My son, Valedictorian of Monroe Local Schools Class of 2008, gives a graduation speech.

John encouraged his classmates to “apply what you have learned, don’t let the years you spent in high school go to waste.” He references 70’s philosophical lyrics from Pink Floyd’s, “Time” here:

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

In conclusion, John said, “Always make the rest of your life, the best of your life.”
