2020 Grads

Page 62 CLASS OF 2020 LINCOLN DAILY NEWS JUNE 2020 flushed into the world, we need to use those tools. I’m sure all those Spanish books seemed pointless at the time, but weren’t you proud of yourself when you went to El Maz and said “por favor” or “no gracias” to the waiter? Trust me, what you learn now will help you. The class of 2020 is coming into the world guns a blazin’, and I don’t think you guys are ready. To my fellow classmates, I want to express how proud I am of each and every one of you. I’ve watched you all grow into who you are today and each of you never fail to amaze me. You are all so smart and so talented in your own ways. Whether you know every single bone in the body, know perfect calculus, know how to gut a deer, or know how to farm; you’ve got a head start. I’m honestly stoked for our future reunions just so I can see where you’ll end up. You guys have some bright futures ahead of you. To wrap things up, I would like to give thanks. I want to thank God for giving me this life and all that it may encompass. I want to thank my parents and family for always supporting and loving me unconditionally. You have always provided me with the best life (even when we lived in a shed… it’s a long story). I want to thank my dearest friends. You guys really anchor me and keep me on the somewhat right path. I will forever be grateful for the tears, laughs, overall excitement we have shared. Next, I want to thank my teachers. From preschool to my senior year, each and every one of you has had a significant impact on my life. You have helped shape and mold me to be the person I am today. I love each and every one of you and I wish we could have spent more time in the classroom together. Lastly, I would like to thank the community. Mount Pulaski is such a special place and always will be. On my hardest days, you have always been so supportive and like a family. Only having 4 restaurants, a Casey’s, and public pool really builds character. But seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for taking the time to watch this and join my classmates and I on this strange and special day. What a long, strange trip it’s been at the Mount Pulaski High School.
