Saying goodbye to senior year is like closing a chapter of your life that’s been filled with so many memories, lessons, and growth. It’s a bittersweet moment, filled with excitement for the future but also hints of nostalgia for the moments that have passed. As you reflect on the past year, remember all the challenges you’ve overcome, the

H ello friends and family, as your class of 2024 Salutatorian. Before I begin I would like to give a quick shoutout to my family and friends that have helped me succeed all throughout my thirteen years. But I teachers and administrators, and finally class of 2024. It is an honor to be here today
YOU ARE THE STARS OF TOMORROW!
do want to give a solo shout-out to my father for pushing me with hard work and dedication and installing that into me to become a better student. At the beginning of my senior year, I found out I was in the running for this title and I worked hard for it, sacrificed, and even stressed about this. But I eventually got it. So class of 2024 if you can look to your left then to your right we are no longer high school students, we are graduates. These past four years have been nothing but emotional, stressful, eventful, exciting, and even an impactful roller coaster. Although we started high school in the middle of a pandemic we made the best of it and now we are graduating in person. Even if you had negative effects due to this pandemic, glad we are here today and cherishing the ones we lost along the way. Just knowing they are here in spirit matters. If we can take it back to first grade when teachers would ask us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Some of us had common careers such as doctors, lawyers, police officers, firefighters, etc. I remember saying I wanted to be a doctor well growing up and becoming an adult. I realize that’s a lot of more school. I’m just kidding in case someone is a doctor in this room. But I finally settled on earning a bachelor’s degree in Business Entrepreneurship at Arizona State University. I would like to thank my fellow classmates at Maricopa High School and Maricopa Virtual for the past four amazing years. I would also like to thank my bus friends for making that experience fun. And thank you to my sophomore chemistry class for always putting a smile on my face. Especially Kevin, Kallai, and Mariah, we gave Mrs. Flores a run for her money but we can also say we made
friendships you’ve created, and the experiences that have shaped you into the person you are today. Take this time to celebrate your achievements, both big and small, and to thank those who have supported you along the way. Whether it’s your teachers, friends, or family, they’ve all played a role in your journey, and their guidance and encouragement have been invaluable. As you prepare to embark on the next chapter of your life, remember to cherish the memories you’ve made and carry the lessons you’ve learned with you. Senior year may be coming to an end, but the adventures that lie ahead are just beginning. So, here’s to closing one chapter and opening another, filled with endless possibilities and new opportunities. Cheers to the end of senior year and the start of an exciting new journey So Goodbye to the familiar faces that have become like family, to teachers who’ve inspired and challenged me, and to mentors who’ve guided me with wisdom and care. As you embark on new adventures, carry with you the lessons learned and the bonds formed, for they will shape the path ahead. Lastly, I would like to end this chapter of our lives with a verse from Miley Cyrus that sums today up. “ I can almost see it, That dream I’m dreaming, but There’s a voice inside my head saying “You’ll never reach it” Every step I’m taking, Every move I make feels, Lost with no direction, My faith is shaking, But I, I gotta keep trying, Gotta keep my head held high, There’s always gonna be another mountain, I’m always gonna wanna make it move, Always gonna be an uphill battle, Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose, Ain’t about how fast I get there, Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side” Thank you.
