I also want you to take a second and think about the one person who changed your life (take a second of silence), now I challenge you to call them tonight and thank her. Note that the person you thought of was not Miley Cyrus or Tom Brady, proving that those who society labels as ordinary are the ones who truly change the world. This should further inspire you to follow your dreams, embrace opportunities, and become who YOU want to be. I want to share with you the wisest advice I received during high school. Ms. VonFeldt said: “When you find yourself at a crossroads, the worst thing to do is to stop. Choose a side and go! If you go left you miss things on the right and if you go right you miss things on the left but if you don't go you miss everything.” I say this is to encourage you, class of 2015, to move forward despite the fear and uncertainty because look around you, you're probably sitting next to the future president, grammar school winner, or athlete. And like all classic stories, the class of 2015 lived happily ever after
