HACKLEY HACKLEY REVIEW
COMMENCEMENT SUPPLEMENT 2020
As we reflect on the challenges of the 2019-2020 academic year, we are reminded of our united strength and of the ways in which our community exemplifies our core values through the best and worst of times. Our community demonstrates each day what it means to be united in helping one another, reminding us that at Hackley, character and unreserved effort are more than words. While the 2020 end-of-year events were different, they were nonetheless special. In the pages that follow, please join us in celebrating the anniversary of your student’s graduation.

Fourth Grade Recognition Day Director of the Lower School Lisa Oberstein celebrated members of the fourth grade in a virtual Recognition Day Ceremony held on June 4.
Welcome Class of 2028! Welcome families, as well as many teachers and administrators, to our first ever virtual Fourth Grade Recognition Ceremony! This year has had its moments of both positivity and challenge, full of exciting experiences, as well as difficult ones. I am thrilled to have gotten the chance to be your Lower School Director, to spend some time with you both on campus and virtually, but also sad that it was only for one short year. Fortunately, it was long enough for me to learn what a wonderful group of people you are. You are, according to your teachers — inventors, readers, artists, musicians, nurturers, jokesters, space explorers, sock collectors, athletes, and performers, just to name a few! As a group you are also thoughtful, insightful and extremely hard working, good friends to one another and deeply kind individuals, full of the virtues that make Hackley so special. How do I know all of these things about you? Because you told me! When I asked you what advice you have for next year’s Lower School students, these are some of the things you said: • Work hard! It will pay off and if you fail get back up and keep trying. • Push past your limits and always do your best • Make sure to meet one new person a day. That helps you make friends. • Listen to everything closely, if you miss something you shouldn't be embarrassed to ask the teacher to repeat, though. • Even if you think you can't do something, always believe you can. • Think positive! • Well, honestly I'm not sure. There isn't really anything to worry or prepare about. Hackley is a great school! I guess that they should always be kind to others. Well, you should be kind to others everywhere.
As a grade, some of your favorite memories included • Kingsland Point Park, Kayaking on the Hudson River. • Square dancing • K buddies • Field day • All of the essays I got to write! • Sitting on a branch of the oak tree overlooking the Hudson during 3rd grade Thank you, fourth graders, for sharing your thoughts and observations with me. I’m sure your advice will be well-received by our students next year. Today’s ceremony is obviously a little different than it might have looked in previous years, but it is no less important or special. It is the culmination of several years of hard work, whether you joined Hackley this year or have been with us since Kindergarten. Keeping very much in line with one of Hackley’s core values — “United, We Help One Another” — I would like to take a moment to thank the people who made today possible and without whom we would not have this lovely experience — Ms. Lynskey, Dr. LeTard, Mr. Dioguardi, Mr. Tonken, and of course the 4th grade homeroom and specialist teachers, Ms. O’Lunney, Ms. Lopez, Mr. Lopez, Ms. Van der Heijden, Ms. van Buren, Ms. DiStefano, Mr. Diaz, Ms. Steinberg, Ms. Chisholm, Ms. Bueso, Ms. White, Ms. Gaven, Mr. Stanek, Mr. Frolo, Mrs. McKay, Mrs. MacDonald, and Mrs. Murray-Jones, who came together to help celebrate and send off our fourth graders to middle school.
F O U R T H G R A D E R E C O G N I T I O N D AY
Although I love them all, my favorite of our mottos is “Go Forth and Spread Beauty and Light.” My wish for you is that you go joyfully onto Middle School sharing and spreading your individual and collective beauty and light to all. Now I would like to turn it over to this year’s fourth grade speaker. We had many excellent applicants, including Evelyn M., Hannah C., Erys B., Sofia I., Lyla T., Katie Y., and Mariana D.. I thank you for your
unique and compelling thoughts and I wish I could have chosen all of you to speak today. It was a hard decision, and ultimately William S. was selected by a panel of Hackley teachers and administrators, to deliver the speech you are about to hear. William has been hard at work for several weeks preparing the words you will hear today. Thank you all for being here and enjoy the program!

Eighth Grade Recognition Day The members of the Class of 2024 chose Cole S. ’24 as their Recognition Day speaker in a virtual ceremony held on June 4.
Good morning everyone, thank you all for joining today to acknowledge this milestone in our lives and congratulations to Hackley’s class of 2024. I’m Cole S. and it is an honor to have been given the opportunity to speak today. Any school can have a motto or mission statement. However, there is a significant difference between merely having one and actually living one. At Hackley, we live and breathe ours everyday. “Enter here to be and find a friend”. “United we help one another.” These words have incredible meaning for all of us. They are embodied and exemplified by everyone to have stepped foot on the Hilltop. I remember my arrival at the Hilltop at the start of sixth grade along with 15 other new Hackley students. On and before that first day we all were aware of the fact that many of our soon-to-be classmates had already been together since kindergarten. Naturally this contributed to some uncertainty as I thought this might affect the variety and quality of relationships I would build with the other students. Instead, what I found…what we all found…time and time again throughout the years we have been together, the contrary has been proven. The Hackley community along with our class, specifically, quickly formed an incredibly strong bond that has given and will continue to give us all the resilience we need to deal with whatever comes our way. Looking back, I recall my first month at Hackley and the grade-wide trip to Silver Lake. Unfortunately, I had broken my wrist a week or so prior to the trip making it fairly difficult to partake in some of the activities, especially when our group was tasked with building a functioning boat. Because I couldn't get my cast wet, I thought for sure I would be unable to participate. I remember that as I began to explain this to some of my peers, a classmate of mine set out in the opposite direction of the lake and returned with a plastic bag to keep my cast dry. It didn’t work that well, but that didn’t matter. What mattered then and what still matters now, is that someone I had possibly never even spoken to had gone out of their way to help me. The next year, at the beginning of seventh grade, we ventured out again as a whole grade, this time to the wondrous Poco-macready. While some of us enjoyed
the activities, what made these memories so special to all of us is, instead, the simple fact that we were all there together…in the bunks, on the bus, and in the nonstop, pouring rain. That same year, I decided to play soccer in the fall for the first time and was, admittedly, not very good. But, what I remember most from that season is not the missed balls or shots but is instead, the unwavering support and unprompted encouragement offered by my teammates. They made it so that I enjoyed, not dreaded being out there on the field and by the end of the season I ended up… not terrible. But once again, this didn’t matter. What mattered then and what still sticks with me today is that my teammates had given up their practice time to help me. And of course, there was the Adirondack trip with Ms. Budde, Mr. Hasslinger, and Eli. I’m sure a lot of you have heard the story before so I’ll just give a brief overview. This was a Hackley week-long summer camp offered and organized by Mr. Hasslinger and Ms. Budde. For our first day, we were camping a few miles into the woods. When we left our campsite to go make dinner, all of our group’s food was eaten by what they think was a bear. Unfortunately, the next day, we were supposed to go on an extensive full-day hike up Mt. Marcy that we obviously would struggle to do on empty stomachs. The other group on the trip was considerate enough to offer us some of their food so that we could all hike together. These are just some of the many examples of the Hackley community that I, in particular, have experienced throughout these past years. Throughout middle school we have also joined together to help make a change and a difference, speaking out and
E I G H T H G R A D E R E C O G N I T I O N D AY
showing support even and especially in regards to the challenging and complicated issues of our time. Whether this be the various walkouts or days of silence, our unifying community at Hackley continually shines through. The Hilltop is a special place and the principles we strive to live by do not cease when we leave campus, we instead take these ideals out into the world and home with us. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to adapt to changes in everyday life that we never could have imagined. However, as the pandemic unfolds before our eyes, I take comfort in the knowledge that the incredible Hackley support system, and the community that I became part of
just 3 short years ago, are there for all of us. In a matter of weeks, the leadership at Hackley and our dedicated teachers took us out of the familiar confines of the physical classroom…something educators and students alike have been utilizing for hundreds of years…to the virtual classroom…something never done before. No, online school is not perfect or ideal to any extent, but it’s there, along with all of you, and the sense of community that has not been lost with distance. While the situation may seem daunting now and is indeed unlike anything any of us have ever experienced, we have been and still are there for eachother, as always. Together, we have experienced, dealt with, and endured other challenging and serious

events that have certainly impacted all of us. Whether this be the destructive climate change, terrifying school shootings, or unfathomable injustices, we have been there for one another, together and united. While it is true that we are not physically together as of now, this does not discount or diminish in any way, the strength of our relationships with one another. The Coronavirus has certainly put this to the test but let me ask you something … have we not just completed our middle school career, have we not still spent hours on zoom with our classmates and teachers, and are you not watching/hearing this speech and sharing this important milestone in our lives right now, all together? While we have lost physical contact with one another and are disappointed that we couldn’t finish the year in-person, the fact that we still finished this year, as together as we can be, truly shows the incredible resilience we all have, individually and as a community. Moving on to the upper school will not be easy, I do know that. But I also know, as the Coronavirus has shown me and hopefully all of you, we are capable of so much; we will adapt to and eventually conquer
whatever life throws at us. We will not only come out of this historic and monumental time with this knowledge, but also with a keen sense of appreciation for each other that could only have come with the deprivation of physical interaction. I also trust that the warm welcome that I received when I started here in 6th grade will be given to our new classmates joining us this next school year in 9th. From the overnights, to the field days, to the activity nights, these middle school years with all of you have been nothing short of incredible. The Pandemic has helped teach me about life's unpredictability, that uncertainty is and WILL always be with us, and that we should never take the incredible community we have here at Hackley for granted. So I now understand, better than ever, that we don’t HAVE to spend another four years together, we instead have the privilege of doing so, and I will no longer take that for granted. So I leave you all with this final thought…what happens these next four years is not something we can predict or control, we do not have jurisdiction over the challenges we may face together but, what we can control is how we react, adapt, and most importantly, embrace with confidence, not fear, what is next to come.

Senior Dinner Address Seth Karpinski Upper School science teacher Seth Karpinski was chosen by the Senior Class as this year's Rice Award winner. He delivered the Senior Dinner Address on July 31, in which he explored the importance of appreciating the little moments that happen while we aren't looking.
There are some elephants in the room that we should probably get out of the way. First, I have a wireless mic; I've never felt more like Justin Timberlake, and I really like it. Second, look around you. This is the weirdest thing I've ever been a part of. Number three, this is the one I really want to address: you had a choice of who you picked to stand up here.... Among your choices: a PhD in Material Science from Columbia University, a Division One Lacrosse national champion, acclaimed actors, poets, artists, and a multi-time nominated Grammy musician. And yet, I'm standing in front of you. What is going on right now? I, Seth Karpinski, am best known for this: My crowning accomplishment is that I abandoned David Ben Ezra at a California Chipotle Mexican Grill. This is who you chose to bestow wisdom to you. What I want to talk to you about today is processes. A process is a series of actions or steps taken to achieve a particular end. And all of these processes have these things called by-products. The by-products are not really what you're going for, but they happen along the way. I want to talk to you about two different processes in my life: a process that happened in 2020, and a process that happened in 2000. Let’s start with the present day. To understand this story, I have to introduce you to some characters. These are two of the most important people in my life. I want to talk about recent accomplishments of these people that I met in college. The first person is
Hardy. Hardy lives in Colorado and he's working on starting a grassroots revolution. [sidenote: Do you guys know what SUP is? Stand-up paddle boarders]. Hardy wants to get 20 to 30 stand-up paddle boarders all paddling at the lake at the same time, and the name of this club is SUP Bro. He wants to name a standup paddle board club SUP Bro, and the only rule of SUP Bro is that the only thing you can say as you paddle along is “SUP, Bro?” This is someone who is important to me. The other person is Greer. Greer's most recent accomplishment is he participated in the Toboggan National Championship. You've heard of it, right? You know the one in Camden, Maine, that no one has ever heard of. That’s what he's doing right now. Greer is the kind of person who is extremely athletic and good at everything he does, without even trying. Greer made the 2008 national team for rowing.

HACKLEY REVIEW COMMENCEMENT SUPPLEMENT 2020
My family has a lake house and Hardy and Greer visited during quarantine. Greer pulls up. He is 6'7, but he drives a Kia, which makes me really happy. There were two things on top of the car: surf skis (I had no idea what a surf ski was) and two 21 feet long kayaks weighing 26 pounds each. The width of the seat is 17.5 inches. He brings two of them knowing Hardy and I are competitive with each other. And he's like, “Hey, I got this idea...You guys gotta race today.” We object for a bit, but deep down, we're like, “Yeah, bring it on. Let's do this.” So, we're sitting on the lake and we get in these boats and 33% of us had an awesome time, the other two people? Not so much. Hardy was flipping this thing over and over and scratching and yelling. And I'm watching this thinking, “I'm not doing that.” I blocked out the rest of the stuff that happened that day, but Greer left one of the boats and it's still in my garage. I'm looking at this thing, and I’m thinking, “Here's a process. I wanna race this thing. I want to race this kayak.” I was 18 in the year 2000. I grew up in Berkshire, Massachusetts and I went to a small public school of about 162 people. It’s a little different from Hackley. 60% of my graduating class didn't go to college, and about 30% of the rest went to nearby state schools. During that time, I took myself very seriously and was obsessed with the college process. Everything I did
and every test I took was an opportunity to increase my GPA. With every race I thought, “I might get recruited, this could be the big one.” I was 100% obsessed with that particular end. So, I spent my high school years working hard to look perfect on paper; to build a facade. In the moment, I was so proud of each of my accomplishments… with the beautiful facade I created. But with facades comes a lot of danger—they come with the heavy weight of the expectations of the community, my family, me. The weight of that just really, really held me down. Still, the entire time I thought, “Particular end, particular end, I wanna get into a school, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do this.” And it worked. I got into Bates College, and I was pumped. I thought, “This is gonna be such a good fit. I can ski. This is Division One. This is what I've been working for.” I made that particular end, I obsessed over it, and finally I was there, and I remember the moment sitting in the car with my mom and dad, thinking, “Yeah, I got that particular end. This is amazing. I did good...Alright, next process.” But, I've never been more scared in my life. I was super terrified. You know when something's about to go wrong and you just get this wicked tension? Maybe it's before a race or before a big test and you're clenching your teeth and white knuckling. I remember sitting there thinking, “What's going on? What's going on?... process, process, process, particular end...You know what, the particular end is whatever facade I made, that's what I have to be, and I have to go to Bates and I have to show everyone that I'm perfect academically, I wanna be social and go to all the parties, I wanna be the life of the party, and blow up athletically in Division One.” I remember putting all of that pressure on myself. I'm in the garage and I'm looking at that boat determined to race this thing. I remember that day telling my Dad, “Let's go down to the dock. I’m gonna get in. I'm gonna put this boat in and then I'm gonna learn how to get in this thing. I'm going to do some balance drills, and after I do some balance drills, I'm gonna get in the boat and I'm gonna go out for a paddle,” and he was like, “Oh, okay, alright, we'll do this.” And so we go down to the dock. We were there for 59 minutes. I didn't get in the boat once.
SENIOR DINNER ADDRESS
I remember grabbing onto the boat and my dad was saying, “Are you serious? Are you joking? What'd Greer say? Did he tell you how to do this?” and I responded, “Greer told me he just never falls out, so he doesn't know how to get back in.” Not only was I humiliated in front of my 70-year-old father, but then I decided to paddle out wearing my life jacket and I found myself going five strokes and then flipping over… and another five strokes and then flipping over. I went to the middle of the lake where there were a ton of elderly people in pontoon boats. I thought they wanted to check out the cool kayak, but instead they were genuinely concerned for my well-being. I was really ashamed. After 59 minutes, I'm shaking and thinking,“You're a D1 athlete... your job is to coach.” And deep down I felt really ashamed. But I laughed and played it off. So, I'm in the car on the way to Bates, putting pressure on myself about what I will be doing while in school the next four years, thinking, “Finally, I get out of here. I finished high school. This is what I've been waiting for. This is gonna be big.” And I just found that the boat just kept flipping. I remember going there and people immediately asking where I’m from and then sharing their places: Milton Academy, Deerfield. I didn't know what any of those places were. They’d clarify, “Just right outside Boston.” I guess my family didn't have a lot of money because I was on a lot of financial aid. And all of a sudden, it flipped. I didn't feel like I belonged there. It was one of the first times I just felt totally outside. I remember even academically being so sure of myself, and then being crushed with feedback such as “You're writing at a ninth grade level.” The tension increased. I couldn't get rid of it. My Friday nights were not what I planned. My goal was to be the life of the party, and that I would uphold the facade I created for myself. But instead, I spent Friday nights in the library alone, just trying to catch up and trying to stop flipping. Every Sunday I would call my parents. And they knew something was not right. I was exhausted, I was so tired. And I couldn’t let go of the shame. Surf ski is really weird. Greer told me, “When it gets really bad and you're about to flip, all you've gotta do is totally relax.” It's impossible to do that, but it's so true. If you're in the boat and your tension

and hesitation is building, you're toast. There's no way you're staying on that boat. There's a couple of different ways to build tension: internally when you do something wrong, and tension driven by external forces. I'm bad at those. Those are the ones that hurt. On a windy day, I told my wife Holly that I was going out for a paddle. She told me it was a ridiculous idea, but I was stubborn and went out anyway. I made it to a cove and was making my way into the main part of the lake with high winds. It was cold enough that I had to wear a wetsuit that day. Every single time I come into that cove, white caps would hit a certain way on the boat and it would flip over. I’d get back on swearing that “I’ve got this,” but each time I’d flip. I stressed to myself, “You're a D1 athlete, you got this, you got this,” and it would keep flipping. I was frustrated. I started tearing up thinking, “What is going on?” When you flip and when you have that tension, it's not a gentle flop, it's not a little splash, it's a really big one, and I remember at one point my paddle went one way and the boat went another. I swam to get the paddle and I looked back at where the boat was and the wind had taken it. I swam as hard as I possibly could

HACKLEY REVIEW COMMENCEMENT SUPPLEMENT 2020
and it kept getting further and further away. I felt so ashamed and defeated and alone in that minute. There was so much tension my freshman year at Bates. I couldn't stop flipping— academically, socially, and athletically. Everyday I'd put pressure on myself: “Here we go. You got this, you got this.” But it was really, really tough. I remember laying in bed thinking, “Man, what are you doing here?” I laid there and the boat was just going, and I swam so hard. There's this weird thing in dirt sports called the flow state. The flow state in endurance sports is “the zone.” In the flow state, you lose perception of time completely, and it's like you're outside your own body watching what is happening. People describe it as this energized focus. It can't break you, and you are 100% in the moment, you are 100% present. I remember being out on the boat and it was dark. I went out at dusk, and if you go out on a lake certain nights, it's glass. And it’s beautiful. And I was in that boat, and every single catch, every paddle stroke just fit perfectly. And that resistance, when I pulled back, was there, but it felt good. I was moving faster than ever, my hips relaxed, legs in motion, perfect cadence. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life, but the key word is it's a moment. The flow state is a moment. That's a by-product of a process, just like the tension in the boat, that's a by-product of that process. Right? Particular end. Race that thing. I remember being at Bates experiencing rare moments when the tension would melt and I felt like I could be myself. Those moments would forever live with me. Most of them include meeting Hardy and Greer, and all of the good times that came after. Those are the moments that I felt completely present. So 38 year old me is out on the boat again during quarantine, and I'm paddling and it’s flipping and I'm getting angry. But there was a moment when it flipped over and something changed. I said aloud, “I'm gonna flip again today, and I'm gonna go paddle tomorrow and I'm gonna definitely flip tomorrow, and I'm gonna flip 1000 times more.” All of a sudden, in that moment the tension and shame lifted. In that moment I knew...if I don't feel tension, if I don't feel unstable, there's no way I can learn from the experience. There’s no way I can have those pure beautiful moments.
I'm in that boat. Particular end. Race that thing. I spent over 100 hours on the boat by then and, in those hours, there was so much tension, but also moments of pure beauty. I remember that moment, paddling along and feeling grateful. I really needed to feel something, and if that feeling was pain and learning how to deal with that pain and acknowledging that pain, and embracing it, to have those moments in peace, I was so grateful for that moment. When I wrote this speech, I thought to myself, “Alright, well, what would 18-year-old Karpinski want to hear?” This is what I'd wanna hear: When I was sitting in your seat, the particular end that I was so obsessed with was extraordinarily tiny, but I didn’t know that. I wish someone had talked to me more about the by-products... the things that I wasn't obsessed with. I wish someone had talked to me about the tension. I wish someone told me when I was in that car feeling extremely scared, “You're gonna get some papers back and you're gonna feel really, really horrible about that stuff.” I wish someone told me that I'd be lying in bed feeling really alone. By-products. I wish someone told me that there are really good ones. I wish someone told me that those difficult moments were just moments. Your entire life is not going to be a flow state, but there will be moments that are absolutely beautiful. And when you feel that, when you're in the lake and you lose perception of time, when you make friends like Greer and Hardy and you're in the moment...recognize that you're there, get your eyes off that particular end, because I think that when the dust settles and you look back at that particular end you’ve been focused on, it will feel exceptionally small. And those byproducts, those moments of tension and flow state, that's your life. Thank you and congratulations Class of 2020.

Commencement Addresses The Salutatory Address Madeline Zuckerman '20
Good morning and, as your salutatorian, it is my responsibility to welcome you to Hackley and our commencement. Standing up here Madeline Zuckerman delivers the Salutatory Address at the Commencement Ceremony held on August 1. today, I see my classmates’ faces (or at least half of them) and I can imagine the faces of our teachers, faculty members, siblings, parents, and more that make up our Hackley community. While not everyone could be here due to these extraordinary circumstances, I want to say I missed all of you so much. I missed getting Starbucks and being late to physics, I missed walking hundreds of stairs each day, and I missed getting accidentally shoved while standing outside my homeroom in the math hallway. But most of all, I missed Hackley’s community and the vibrant culture that it fosters. What is this culture, you might ask? Well, thank you so much for asking because that gives me the segue into the topic of my speech: the question. Before arriving at Hackley, I had not received the encouragement or support to ask questions and be curious. I remember distinctly that in third grade, the year before I entered Hackley, my teacher forbade me from asking any of my numerous questions about that day’s lesson. However, at Hackley, we have been given the incredible opportunity to formulate and voice our questions, a skill that will take us far beyond the Hilltop. This ability manifests in three key arenas: (1) questioning ourselves, (2) questioning our community, and (3) questioning our society.
First, we have learned how to question ourselves and our actions. This is not self-doubt, but rather self-awareness. We have asked ourselves simple questions: Have I studied enough for this test? How can I deliver my lines better in my next performance? What can I do in my next game to play better? And with such intense yet rewarding schedules, we have all asked ourselves whether or not we can handle the difficult classes and activities we take on. We have switched classes, met with teachers, and balanced our mental health and academic strength in asking these questions. We have asked ourselves more emotional questions. Now that we are each close to leaving the home nest, we find ourselves contemplating the impact we have had on our families. Have we been good daughters, sons, sisters, brothers, and friends? We have also
COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES
asked ourselves about the implicit biases we have, whether on race, gender, or class, and how to address these biases. In the past few months especially, we revisited ‘Between the World and Me’ and read ‘How to Be an Anti-Racist?,’ another critical question to ask oneself. In asking all of these questions, we have pushed ourselves to be more aware and involved. Second, we have questioned the community that we live in. We have debated our peers over feminist theory in English class, integral bounds in calculus, the various bodily tissues in biology, and in every other field we have studied together. Often, these debates spill over into hallway conversations and lunch discussions, generating our dynamic and curious community. Though not often related to our class material, we have become so good at speaking that our common areas have often devolved into places of loud noise and chaos, see the complaints we received in both the junior hallway and the senior lounge. We have also asked these questions of our teachers. I should especially know: in freshman year, I was banned from raising my hand for a month in Mr. McLay’s physics class after continued over-eagerness. But this curiosity abounds from every Hackley student, whether as vocal as my freshman self or quietly insightful on discussion board posts or textbook problems. After class, our peers are sure to be found continuing their dynamic conversations with teachers, prime examples include Mr. Flanigan’s fan club, Ms. Kaplan’s open office, and Mr. Klimenko’s luring chocolate-covered espresso beans. These questions have made us more worldly students, more powerful athletes, more captivating performers, and more impactful activists. With an inquisitive student body and receptive faculty, we have challenged how we comprehend critical texts and concepts whether in classes, lunch and learns, or club meetings.
Third, we have questioned the society we live in. We would not be a realistic community without our flaws. Even if we jokingly call Hackley a ‘bubble,’ the deep issues in our society are also present inside and outside of Hackley’s campus. In the past few years and especially in the past few months, we have questioned the inherent structures and norms that surround us. In sophomore year, we saw our peers help to organize our school walkout against gun violence, in the wake of the Parkland school shooting. We have attended the Women’s March, rallies for DREAMers, the Global Climate Strike in Manhattan, and other consequential causes. Most recently, we have protested the overwhelming racism and police brutality in our society, by demonstrating on behalf of Black Lives Matter during the all-school parade. By attending and organizing these events, we discovered important questions and asked how we could change their answers. Why are students afraid of going to school? How are there so few women in advanced STEM classes? Why do we only deeply discuss racism, sexism, homophobia, and xenophobia during our last year on the Hilltop? How is there only one black teacher in the entirety of our Upper School?

HACKLEY REVIEW COMMENCEMENT SUPPLEMENT 2020
These questions will not be easily answered or addressed, but we should and must keep asking them as loudly and forcefully as possible beyond our life at Hackley. It is difficult to examine and poke holes at an existing, accepted system, but Hackley has also taught us to do that. This year, we became fascinated by Jean Baudrillard’s theory of the simulacrum, an instance of a false reality. Think living in the movie The Matrix. We used his theory to question the basic tenets and structures of our society: do these structures inherently exist? Why do they exist and should they exist? Living in this pandemic has especially caused a reexamination of the systems we live under. As a result of COVID-19, what faults have been exposed in our economy, healthcare, and education systems that we should amend? Instead of just accepting the various false realities or simulacra we live under, we must continue to ask probing questions and, as a result, improve our society. In asking these questions of ourselves, our community, and our society, we have challenged each other to start discussions, movements, and thus changes in the world around us. And as we approach this fall either online, on campus, or on a gap year, we must stay alert and curious, ready to ask
these questions no matter how lost and isolated this situation can make us feel. I am so proud of each and every one of us for the questions we have asked at Hackley and for how we will answer these questions and generate new ones in the years to come. With that being said, none of this would be possible without the teachers, administration, and staff who supported us in asking these questions and made it possible for us to desire and search for their answers. Thank you especially to Mr. Loomis, for recognizing the value in our class, to Mr. King, for helping us each navigate the Upper School in our different ways, and to Mr. Wirtz, for being the glue that holds us all together. We would also not be here without the support of our incredible parents — to mine, Mom, you are the kindest person I know and the best shoulder to lean on. Dad, you are my role model and my lifelong teacher. We also have our siblings, grandparents and other important relatives that we owe so much thanks to — much love to my sister Lily and the rest of my supportive family. Lastly, we are all so fortunate to have grown, matured, and questioned alongside each other — thank you for becoming some of my lifelong friends and greatest inspirations. Class of 2020, we were born in the wake of a terrorist attack and are graduating high school during a global pandemic. If the past is any indicator, we are meant to be global disrupters and change makers. So even under these extraordinary circumstances, let us leave Hackley’s campus with curiosity, excitement, and many, many questions.

The Valedictory Address Samuel Perlman '20
(Before I get started, I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge Mr. Wirtz, Mr. King, Mr. Variano, Mr. Loomis, and everyone else who was Samuel Perlman delivers the Valedictory Address at the instrumental in allowing this in-person Commencement Ceremony held on August 1. graduation ceremony to happen. I know it took a lot of time and effort to pull this off. We are all grateful to be here, so on behalf of all of us, thank you.) And as for the Class of 2020… Hey guys. I’ve missed you. While my Hackley English teachers might have wanted me to start with a better hook than that, I felt that I had to say something more genuine for this moment. This moment, despite everything that has happened over the last four and half months, or maybe because of it, is special. These last few days have been the first opportunity we’ve had to be together as the Hackley Class of 2020 in some time, and let me just say, it’s so good to see all of you again. If your March, April, May, June, and July were anything like mine, the past few months have not been easy for you. But we are here. This is, as far as I know, the first Hackley graduation to take place in August; a unique and extraordinary ending for our unique and extraordinary class. One of the very few silver linings of a global pandemic is that the past few months have been especially conducive to reflecting. Being at home has been quite the change of pace from the normal end to senior year; instead of running around from activity to activity, our year was brought to an abrupt halt 144 days ago, the last day that we were in school together. With this unexpected length of free time, I ran over 200 miles, completed approximately 3,000 pieces’ worth of puzzles with my family, and watched all 143 episodes of Brooklyn 99, but I also got to thinking about my years at Hackley. To that end, I have three
thoughts that I’d like to share with you today, all revolving around the concept of time. My first thought was about how grateful I am for the time I have spent here on the Hilltop over the past seven years. This is an extraordinary group of people I’ve had the privilege of being surrounded by. Our class consists of musicians who awed us with terrific performances, athletes who dominated on the sports field, actors who enthralled us with magnificent shows, debaters who argued their way to many successes, artists who amazed us with their creations, and so much more. Throughout it all, we have been supported by incredible, passionate teachers. I am so glad that I saw nearly every student and faculty Chapel Talk, because I loved hearing everything you had to say. Your words educated me, inspired me, and made me appreciate the diverse experiences within our community. Most importantly, I am thankful for the really meaningful friendships that I was able to form with you, my classmates and teammates. Now, onto my second thought. Something else I’ve been reflecting on is how I chose to spend my time when I was at Hackley. Looking back, I wish that rather than getting caught up in my own day to day activities, I had made more of an effort to see the things you all did. I wish I had gone to more of
21
22
HACKLEY REVIEW COMMENCEMENT SUPPLEMENT 2020
your games and stayed later at the various Stings. I wish that I had realized how valuable an experience Coffeehouse was earlier in my time in high school. I wish that I had gone to more Hackley plays and supported our Hacktors more than I did. However, while I may have a few regrets, I certainly did enjoy my time here. For example, choosing to join the cross-country team was something I’m really glad I did. When I joined the middle school cross country team in seventh grade, I was one of the slowest runners. And after six years of hard work, training, and perseverance, I ended my Hackley running career as officially the slowest guy on the team! But it didn’t matter that I wasn’t winning races; I loved my time with the team. From throwing Frisbees around before practice to keeping each other going during long runs at Rockies to telling jokes at the annual Olive Garden dinner in Rhode Island, the experiences I’ve had with the people on that team are some of the most valuable ones I’ve had in my life. It was reflecting on my time at Hackley that led me to my third and final thought: how can I take my knowledge about the ways I spent my time here and use that to help me spend my time wisely in the future, both in college and beyond? One piece of advice that I’ve heard says that people should live their life “starting from their obituary and working backwards.” While quite macabre, I think this quotation captures the essence of what I’m trying to convey very well. Who do you want to be? How do you want to be remembered? I’m not saying you have to have the answers to those questions now; I certainly don’t, and I’m not even sure all of the adults listening do. Regardless, the answers to these questions should inform the everyday choices that you and I are making about how to spend our time. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our day-to-day responsibilities that we never get around to doing the things that truly matter to us. If you want to be known for being philanthropic, you need to make time to support the causes you believe in. If you want to be known for championing social justice, you can’t just talk about it. You need to make time to attend rallies, have the tough conversations, and continuously educate yourself. If you want to be known as a good friend, you have to
return those texts, no matter how busy you are, when someone reaches out to you in need. You get the idea. For the last few months, our carefully planned lives have been thrown into disorder. Having your schedule cleared for the foreseeable future by a global pandemic leaves you with some free time and makes it easier to do the things that matter to you which you might not have done otherwise. However, when everything goes back to normal, and as we return to some semblance of a regular routine, we will have to make choices about how to spend our days. When that happens, I hope we will all ask ourselves, “Is what I am about to do something that I will look back on and consider a worthwhile usage of my time?” To be clear, I’m not saying that you can do whatever you want whenever you want. There will always be responsibilities like studying, working, and honoring family commitments. Regardless, we should all still make an effort to carve out time to do the things that bring us joy, the things that make our life meaningful and that help us to become the people we want to be. Speaking of time, I think it’s about time for me to wrap things up. Before I go, I want to say thank you to my family, especially my parents, and I guess my brothers as well. I want to thank all of the teachers for providing us with an incredible education, including going above and beyond during this pandemic. From the videos you sent us to the parade at the end of the year, you’ve made it more than clear how much you care for us outside of your classrooms. I also wanted to give two special thank yous to Mr. McLay for being a terrific advisor and Mr. Loomis for being a terrific dean. Both of you helped me navigate the very confusing world of high school with marginally less awkwardness than I would’ve otherwise. And finally, I wanted to thank you, my classmates. I’m really going to miss this place, but it’s all because I’m going to miss you guys. You all have made school an experience that has worth far beyond anything that could be learned in a classroom. However sad I might be now, I’m looking forward to the next phase of my life, and I’m excited to keep in touch with you and see you at reunions through everything that’s yet to come. I’m quite curious to see how all of us are going to end up spending our time. Thank you.

The Commencement Address Rachel Mwakitawa
Thank you Mr. Witz, Mr. Canoni, and the Board of Trustees for this honor. I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Lifers for the Hilltop Lower School teacher and DEI Coordinator Rachel Mwakitawa Award you bestowed on me yesterday. delivers the Commencement Address on August 1. To the Class of 2020, Thank you for the honor to share this space. In my introduction you were given my name, and told I’m a first grade teacher. For 12 of you, I was your first grade teacher. Some of you recognize me as the teacher who came to various meetings you had, or we passed each other in the hallways, at a game or a concert. For some, we played kickball together and for a few, it’s very possible that I may have pulled a wiggly tooth out for you. When Mr. Wirtz invited me to be the commencement speaker, the first thing out of my mouth was WHAT?? I found myself repeating that question. Next, I may have asked WHY ME? I called a friend and the first thing out of their mouth was WHY NOT YOU? The more I thought about it, a new question came up — Did I belong in this space? Do I belong here, right now, in front of you at this podium? The word belonging and I have a history together. My need to belong, securely and confidently within a community has become a driving force, and at times a hindrance. We all want to belong to someone, somewhere, whether it is within a family unit, school community, citizenship to a country… oh that citizenship thing I know it well. I have been called an illegal alien three times, twice in Kenya, and once here in the United States. That story would be a great side-bar conversation for another day. But I’ll tell you this… I am a global citizen: British by birth, Kenyan by nationality, and American by choice.
It shakes you to the core when you are told you don’t belong. You are not an accepted, valued member of the group. It puts you in fight or flight mode. If you choose to fight, you do whatever it takes. An advantage I have is being a middle child — not the first girl, not the first boy or the baby girl.... It teaches you to fend for yourself. I was called annoying at times — I earned that though. I equipped myself with tools to use. My tools included siblings, a network of friends, knowledge, and words. I had to make sure I was seen and heard!! I know I belong to a loving nuclear family, and extended adopted families, here on the hilltop and beyond. After accepting that I belong in this space, a new question emerged! What do I say during this historical moment of your lives? It’s your day, you are expecting a memorable speech, right! Thank you for having the courage to be here in this space together. We cannot deny the current state of affairs in our society today. Then add to that, events in your timeline, that have, and continue to influence you as you figure out your destinations away from here. How are your beliefs, feelings, thoughts, and actions

HACKLEY REVIEW COMMENCEMENT SUPPLEMENT 2020
helping in the way you process information that is coming at you? You have managed very successfully in the past, and that is why you are sitting before us as graduates. What tools are you using in addition to those gathered here on the Hilltop? Your power is in the answer to this question — Who are you? Ask yourself — Who Am I? You have a definition of who you are, and the “street” has another. What’s the word on the street about who you are? Who they say you are, may not be who you know yourself to be. Let’s rewind a bit — Word on the streets of Hackley say, you all entered here to be and find a friend. I heard you are an optimistic group, determined, resilient, the no-nonsense takers, creative and independent thinkers, and sometimes trouble makers… But who doesn’t like trouble makers? To quote the late Congressman John Lewis, “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” By the way, it should not matter what the street says. It’s not what they call you or say about you that matters. It’s what you respond to and answer to! Knowing who you are is an evolving journey. The fact is, you are still growing into you. We all are. But at this time, you know you, more than anyone else. The other day flipping through tv channels, I came across the variety show Actors on Actors where different sets of actors are in conversation. During their conversation, Alfre Woodard asked Cynthia Erivo, “How good are you in standing for yourself?” I was pleased to have heard that question, that I’ll ask the same question. How good are you in standing for yourself? With what you know about yourself, are you active or passive? Are you loud or silent? Are you telling your story? Whose voice is being heard? Your life’s timeline is in motion. Much is happening
everywhere that can not be ignored. So again I ask, How good are you at standing for yourself? You are moving off to your destinations with the power of your voice. You are being called upon to be a change agent. We have witnessed how voices here amongst you are making a major impact on this community. I need to acknowledge four of those voices, Taylor, Ella, Sydney, and Max. Your voices came through loud and clear. I thank you for knowing you belong in the space and your voice matters. Other voices have also been heard, and the wheels of change are rolling. I am excited to be part of the changes that will continue to happen here. You know the song that you hear and can’t shake for the day, that’s the song of change we have heard. It’s not a new song. It’s not going away. Remember you are a powerful voice. As you travel to your destinations, be ready to be true to YOU, you will make changes in the fields you are entering. The street can’t stop you. Author Adrian Michael writes “…..no longer is this the time to play small, to downplay, to hinder. Now, you don’t apologize for how much care you are willing to express. It’s on them to meet you where you are. Not because this is the season of the giver. The season of the wanderer. The season of the lover. The season of the heart. Reclaim your super power and realize how necessary you always have been.” Word on the street is that you care for each other and your world. So, once you establish your sense of belonging out there, have the strength to stand up for yourself and let them know who you are. Let them see you… Let them hear you. Class of 2020, Congratulations on your well earned success. Thank you.
