It’s the first day of school‚ and the warm welcome that I was expecting from my fellow classmates has yet to come. In every class‚ I’ve been introduced as “The new student who immigrated from Honduras‚” and without fail‚ my peers have all given the same reaction.

Thank you for joining us for the 11th Graduation Ceremony. We are gathered here to celebrate the end of a successful voyage. Four years ago‚ we unknowingly set foot on a path that would ultimately shape us into the individuals that sit before you today. Right now‚ it’s tempting to try to sum up the past four years.

I find myself to be a very photogenic person. Birthday parties‚ vacations and other special events are all recorded in photographs in my room. One specific picture hanging up on my wall‚ is forever engraved in my mind. I often catch a glimpse of it in the evenings when I come home. I grab it‚ lay on my bed and go back to the best night of my life. The image in the 4x7 thick rectangular photograph was a moment captured by my father. Later on he told me that he had never seen me that happy‚ ever!

There’s an old Beatles song that begins: "There are places I remember all my life‚ Though some have changed Some forever‚ not for better Some have gone and some remain." It seems to me‚ when we look back at our years at Thomas Middle School‚ we will have many of the same feelings. Who can forget Rory getting stuck in a mudpit at Loredo Taft? Mr. G’s inspired reading of "The Tell Tale Heart?" When Mr. B electrocuted the whole classroom? Or getting the chance to pie a teacher when
