(A), come here. I’ve noticed that you’ve been consistently

of careful consideration, you’re fired.

for awhile and I think you’re amazing. You know, all the
mornings you got out of bed no matter how hard it is, all the
times you wanted to give up. But remember there is always a
rainbow waiting to burst forth after the rain.

Uhm, sorry to interrupt but, I was just standing there to get
some air.

 KHEMVERLLY
Good morning, ladies, and gentlemen. It is a great honor to be
here. I would like to express my gratitude to my teachers, my
family and to my friend who helped me to be where I am right
today. A valedictorian, wow. I’m still trying to absorb all of
this. Life has never been easy for me. I faced a lot of
difficulties along the way, but it was those difficulties that
shaped me into what I am today. If you’re tired then, rest,
don’t quit. Stop putting pressure on yourself, trust me, I’ve
been there, you’ve got a long time to figure things out. Don’t
rush and enjoy the show. Thank you
