Our time to shine has come

It is an honor to stand before you as the 2024 Valedictorian. First, I would like to thank my mom for always believing in me, and being there when I needed her the most. But most importantly thanks for always packing my lunch and making my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every morning. I also want to thank my dad for taking me to sporting events and giving me advice even when I don’t want it and thanks for sitting in the outfield at baseball games so no one can hear you. Also, to my brother, grandmas, grandpa, aunts, uncles, and family friends that have helped me grow into the person I am. Thank you. It takes a village.
