start as Miss Holly Harper English abilities how to terms with your sarcasm and helping us to achieve our fullest potential seniors I'm honored to have been given the opportunity to graduation ceremony for the Whitehall class of 2020 graduation is a double-edged sword because he's amazing and adults who are so excited Futures are also leaving people behind who will sorely miss those kids the sad part is in the side of graduation we're supposed to do today getting I'm going to talk about her and day-to-day decisions that are easy to overlook leadership conference about 15 years ago Icebreaker activities and share out to the group in 10 minutes MSU Extension agent with micro he shifted his paper for a moment to three or four curves stencil down and went to get coffee he later shared out that the Curves in his River were retiring from the military I looked at my paper my River had to culverts a day and a sinkhole I was not oversharing everyone not just Tom and I through their Rivers as of major life decisions really most important things as if those major decisions to find their lives more than anything else. Definition depart his River was calm and pretty straight and mine was a North American version of Homer's Odyssey but still count him among my friends delimitation of these metaphorical Rivers decisions that each person makes so they can essence of a person decisions you make everyday matter more than the major capitalized ones you are all at a point where you have to make major life decisions join the military job or state or country having done all those things I can tell you you might make the wrong choice what if you take all the best information available evaluate carefully and then choose the wrong path is unpredictable times would choose the right path and in the pass itself changes due to reasons beyond your control answer simple choose A New Path you might be knocked back a little to get up reconsider you don't get any but you might get to try the same thing again try something else it is easier to adjust major life decisions than to adjust day-to-day habits of mind and that makes sense because big decisions happen rarely and the little ones are constant because of life is not made important announcements it's made of a series of tiny moments exchange for getting out of my pajamas today I get to give one piece use this event of a major life decision as a time to take stock of the quality of your day-to-day small decisions I've watched you eggnog and I heard you too and sometime adequacy or excellence will you do the right thing or the easy today these are choices that determine your habits of mind and your happiness and they matter more than your job title degree or certificate if you matter what your resume looks like call student to Country School graduation year perfectly Master 2 Concepts it is abnormal and immoral to work between about December 20th until January 5th messages for teachers simply true when we all live by it lesson number to every single thing you do deserves a grade that one is not true and the SAS once you leave the school environment some of you will go into careers where your performance is evaluated but not your overall life your river is not graded the River on a map is graded the small decisions you make are not in this life but they are the key decisions don't show up as a benzo obstacles of the river water of the river itself how close is my sincere hope free to keep on learning sign for calling fall in love do something everyday that makes you just a little bit proud I speak for the entire staff of Whitehall schools when I say that have you watched and stretched and struggle and morph into the other adults you yourselves are accomplishment in our lives that make us proud congratulations 2020 Whitehall high school graduates school is out it is my honor to introduce you to this year's salutatorian for the class of 2020 Audrey Morrison Audrey is accompanied by her grandparents Deborah and Wayne Downey person High School Audrey lettered in football managing two years and cheer three years to plan to attend Helena college and start a degree in nursing welcome Audrey hello fellow classmates today what's a special moment in all of our lives at the end of high school but it's also the beginning of the rest of our lives these last few months of ours senior year have been unexpected but as the saying goes I give you lemons make lemonade first I would like to thank everyone from teachers to friends and family for everything that you all have done and helping leads to the success of today's graduates when I first sat down to write this speech absolutely no idea what to say I restarted the speech more than nine times and I was still at a loss I'm not going to lie I panicked and my first instinct was to just Google it and hope for the best what I had this. It brought me right back to Jane and Harper's class writing an essay turning it in and just hoping for the best I think everyone here can relate to this I am sure these past four years have been a rollercoaster ride of sad hilarious heartbreaking exciting and Unforgettable memories that we will all look back on and smile we are told High School is supposed to be the best four years of our lives and if you blink you'll miss it I can say that as these last four years come to an end that is very true it seems like just yesterday it was the beginning of our senior year and college was still a world away it's fast approaching and I don't know how I will officially manage being an adult when I still look and feel like a 12 year old without a scribe I truly believe that each and every graduating senior has the ability to do great things in life so I believe it's means a person is smart and bad grades means a person isn't is completely false hard work perseverance resilience and determination our daily actions that do not have anything to do with grades as we move forward in school doesn't Define you your transcript or apartheid I'm not the final prediction because all of us are amazing and smart individuals who shine in different ways my classmates we have successfully gone through elementary middle and high school we have gone fashion phases and now we're wrapping up equally awkward High School face more than just acquaintances we are classmates representing the Whitehall High School I will remember your faces as a people who shoved one another out of the way in the hallway the people ice chaired many last and fantastic memories with you can never be completely perfect for what life throws at you and if you struggle remember it's okay to ask for help I wish every one of the best and help you all become the person you've always dreamed of now I leave my favorite SpongeBob quotes I'll remember you all in therapy it is my honor to introduce the valedictorian for the class of 2020 Madison Loomis she has earned a perfect 4.0 GPA for all four years of High School Madison MS daughter of Jim at whs she was a member of the Spanish club for three years she served in her church young women's group for 4 years attended early morning Seminary all how the positions of the class president for four years the student body president for two years was a member of the interact club for 4 years one being vice president in two years being president 4 years in Cross Country 3 years and track 2 years and cheer and two years and drama Madison was a member of The National Society of High School Scholars for 2 years participated in the academic Olympics team for 3 years accomplishment however was a perfect attendance record for all four years she's planning on pursuing a degree in apparel entrepreneurship at Brigham Young University in Idaho this fall soccer Madison hard work has finally paid off we survive freshman year and of course English class of my classmates administrators mentors and friends at whs and helped us get to this day I'd like to personally and God help the person I am today stop by to get to the part where we graduate so I'll keep this short High School searching the internet hours watching all the videos titled the best graduation speech ever I was still at a loss for what I would say to you today you seem I spent all this time waiting for the inspiration to come to me and that was precisely my problem the waiting the past thirteen years of rice and more especially the past four sleepy waiting for this exact moment graduation wishing for our last also been wishing our lives away counting down the days and now we're finally here those days in between the days of waiting and then while we grew up discovered ourselves looking back on. High School actually over did I get the absolute most out of my experience here in the speeches about to regret to say we're sitting here because of all the amazing things accomplished and the bright future that Now lies ahead of us so the lesson I've learned in looking back the action that we can take it moving forward I'd like to share with you piece of advice that I've always carried with me this phrase came for my grandpa on a phone call before my very first cross country meet he said gas left in the tank how often in our lives do a little bit of gas left in the tank waiting for that perfect moment as we've all experienced is don't wait because while you're waiting for that one. you just might be letting a million small moment slip away so you believe in the potential for the small moments to change your life can you think about it it seems so foolish for us to plan so far out ahead we all know we aren't even promised tomorrow do you have is today so instead of waiting for all those things that aren't even here yet so kisan making today that it is my personal challenge to each of you to gas left in the tank use it up everyday and I promise you look fat no wondering what
