Valedictory address by Joel Prock

By JOEL PROCK Valedictorian, The Heritage School, Class of 2012 I walk up to my coach feeling nervous and uncomfortable. I know he’s going to hate me; everyone will hate me. I’m not sure if I’m ready to face the criticism. How do I phrase this? No more hesitation, I just have to say it. “I’m done with track.�

We stand there in an awkward silence as I wait for his response. “Oh okay,� he says.

Did I just do that? I’m really done. I walk away with a sense of accomplishment.

Of the many things that He r it a g e h a s t a u g h t m e , the ability to say “no� and to stand up for myself has become one of the most useful a nd powerful t h ings I have learned. But this didn’t just happen over night, or even in one year; it is a part of all the lessons I learned over my 13 years at Heritage.

M r. Dav is wa s t he f i rst teacher to show me how to be independent. Until his class there was always somebody there to hold my hand and show me what to do, but not Mr. Davis. He made our class run to the dot tree and

do cherry pickers every day.

At the time it seemed unnecessary and almost like torture, but I’ve learned that this strange form of discipline placed my classmates and me ahead of most kids that age.

Only two years later we were faced with a new challenge: Mr. Marchman’s class.

Ever y thing was different, especially the study habits.

Before his class, the words “time management� meant little to me. No longer could I just f inish my homework and have nothing to worry about. Now I was forced to study on my own.

This immense responsibility was devastating to my childhood but crucial for my maturing mind. No longer hidden, I had seen the real world and it was not as easy as it once appeared.

As the years went on and challenges were accepted, new obstacles were given.

I n h ig h school t he cla sse s b e c a m e h a rde r wh ic h strengthened the bonds between students and teachers. If a ca lculus problem was too hard, you learned to consult your classmates or ask Mrs. Comfort. And if

biology was confusing, you lea rned to read the chapter again and then ask Mrs. Lory.

Some of t he most va luable things I have learned at Heritage have not been in the classroom but instead out side at c ro s s - cou nt r y practice. Most of my drive a nd a m bit ion h ave come from the encouragement of my coaches. Mr. Marchman and Mary Jayne showed me t h at t he lesson s to never settle and to f ind that last ounce of strength are applicable in so many more ways than just in a race.

I f yo u s e t t le f ive m i n utes into a race then people will pass you, if you settle nine weeks into the school year then you’ll fall below your potential, and if you settle for less than you can achieve then you will never be happy. I did not run track this year because I decided not to settle for what makes others happy. After all the years we shared together at Heritage and all the things we have learned, I want to encourage you to never settle for less than your person- The Rotary Cup was presented to Alex Carter by Rotarian and Chairman of The Heritage School Board of Trustees, Otis Jones III. al best.

Hello everyone, welcome to The Heritage school’s class of 2012 graduation. I’m Alex Carter and I’m this year’s Salutatorian.

First off, I’d like for you all to know that when first typing this speech I misspelled salutatorian badly enough that even spell check had no clue what I was typing, and I immediately began doubting the fact that I deserved this honor‌ But honestly our class is stacked from top to bottom with some of the brightest people I’ve ever met, and I really am flattered to have been given this title.

When I first started thinking about my speech and the last words of advice I’d be giving to my classmates, I was lost. I tried to think of an intricate and innovative view on how we should live the rest of our lives, but nothing was clicking for me. At some point I began wondering if I was cut out to lend such important advice to my fellow classmates. I even considered asking Coach Rineer to give one of his economics life lessons in lieu of my speech, but I soon decided people would rather hear me talk than be bored half to death about tax free Roth IRA’s. I quickly realized after days of not being able to come up with anything that I was trying too hard.

I wanted my speech to be deep so badly, that I lost sight of what this speech was really about.

Sure I needed to give advice, but the advice needed to come from what I’ve learned during the time I’ve spent at Heritage.

First, I’ll start with someone who asked me personally for a “shout out.� Mrs. Amber Arnold is the new athletic trainer for our school, and even though her and I do like to joke with each other, she really has taught me a lot. She was the only trainer at the beginning this year, and she had to work with multiple sports teams each season. She recruited some classmates of ours to be her apprentices in order to teach them about athletic training, and to delegate her massive workload. Mrs. Amber taught me that when you’re overwhelmed with work, you don’t always have to take it only upon yourself. It’s not a bad thing to ask for help.

Next I’d like to talk about Coach P, Coach Clay, and Coach Evans. These three men illustrated to me what a big difference leadership makes. They each took athletic programs that had seen little success over the past

few years, and made them contenders by inspiring and leading their players. They taught me the true value of a good leader.

Mrs. Darrell Comfort is the head of the math department and a senior class representative here at Heritage. Mrs. Comfort is probably the smartest person I know, and she always expected the very best out of her students.

Every year her students continually make 4’s and 5’s on the AP exams, so her methods obviously work. Mrs. Comfort taught me to expect the best of yourself and those around you, because that always yields the best results.

Tre Wheat is a classmate of mine, and one of the nicest people I know. You could ask any one at heritage “what do you think about Tre Wheat?�, and I’m sure you wouldn’t hear a single negative thing. Tre taught me to be kind to everyone and to always wear a smile everywhere I go.

Gabe Pulsipher is a crosscountry runner for Heritage, and a fellow senior. Gabe honestly is not that fast, but his endurance is unbelievable. If you don’t want to take my word for it, you should go check out the multiple state rings he’s earned while at Heritage. Gabe taught me to always pace myself and think about the whole journey rather than just the first step.

Maddy Renaud is one of my classmates and also one of my neighbors. While Maddy is an extremely smart girl, she sometimes says things without thinking that would make you think otherwise. We won’t discuss any details, but you should know my friends and I love making fun of her for her slip-ups. The nice thing about Maddy is that she has never once gotten mad, she laughs just as much, if not more than we do. She takes everything we throw at her while standing tall. Maddy taught me to always be able to laugh at myself, no matter what the circumstances are.

Reed Jackson is a member of the senior class and one of the most forward thinkers I have ever met. Reed has an extremely entrepreneurial spirit and always is working on some new project.

I’ve had no doubt in my mind Reed would be successful since I first met him in 5th grade, and he pretty much already is. Reed taught me how important it is to have a professional and businesslike approach in everything I do.

Kat Wendt is a fellow senior and one of the most organized and efficient people I’ve ever met. Kat is the head of, or a big part of almost every organiza-

tion at the school. She is able to do all these jobs she takes on by staying organized and on task.

Kat taught me the importance of organization in any job that I’ll have the rest of my life.

Isabel Dennis is a star tennis player at Heritage, and one of the graduates here tonight.

Seeing as Isabel’s parents own a few McDonalds in the area, she taught me to be good friends with anyone who can get me free food‌ But honestly Isabel puts countless hours of work into improving her tennis game, and she taught me that hard work always pays off.

Kyle Galvin is one of my classmates, and a basketball player here at Heritage. Kyle has a bleeding disorder called hemophilia that normally stops people who have it from playing contact sports. Kyle played basketball during his entire career at Heritage. He always dove for every loose ball and was willing to take charges on defense, and showed that even hemophilia could not stop his will to win.

Kyle taught me to never let anything stop me from succeeding.

Jo h n Wi e n a n d a n d Ju l i e Thames are two of the graduates here tonight, and also two of the most musically talented people I’ve ever met. I still remember going to see all their performances at the coffee shop since we were in eighth grade, and they’ve never failed to impress. Often times we’d be at a busy time in the year when they would perform, and it allowed me to have a relaxing time and just enjoy the performance. John and Julie taught me that sometimes we have to just sit back and enjoy the music, because while life can be tough we really just need to enjoy it.

Kyle Kimsey, Candler Rich, and Joe Bonner are a senior, a junior, and a junior respectively, and they’ve been my three best friends while at Heritage. We’ve basically been inseparable since the seventh grade and we’ve all spent countless hours hanging out at my house. The great thing about them is we always had each other’s backs, and we never let anything come between us.

We always loved to go on walks around my neighborhood and talk to each other about anything that was on our minds. They have been integral in my development as a person through high school. Kyle, Candler, and Joe taught me how to be a good friend to someone, and taught me the true value of friendship.

D u r i n g my t i m e h e re a t Heritage I’ve learned a lot in the classroom, but what’s meant

most to me have been the things I’ve learned about life from my peers and teachers. The people I mentioned in my speech today were just some of the many examples I had of a peer or faculty member teaching me an important lesson. I wish I could have included everyone in my speech, but each and every person in this class should know they have taught me a valuable lesson.

Our class is one that has always been thought very highly of because of our all around success, and the fact that we are so close with each other. I

will always treasure the memories I have with all of you, and I look forward to seeing what all of us go on to do as we take our next step in life and finish high school. I hope to stay in touch with each and every one of you and remain the close class that we are now.

My last words of advice as we leave and graduate tonight is to learn from those around you, and never forget the lessons that we’ve taught each other thus far.

Thank you.

We take education very seriously here at Coweta-Fayette EMC, and we think it's among our corporate responsibilities to support local students and the educational systems within our service area. That’s why we established the Melissa Segars Memorial Scholarship which is funded through the EMC’s Operation Round-Up program.

So, thanks to participating EMC members who contribute to the fund monthly (they allow us to “round up” their electric bill to the next highest dollar and donate the difference), 18 outstanding students will receive assistance to further their education!

Yes, we congratulate all of you for your accomplishments and encourage you in your future endeavors.

Hello everyone, welcome to The Heritage school’s class of 2012 graduation. I’m Alex Carter and I’m this year’s Salutatorian.

First off, I’d like for you all to know that when first typing this speech I misspelled salutatorian badly enough that even spell check had no clue what I was typing, and I immediately began doubting the fact that I deserved this honor‌ But honestly our class is stacked from top to bottom with some of the brightest people I’ve ever met, and I really am flattered to have been given this title.

When I first started thinking about my speech and the last words of advice I’d be giving to my classmates, I was lost. I tried to think of an intricate and innovative view on how we should live the rest of our lives, but nothing was clicking for me. At some point I began wondering if I was cut out to lend such important advice to my fellow classmates. I even considered asking Coach Rineer to give one of his economics life lessons in lieu of my speech, but I soon decided people would rather hear me talk than be bored half to death about tax free Roth IRA’s. I quickly realized after days of not being able to come up with anything that I was trying too hard.

I wanted my speech to be deep so badly, that I lost sight of what this speech was really about.

Sure I needed to give advice, but the advice needed to come from what I’ve learned during the time I’ve spent at Heritage.

First, I’ll start with someone who asked me personally for a “shout out.� Mrs. Amber Arnold is the new athletic trainer for our school, and even though her and I do like to joke with each other, she really has taught me a lot. She was the only trainer at the beginning this year, and she had to work with multiple sports teams each season. She recruited some classmates of ours to be her apprentices in order to teach them about athletic training, and to delegate her massive workload. Mrs. Amber taught me that when you’re overwhelmed with work, you don’t always have to take it only upon yourself. It’s not a bad thing to ask for help.

Next I’d like to talk about Coach P, Coach Clay, and Coach Evans. These three men illustrated to me what a big difference leadership makes. They each took athletic programs that had seen little success over the past

few years, and made them contenders by inspiring and leading their players. They taught me the true value of a good leader.

Mrs. Darrell Comfort is the head of the math department and a senior class representative here at Heritage. Mrs. Comfort is probably the smartest person I know, and she always expected the very best out of her students.

Every year her students continually make 4’s and 5’s on the AP exams, so her methods obviously work. Mrs. Comfort taught me to expect the best of yourself and those around you, because that always yields the best results.

Tre Wheat is a classmate of mine, and one of the nicest people I know. You could ask any one at heritage “what do you think about Tre Wheat?�, and I’m sure you wouldn’t hear a single negative thing. Tre taught me to be kind to everyone and to always wear a smile everywhere I go.

Gabe Pulsipher is a crosscountry runner for Heritage, and a fellow senior. Gabe honestly is not that fast, but his endurance is unbelievable. If you don’t want to take my word for it, you should go check out the multiple state rings he’s earned while at Heritage. Gabe taught me to always pace myself and think about the whole journey rather than just the first step.

Maddy Renaud is one of my classmates and also one of my neighbors. While Maddy is an extremely smart girl, she sometimes says things without thinking that would make you think otherwise. We won’t discuss any details, but you should know my friends and I love making fun of her for her slip-ups. The nice thing about Maddy is that she has never once gotten mad, she laughs just as much, if not more than we do. She takes everything we throw at her while standing tall. Maddy taught me to always be able to laugh at myself, no matter what the circumstances are.

Reed Jackson is a member of the senior class and one of the most forward thinkers I have ever met. Reed has an extremely entrepreneurial spirit and always is working on some new project.

I’ve had no doubt in my mind Reed would be successful since I first met him in 5th grade, and he pretty much already is. Reed taught me how important it is to have a professional and businesslike approach in everything I do.

Kat Wendt is a fellow senior and one of the most organized and efficient people I’ve ever met. Kat is the head of, or a big part of almost every organiza-

tion at the school. She is able to do all these jobs she takes on by staying organized and on task.

Kat taught me the importance of organization in any job that I’ll have the rest of my life.

Isabel Dennis is a star tennis player at Heritage, and one of the graduates here tonight.

Seeing as Isabel’s parents own a few McDonalds in the area, she taught me to be good friends with anyone who can get me free food‌ But honestly Isabel puts countless hours of work into improving her tennis game, and she taught me that hard work always pays off.

Kyle Galvin is one of my classmates, and a basketball player here at Heritage. Kyle has a bleeding disorder called hemophilia that normally stops people who have it from playing contact sports. Kyle played basketball during his entire career at Heritage. He always dove for every loose ball and was willing to take charges on defense, and showed that even hemophilia could not stop his will to win.

Kyle taught me to never let anything stop me from succeeding.

Jo h n Wi e n a n d a n d Ju l i e Thames are two of the graduates here tonight, and also two of the most musically talented people I’ve ever met. I still remember going to see all their performances at the coffee shop since we were in eighth grade, and they’ve never failed to impress. Often times we’d be at a busy time in the year when they would perform, and it allowed me to have a relaxing time and just enjoy the performance. John and Julie taught me that sometimes we have to just sit back and enjoy the music, because while life can be tough we really just need to enjoy it.

Kyle Kimsey, Candler Rich, and Joe Bonner are a senior, a junior, and a junior respectively, and they’ve been my three best friends while at Heritage. We’ve basically been inseparable since the seventh grade and we’ve all spent countless hours hanging out at my house. The great thing about them is we always had each other’s backs, and we never let anything come between us.

We always loved to go on walks around my neighborhood and talk to each other about anything that was on our minds. They have been integral in my development as a person through high school. Kyle, Candler, and Joe taught me how to be a good friend to someone, and taught me the true value of friendship.

D u r i n g my t i m e h e re a t Heritage I’ve learned a lot in the classroom, but what’s meant

most to me have been the things I’ve learned about life from my peers and teachers. The people I mentioned in my speech today were just some of the many examples I had of a peer or faculty member teaching me an important lesson. I wish I could have included everyone in my speech, but each and every person in this class should know they have taught me a valuable lesson.

Our class is one that has always been thought very highly of because of our all around success, and the fact that we are so close with each other. I

will always treasure the memories I have with all of you, and I look forward to seeing what all of us go on to do as we take our next step in life and finish high school. I hope to stay in touch with each and every one of you and remain the close class that we are now.

My last words of advice as we leave and graduate tonight is to learn from those around you, and never forget the lessons that we’ve taught each other thus far.

Thank you.

Valedictory address by Joel Prock

By JOEL PROCK Valedictorian, The Heritage School, Class of 2012 I walk up to my coach feeling nervous and uncomfortable. I know he’s going to hate me; everyone will hate me. I’m not sure if I’m ready to face the criticism. How do I phrase this? No more hesitation, I just have to say it. “I’m done with track.�

We stand there in an awkward silence as I wait for his response. “Oh okay,� he says.

Did I just do that? I’m really done. I walk away with a sense of accomplishment.

Of the many things that He r it a g e h a s t a u g h t m e , the ability to say “no� and to stand up for myself has become one of the most useful a nd powerful t h ings I have learned. But this didn’t just happen over night, or even in one year; it is a part of all the lessons I learned over my 13 years at Heritage.

M r. Dav is wa s t he f i rst teacher to show me how to be independent. Until his class there was always somebody there to hold my hand and show me what to do, but not Mr. Davis. He made our class run to the dot tree and

do cherry pickers every day.

At the time it seemed unnecessary and almost like torture, but I’ve learned that this strange form of discipline placed my classmates and me ahead of most kids that age.

Only two years later we were faced with a new challenge: Mr. Marchman’s class.

Ever y thing was different, especially the study habits.

Before his class, the words “time management� meant little to me. No longer could I just f inish my homework and have nothing to worry about. Now I was forced to study on my own.

This immense responsibility was devastating to my childhood but crucial for my maturing mind. No longer hidden, I had seen the real world and it was not as easy as it once appeared.

As the years went on and challenges were accepted, new obstacles were given.

I n h ig h school t he cla sse s b e c a m e h a rde r wh ic h strengthened the bonds between students and teachers. If a ca lculus problem was too hard, you learned to consult your classmates or ask Mrs. Comfort. And if

biology was confusing, you lea rned to read the chapter again and then ask Mrs. Lory.

Some of t he most va luable things I have learned at Heritage have not been in the classroom but instead out side at c ro s s - cou nt r y practice. Most of my drive a nd a m bit ion h ave come from the encouragement of my coaches. Mr. Marchman and Mary Jayne showed me t h at t he lesson s to never settle and to f ind that last ounce of strength are applicable in so many more ways than just in a race.

I f yo u s e t t le f ive m i n utes into a race then people will pass you, if you settle nine weeks into the school year then you’ll fall below your potential, and if you settle for less than you can achieve then you will never be happy. I did not run track this year because I decided not to settle for what makes others happy. After all the years we shared together at Heritage and all the things we have learned, I want to encourage you to never settle for less than your person- The Rotary Cup was presented to Alex Carter by Rotarian and Chairman of The Heritage School Board of Trustees, Otis Jones III. al best.
