Chapters start off about a boy who was failure
He would often have seizures
His parents always felt he wouldn’t amount to anything
But there is a twist being a bling
The boy who became a graduating High School Senior with honors
In fact, he was the Valedictorian
It was a touching moment as the audience looked on the young man’s openings words
“My life looked like I was put on hold with no dial tone. It seemed there was no inspiration other than the encouragement being my own.
Many nights I often cried while burning the midnight oil in thinking, there is no place for me to fit into this world. It wasn’t until I read the book called, “Achieve beyond your Mind”. It went into depth highlighting that the mind has a function and the concept of excelling or forever losing it. That was when I realized I am the power in thinking with the ability in establishing. I control my destiny where I am the bull’s eye in endeavors. As the speech went on, it was full of enduring encouragement to his fellow graduates. You succeed by making an effort and if you ever stop, you become stale and missing out on reaching your horizon in where you should be heading. However, you achieved what is important from the start and that is education. You proved it by being a High School graduate of today. Some graduates will continue on to College, and while others will test the waters of employment. Our High School has achieved its success in helping us to become the best. Our Teachers and Faculty instilled the concept of when in doubt education becomes the key. Let us as Graduates in using the principles of resource and being the commodity of excellence with the spirit of greatness. If you can see the light then you must walk towards light in giving you direction and success being your indication.
You will receive your award for the fruit of your labor, and that is a Diploma. Now what’s next? That is for you to ponder and continued understanding to get. Understanding comes by living until you have excelled all. In the young man’s closing, we were given a shot in what education was and should be. Let us go out and give the High School our honor and prove to the world that we are more than High School graduates, as we are thinkers and striving movers with a commitment.
It’s vision in look, and establishment in accomplish. The power is within our every thought, speech and walk. Use it wisely, and once again, it is knowledge and concept that you have. Struggles, circumstances and negativity may tell you can’t, but think on our forefathers who thought they couldn’t, but became their own solid breed of educators. It is the YES which simply means, “Yesterday, Education and Success”

After that, the young man received a standing ovation full of applause
His parents having no confidence of their son in the past, but all changed when their son was a product of his own assurance
The young man being an intellect and among
He proved he could achieve and his High School Diploma he did receive
The young man will be attending Princeton University in the fall
As he steps down from the stage, he says best wishes to all.
