Grad Speeches

The advantage of coming here that because of the small class sizes, you hang out with people different from you. At a large school you can find people just like yourself, but at the Lighthouse you become a well-rounded person because to develop different qualities that come from being around different people.

Whether sports, plays, or trip everything we do at Lighthouse is challengingly fun. This year was the first year we had a swim team. We didn’t expect to go out and win it all, but we tried our best, had fun, and did well, even though most of us didn’t have previous experience.

I am, and always will be aware of what was given to me, and that is the gift of perseverance.

You truly cannot put a price value on character.
