G2 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 JUNE 10, 2021 Lynnfield High School Valedictorian Anthony Zhang delivers his speech during commencement. The Class of 2021 — pioneers and survivors Anthony Zhang Valedictorian For most of us our journey began here in kindergarten. Now, 15 years later, we're gathered together for the last time as a class. It seems like just yesterday we entered the halls as freshmen. I remember the upperclassmen that time would fly by. After having our junior year cut short, this year was the first time some of us couldn't wait to get back to school. I don't have any motivational quotes or inspiring advice to give. That's because everybody this year knows what it means to be resilient. We have survived it all. As we sit here together it is ironic how although we each have a different background and story and a different future we're all here with the same caps, gowns and the same diplomas. All of our journeys have been unique but the symbol of our accomplishments is the same. That's the beauty of this. Today is a celebration of both community and uniqueness. Whether your passions are in the classroom or on the stage or in this very field, you're all here in one place, you're all pioneers. That's why I have no advice to give you've already done it yourself. You've each survived your own obstacles and despite it all have forged your own path. I have no advice because everything you've achieved is because of the decisions that you have made. These decisions have changed us and led us to who we are today. Look back to that first day of high school and see how different you turned out. We have learned in every sense and for better or worse could not always control how we changed. It's easy for us to look back at the past year and be discouraged. However, ahead of us lies life. And trust me when I say this the relationships we build along the way are the real memories you will have. Before we walk across the stage I ask you to look around. Look around and see how different you are. Look around and see the people who have changed you. Before we go our separate ways, think about how long ago that first day really was. Think about how fast things have gone by and realize the next 13 years of our lives will go by just as fast. Congratulations to the Class of 2021! Wishing you the best of luck! “Do all the other things, the ambitious things - travel, get rich, get famous, innovate, lead, fall in love, make and lose fortunes… but as you do, to the extent that you can, err in the direction of kindness.” - George Saunders Maria Salzillo Vice President, Realtor® Special congrats to my daughter, Chiara! 508.527.6910 | mrsreagent@gmail.com| MrsRealtorAgent.com
