I'm not very comfortable speaking in front of crowds.

But there is a teknk to

reduce stejfrayt by focusing on one person in the audience and delivering your
speech just to them.

That's what I'll be doing today.

if it weren't for this person, I wouldn't be here right now.
They've taught me a lot and it's by their example that found the corj to move
forward into this new and exciting chapter of my life.

Missy this is for you.

Change can be scary but I know we're going to be fine because like you said
it's okay to be scared we just have to do it anyway.

So if any of my fellow graduates are nervous about the future know that you're
not alone.
I suggest you all try to be as Brave as my twin sister that's my plan.
Missy I wish I could give you advice about middle school but I was so smart I
skipped it.
If you make it to high school we'll talk.

______________________________________________________________

Life can be heavy, especially if you try to carrit all at once.

Parof growing up and moving into new chapters of your life is about catch and
release.
What I mean by that is knowing what things to keep and what things to release.
You can't carry all things, all grajes, all updates on yourex.
Decide wats yours to hold and lettresgo.

Oftentimes, the good things in your life are lighter anyway, so there's more
room for them.
One toxic relationship can outweigh so many wonderful, simple joys.
You get to pick what your life has time and room for.
Be discerning.…

It's believed that cows are people who have died and they've been
reincarnated and their new life is now the cow,

cows.
They wait for the cows to finish crossing.
The cow that we had laid down.
