The Class of 2018 celebrates their first steps as alumni with a cap toss.

A celebration of unity as Eldred graduates 41 STORY AND PHOTOS

BY MARGARET BRUETSCH

T

he Eldred Class of 2018 has had a long year filled with three major storms that left the area without power for days, but the struggles made Saturday’s graduation so much sweeter.

The class of 2018 while small, focused on the closeknit connection their community provided them.

“It is an amazing thing to see such unity and community,” said Salutatorian Joseph Santoro, describing

his school as a well connected web. “I know Eldred is not a large school, but in my opinion that is a good thing.

By interacting with each other in both good and bad ways, we were brought together.”

School officials urged the Class of 2018 to go out into the world and bring their uniqueness and skills to better the world.

“I want to focus my message for you on doing good for others,” Superintendent Dr. John Morgano said. “Be a contributor more than a re-

ceiver. I am confident that you can make Eldred and the country a better place through your efforts.”

Principal Virginia Keegan shared advice her father imparted on her and her siblings: do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.

“With hard work, motivation, determination and your family’s support you too can make a difference,” Keegan said. “Go boldly into the future with the right mindset and right work ethic.”

The class of 2018 were

Weatherly will study Early Childhood Education at Oneonta while D’Angelo will study Sociology at Oswego. treated with a commencement address from Kaitlin Carney Haas, Town of Highland councilwoman, Sullivan County Democrat reporter/photographer and granddaughter of one of Eldred’s first graduates, Russell MacKechnie.

“This morning, you did what you have done for many years, you walked the halls of Eldred as a student.

But today is different. Today, you will leave the school as a graduate,” Haas told the Class of 2018 they would be joining ranks of other graduates who have gone on to be authors, actors, government officials and more. “They, and you, are not victims of circumstance, you are not

defined by your challenges, you are defined by the manner in which you face them.”

Haas told students about her grandfather MacKechnie who left Eldred to serve in the Army, have a family and travel the world, but still returns every summer because Eldred is a part of him.

“If I could share one bit of advice with you, it would be to do what makes you happy with the people that make you laugh,” Haas urged. “You will always be your own worst critic, and you will never celebrate your accomplishments the way your parents and family members do, but let them... live every moment as if it’s a big deal, because they are all big deals.”

The last speech before the Class of 2018 received their awards and diplomas, and officially became alumni was from Valedictorian Kimberly Gonzalez who highlighted each and every one of her classmates, and what made them special.

“It sounds cheesy, but it’s been an emotional roller coaster ride, but you made the ride bearable,” Gonzalez said of her classmates and teachers. “This is the class of 2018. We are fun, we are ambitious, and most of all we are different.”

Her advice for her fellow classmates: “Remember that sometimes all you have to do is believe in yourself. It’s cheesy, but it’s true.”

86 Fallsburg graduates find their moment to shine STORY AND PHOTOS

Julia Batista’s salutatory address stressed the importance of diversity throughout her high school career.

teachers, and school staff such as integrity, honor, compassion, and patience.” She encouraged them to make decisions that will make them “feel bold” and never to forget the people that helped them achieve their goals. “As you move on to new adventures,

remember Fallsburg,” encouraged Barbiani, “where your roots are firmly planted and feel confident in the strengths those roots provide.”

Salutatorian Julia Batista began her speech boldly, stating, “Today is the day that we

leave Fallsburg as students and enter the world as adults.” Her words focused on providing a glimpse into the close-knit relationships that have formed between the students during their time at Fallsburg. “As high schoolers, we learned that we’re influential upon each other.” However, for Batista, the most important lesson that she learned as a high school student revolved around the diversity of her classmates and community. “We live in a country where diversity is at its peak. My particular group of friends could probably serve as the best example of this melting pot,” stated Batista. “And I am nothing but grateful to have come to understand that.”

Kaitlyn Simms’ Va l e d i c t o r i a n speech gave guests a behind-thescenes glimpse of her high school experience, which included highlights of some of the most memorable moments and antics of the class. Simms also thanked numerous faculty and staff for the lessons, both academic and Friends and family members filled the auditorium of Fallsburg High School to life, that they proapplaud their graduate. vided. “All of this

knowledge will be valuable as we go forward in life,” stated Simms. Additionally she included numerous pop-culture references that ranged from rap artist Drake, teen flick “High School Musical,” and even the popular cartoon “SpongeBob Square Pants,” which caused many of her schoolmates to cheer and clap in approval.

Fallsburg’s 2018 Class President, Iris Mancia, gave a colorful speech that was analogous to her high school experience. For Mancia, red and orange represented her freshman year, yellow and green sophomore year, junior year was blue, and senior year was all about purple. “The future is an amusement park,” she stated. “No matter what ride we all decide to take, it will work out in the end.”

Mancia ended her speech noting, “Sometimes it will rain when you visit the amusement park, but after the rain always comes a rainbow,” resulting in each student holding up a colorful card that created Mancia’s rainbow.

Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Ivan Katz, concluded the ceremony with one short quote, “Work for a cause, not applause. Live life to express, not to impress. Don’t strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt.”

Katz encouraged students to make the most of these words, and offered them and their family his sincerest congratulations.

n an auditorium filled to capacity, Fallsburg High School celebrated the graduation of 86 high school seniors on Sunday. Surrounded by overjoyed family and friends, these seniors proudly walked across the stage and took their diploma’s in-hand. “The class of 2018 is truly a unique group of students,” stated Principal Michael Williams. “And if you ask them, they’ll say to you that they’re my favorite class…They’re actually a great group of kids and as I’ve gotten to know them over the last six years, I’ve realized how unique they really, really are.”

Williams highlighted the multitude of student talent and interests ranging from athletics, arts, theatre, and academia that made up this year’s student body. To further demonstrate his appreciation to the graduates, Williams chose to sing his version of Susan Boyle’s “This Is the Moment,” which received an overwhelming applause and cheer from the students.

Board of Education President Debra Barbiani thanked everyone “for believing in the power of education.” She advised the young graduates to remember the path that they chose to reach this monumental accomplishment in their lives. “You’ve got this,” Barbiani reminded them. “In the years to come, there will

esponsibility was the theme for the 2018 graduating class of Honesdale High School. At the ceremony on June 16 held in the middle school’s gymnasium, 193 seniors became alumnae of the school.

Class President Julia Polt spoke about responsibilities of the past. She said, “For every birthday came more responsibility and chances for freedom.� She talked about how growing up kids are given more jobs and more tasks. “As kids, we love the idea of having these jobs,� she said. Adding, “the teachers shaped us into who we are today.�

Class Salutatorian Emma

Dunsinger spoke about responsibilities of the present.

She talked about the past year and how they had to balance school, jobs and getting into college. “We had to show we were ready for the next step,� she said. “We persevered and have made it to the finish line.� Emma plans to attend Temple University and pursue a four-year degree in computer science.

Class Valedictorian Tessa Vendetti spoke about responsibilities of the future. She said the graduating class will take on new responsibilities and have to contribute to the cycle of life, by voting and being neighborly. “While we face the future head on adult responsibilities seem very

Christopher Pietraszewski presented scholarships and awards. He announced the scholarships this year total $4 million. “We are ever grateful for those who provide scholarships,” he said.

The Kristina Adams Memorial Scholarship is given to the person who ranks 10th in the class. This year the recipient was Elizabeth Williams.

Superintendent of Schools Gregory Frigoletto spoke about the challenge of finding balance in your life. He said to the graduates to make a list of what makes you happy and fulfilled, and in that list will be the answer to finding balance. “Whatever brought you here, whether a rocky road or smooth sailing, you’re all here,” he said.

In between speeches the Honesdale High School Band presented musical selections, including “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” and

“From Now On” from the Greatest Showman.

After the speeches, the presentation of diplomas commenced, and each of the 193 students took their turn to walk across the stage and accept the piece of paper that they worked so hard to attain after these four years.

A smile on their faces, they moved the tassel across their caps, and stepped into the world with new responsibilities.

aturday morning was overcast and dreary while rain drizzled down with a chill that left you wanting a sweater, but upon walking into the cafeteria of the Livingston Manor Central School, you would never have known the weather outside was so bleak.

The room was full of chatter and laughter as the senior class put on their graduation gowns and caps, helping each other pin corsages while sharing memories. Their smiles filled the room with a brightness that was contagious to family members who peeked in on them and the LMCS Board of Education members that were gathered to walk with them to the ceremony.

“Alright everybody line up!” shouted one of the board members.

The seniors then walked down the hallway toward the gymnasium with boys on the right and girls to the left while the School’s Concert Band played “Pomp and Circumstance” during their processional to the stage. Once seated, Student Council President Nathaniel DePaul was called to the podium to lead everyone gathered through the Alma Mater just before LMCS Principal Mrs. Sandra Johnson made her opening remarks.

“Wow. Well, today is the day.

You’ve made it,” stated Johnson, “and I couldn’t be more proud. I’ve seen you walking through these halls for more than a decade. Thank you for 12 wonderful years.”

Both Salutatorian Evan Madison and Valedictorian Nathaniel DePaul took to the podium separately to make their remarks and well wishes to their fellow classmates.

They shared memories from the past years, dreams of some of their friends, and advice not just for their classmates as they move on to college, work and life, but also for themselves.

Upon receiving their diplomas presented by Principal Johnson, LMCS Board President Mr. Elliot Madison and Superintendent Mr. John Evans, there was excitement among the 25 students as well as laughter, hugs and tears.

“Don’t be afraid of failure,” stated Guest Speaker and 2006 Alumni Matthew Verderame, “because without failure how can you know success? If we never have rain, we’ll never appreciate the sunshine. Moments of darkness eventually brings you to light.

So fail, and don’t be afraid of it, knowing that it will lead you somewhere better.”

Friendships remembered at Hancock graduation for 33

Class Valedictorian Alyssa Makowski receives her diploma from Board of Education President Terry Whitt.

STORY AND PHOTOS

BY ISABEL BRAVERMAN

“L

ook at this photograph. Every time I do it makes me laugh,� sang the Hancock Central School senior choral ensemble. The words from the song “Photograph� by the band Nickelback rang true as the small graduating class of 33 will move on from high school, but hold memories of

their friendships in their hearts.

Class Valedictorian Alyssa Makowski said, “Hancock will always be home.�

She spoke about the friendships they have made and even though they may not stay friends, they will always have home to return to. “We will go on to meet new people,� she said. “But still remember our friends from high school.� Alyssa will at-

tend the University of Pittsburgh to study pre-medicine.

Class Salutatorian Malorie Rutledge said she was unsure of what to say in her speech so she looked up “salutatorian� on Urban Dictionary. It said: “The person who just missed being valedictorian by a few GPA points. A very miserable person indeed.

2nd place is just the first loser.� All joking aside, Rutledge said she took this responsibility very seriously.

She thanked the teachers and school administration. “Without you we would not be on this stage tonight,� she said. Malorie will attend SUNY Delhi to pursue veterinary technician.

Superintendent Terrance Dougherty and President of the Board of Education Terry Whitt presented diplomas to the graduating class of 2018.

The new alumnae celebrated with friends and family afterward. “It's hard to say it/ Time to say it/ Good bye, good bye,� the lyrics of “Photograph� summarize the feeling of graduating from high school, going out into the real world, and most importantly, saying goodbye to your friends.

Sullivan BOCES releases 17 ships out to sea STORY AND PHOTOS

BY JOSEPH ABRAHAM

Sullivan BOCES Superintendent Robert M. Dufour, Ed. D, recently unpacked a painting of a seascape and a sailing ship that he and his younger brother had given to their father several years ago.

It now hangs in Dufour’s den.

Wanting to deliver a meaningful message to the 17 young men and women that comprised Sullivan BOCES’ Class of 2018, Dufour, looking at the painting, was reminded of a quote by John Graves Shedd. “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what

ships are built for.”

Dufour went on to explain that for the last several years Sullivan BOCES has been their harbor, where they felt safe, secure and welcome.

Teachers, teaching assistants, aides and many, many others taught them, took care and guided them.

“You were a ship in a harbor protected from the stormy seas and the high winds,” Dufour said. “Gails and hurricanes would blow while you safely and securely, gently rocked in the waves of your harbor. Today it’s time for you to leave your harbor, head out to sea and do what ships were

built for. It’s your turn to take on the sea of life as you grow, explore and venture out into the world. It will be stormy, the seas will be rough, you’ll get wet, you’ll even get sick, and you’ll want to turn back.

However you will have everything you have learned to rely on, make you strong and give you the courage to move ever onward.”

He added that he wants the graduates to make the most of everyday, make memories that will last, make friends, remember family, be kind to others and most importantly, be the best they can possibly be. “Accept nothing less and

expect nothing more,” Dufour concluded.

County Manager Josh Potosek and County Clerk Daniel Briggs were in attendance.

“BOCES students face a variety of challenges, which makes their graduation all the more impressive and inspiring,” said Potosek. “The same can be said for the staff of BOCES, who dedicate themselves to ensuring our young people achieve everything of which they’re capable. Together, they make an unbeatable team, and I was privileged to witness this resulting milestone.”

Liberty graduates 106 S

peaking to the graduates of Liberty High School on June 23, outgoing Superintendent Carol Napolitano spoke of a mantra that’s familiar to anyone who attended school at the home of the Indians: Liberty PRIDE. Perseverance, reliability, integrity, dedication and everyone working together. These are the traits that define all Liberty alumni, but especially the graduating class of 2018.

They will carry these attributes out into the world with them and Liberty graduates travel far and wide. As Class Salutatorian Olivia Racette remarked, “We will represent

Liberty as far south as the University of Miami, as far west as Oregon State, and even in America’s heartland – go Bucks!”

Class President Gabriela Nolan delivered the welcoming remarks, thanking the parents, friends, teachers and everyone else who took the graduates of 2018 under their wing, ensuring they became the successful individuals they are today. She described life more as a marathon than a sprint, and this year’s graduates stand at the starting line of a new marathon. “Just like a race, you have to start when the gun goes off,” Nolan said.

“Some of us may sprint ahead and start strong, others pace themselves … as you proceed into the race, you face chal-

lenges. Whether it be a gentle slope, or a mountain like Buckley Street, you must face these monstrous things in order to finish.”

Class Valedictorian Jordan Russo is a young man that incoming Superintendent Augustine Tornatore said he looks forward to one day seeing on the High School’s “Wall of Fame.” Earning a grade average of 101.77 and serving as president of the Liberty National Honor Society Chapter, Russo plans on attending Stony Brook University, where he will major in biochemistry with the goal of one day becoming a general care physician.

He delivered a speech about looking to the future, but remembering what

you’ve learned. “We must be tomorrow’s positive images,” Russo said.

“Despite whatever diversity or cultural background we hold, we can unite in success, achieve greatness and reach our dreams together … passion and an unwavering drive to do what is right is essential. With so much more in store for our lives, this will be the foundation that anchors the future ahead.”

But the graduates weren’t the only ones who had waited 18 years for this day. School Board Vice President Jennifer Desrochers was on hand to deliver her son his high school diploma.

“There are wistful gazes and tears today,” Desrochers said. “Memories abound – a bowling party at the old Liberty Lanes, fourth-grade gingerbread houses decorated with inordinate amounts of candy, the matching shark shorts and soapbox derby car, the colorwar hallways with swimming pool UFOs and the

tissue paper truffle of trees. Individual threads woven into a fabric.”

While Desrochers encouraged those eager to leave Liberty and travel to do so, she reminded them of the value of coming from a small town. “Always remember the fabric from which you are cut – the strong, resilient and beautiful cloth that is Liberty,” she said.

After all the diplomas were handed out, there was still one individual left who was “graduating.” Graduates, faculty and administrators took the opportunity to bid farewell to High School Principal Jack Strassman, who is retiring after being a fixture in the district for 23 years. Strassman was presented with his own diploma

by Class President Nolan. According to the district, he plans to hike the Red Rock Canyons in Utah, sample the freshest foods in California and catch some rays in sunny Florida.

With a moniker beginning with the last letter of the alphabet, Zimmer, who is headed into the U.S. Navy, spent a lot of his years in school waiting. Waiting for the adults to work their way through 84 names before they got to his.

Saturday, Zimmer made his classmates wait for him as he led them down the long hallway between the Sullivan West library and the auditorium for graduation.

It was an event marked by significant change for the district.

Presenting the district with flower bulbs, Lumalcuri noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;These bulbs are symbolic of the vibrant positivity that you have left on the school. Every spring when

everyone is dragged down from the harsh winter, our spirits will be heightened with the sight of beautiful tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and bluebells. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These flowers will be a constant reminder of your belief in a good education, your care and consideration for your students, and your endless PLEASE SEE Sullivan West, 22G

devotion to improving the lives of all Sullivan West students and personnel.”

The kids will carry with them other reminders of Sullivan West too.

For Alex Schwalb, it will be a dedication to what he calls the philosophy of intellectual discipline.

Headed to college with plans to be an educator, Schwalb took the time during his speech to call on his classmates to think critically, be it while examining memes on social media or in making important life decisions.

“If you utilize the philosophy of intellectual discipline regarding an event prior to making a conclusion, it would mean that you have analyzed extensive data and evidence.

You will have exercised your right to being a critical thinker,” he said. “As we exit these doors, thinking critically becomes our responsibility.

The philosophy of intellectual discipline is something that we all should take with us from this school. It is a method which can make the

actions you take, as well as the words you speak, in the future more meaningful.”

Of course, what the graduates walk away with is just the beginning.

Valedictorian Heather Roeder compared their journey to the Game of Life, a popular board game she recalled begging her grandmother to play when she was a small girl.

At the time she could choose anything. A dream job.

A dream house.

She and her classmates could choose between college, the military or jumpstarting a career.

“Every one of us is taking our own path to start this game of life,” Roeder said. “No matter what path is chosen, we will all go through life, and we will all reach those exciting milestones just as in the board game. This grand quest of who we want to be and who we will become is waiting for us just outside those doors.

“The future is waiting for us right outside this gymnasium, so I must ask, what path will you choose to start your adventure through life?”

Tri-Valley celebrates 75 new alumni

The Graduation Chorus serenaded the audience with two songs. The first was the National Anthem, and the second was the class song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Child of Tomorrow.â&#x20AC;?

STORY AND PHOTOS

BY JOSEPH ABRAHAM

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Visualize someone who is famous for the positive impact they have made in the world,â&#x20AC;? asked Tri-Valley Class of 2018 Valedictorian Kaylin Klein. She will be attending SUNY Cobleskill in the fall with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I ask that you consider why they are so well-known. Is it because of

their expansive estates, fancy cars, or any other material representation of fortune and fame? Or is it because each one of these people has embraced a cause that is bigger than themselves?â&#x20AC;?

Klein challenged her peers to pursue a goal bigger than themselves and encompass their passions, therefore finding their purpose. She also told them not to just seek fame and fortune, but embrace the light and beauty of

Valedictorian Kaylin Klein shares wise words with her peers.

their goal and good things would come their way.

As is tradition, every year at Tri-Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation, an Armed Forces Presentation took place, honoring the graduates who are entering the military. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation was once again led

by Senior Class Advisor and Graduation Coordinator Brenda Sloan, who celebrated her 25th anniversary running the show and making sure everything ran perfectly.

Speaking of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military members, Sloan said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They go where the thunder is, places most of us would not dream of going. They stand ready, 24/7, so that we can live in peace and prosperity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a selfless, sacrificial choice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and for this reason, we honor those who serve.â&#x20AC;?

This year three Tri-Valley graduates were recognized.

They are: Robert Barr (U.S. Air Force), Mikayla Clearwater (U.S. Navy) and Dustin

Matthew Monforte receives his diploma from Vice President of the Tri-Valley Board of Education Keri Poley.

Rogers (U.S. Air Force). Clearwater was surprised on stage as her great grandfather Robert Connor (a World War II Navy Veteran). Both she and her great grandfather enlisted at the age of 17.

Jaclyn Musa was the Class of 2018 Salutatorian. She will attend Virginia Tech in the fall. Musa encouraged her classmates to not let opportunities pass them by because life is too short to be fearful.

She gave two examples from

her own life of situations where she stepped out of her comfort zone and was pleased with the results. The most recent of which was her participation in the high school musical, where she had to sing in front of a large crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Classmates, I hope wherever you go, whatever you choose to do, live limitlessly,â&#x20AC;?

Musa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because in the end, we only regret the chances we did not take.â&#x20AC;?

The Tri-Valley Graduation Band under the direction of Matthew Weyant plays â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pomp & Circumstanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as the graduates enter.

This Special Salute to the Tri-Valley Central School graduates is made possible by these community-minded businesses & individuals:

Monticello graduates 219 STORY AND PHOTOS

BY PATRICIO ROBAYO

arents, grandparents and friends filled the Paul Gerry Fieldhouse at SUNY Sullivan to watch 219 Monticello seniors receive their diplomas.

As the students entered, parents and friends rushed to the aisle in order to catch a glimpse of their graduate as they entered to a standing ovation.

While ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ was played by members of the Monticello Middle and High School bands led by Conductor Andrew Verdino, the students marched into a wave of camera flashes and applause.

Monticello High School Principal Stephen Wilder, looked upon the graduating class of 2018 and said, “Seniors at the end of this ceremony you will be high school graduates that will contribute to the future of our families, our communities, our nation

and our world.”

Wilder expressed how important decisions will affect not only the quality of the students but those who are around them. “It is up to you to use the talents that you have to affect the world,” added Wilder. “Successful people have an incredible work ethic. Whatever you choose to do, work hard at it.

Move forward, do great things and make everyday a great day and be the best you can be.”

Equally important, the Superintendent of the Monticello Central School District, Tammy Mangus said, “It is so great to have you all here, this is a great moment and I am honored to share this with you.”

Mangus encouraged all the students to make a better tomorrow and how you treat others is how you are treating yourself.

“You can not give to others what you do not yourself possess,” added Mangus. “Imag-

Kassey Balzano walks in proudly with her fellow graduates.

ine the beautiful possibilities that the world can become.

Pick up the phone, call your mom, your dad or your grandparents, anyone who supported you to be here on this day. Ask them what the best part of their day was and tell them yours. They will smile knowing you called.

Want a more beautiful world, clean it up. If you want to start to change the world, start with making your own bed. I am doubling down cause something tells me… you got this.”

Two students who were honored with Summa Cum Laude, Dylan Broder and Morgan Mitchell, meaning they have achieved a GPA between 95 to 100 were asked to speak to the graduating class.

“My biggest fear is public speaking,” said Broder. “But when I was honored to speak before my class, I knew I would regret it if I didn't. She asked her fellow students to stand up and conquer their fears and not let anything hold them back. She went on

to thank the Monticello Art Department for believing in her all these years.

Broder ended with a quote by former first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

In the same fashion, Mitchell said, “Nobody knows where we might be next year and nothing is impossible. If you believe in something, it can happen,” said Mitchell.

She went to speak about how determination, sacrifice and hard work can help them realize their dreams by listing famous members of society on how they failed at first but succeeded later in life.

“Be yourself and be better than better than average,” said Mitchell.

those around them.

“May you measure your success by how many people you have helped and not in material things. Challenge yourself, be memorable and be admirable.

Salutatorian Noah Steele, will be moving on to Cornell University to study Animal Science. When asked how it felt to be Salutatorian he said, “It’s a great honor and I worked really hard to be here and I am glad to represent school.” Steele grew up on a dairy farm and is looking to explore the field of Animal Science and one day become a Veterinarian.

Steele spoke to the graduating class of 2018 and said, “We are going to fail in life, that fact is inevitable. Not everything is going to go as planned. But persistence will lead to success.”

Steele added these parting words, “I don’t care what your major is, there is going to be a lot of competition that you will have to weed out. My dad told me ‘I don’t care how good your animal is, some-

one, somewhere has one better.’”

The Valedictorian Desmond Lambe, a stand-out athlete throughout his high school career, will be attending Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he will study Biomedical Engineering. “It feels great [to graduate]. I am very happy to be moving on to another part of my life,” said Lambe before he took the stage to speak to his graduating class. On his future, Lambe said, “ [I] want to do cancer research and genetic research.”

Lambe to his class said, “Graduates, we have faced many things, we have experienced life while we were here in school.” Lambe went to list many things that his fellow students have faced throughout the years from death of loved ones to brain surgery.

“We are eagle scouts, we are firefighters, and we are all Common Core survivors. We are millennials living in the real world and we are here to stay.”
