our responsibility to make an positive impact Beyond ourselves together we can make a difference not just in our own lives but in the lives of others worldwide I know I said I was done saying thank you earlier but I want to say my final thanks now while some of you will go to MSU Rucker CN hall or maybe you're going to go a little farther like Arizona or the military I'd like to think that even if today is the last time we see each other the impacts that we have made will remain with us forever high school was a time where we made many friendships and laughed a lot maybe some of us a little too much together we made our years what they are and our memories will tell them people always say that High School were some of the best years of our lives and I hope that isn't true because we all have many more years left to come but it will definitely hold a special place in my heart and I hope it does for all of you as as well so thank you all for being here with me today and I hope you go out of here being the change you wish to be in the world all right guys you can put your airpods back in [Music] [Applause] [Music] now and now I present to you our superintendent John Mayo thank you good evening esteemed
