Class of 2022.
Thank you, for coming back to school.
Your Freshmen Year, back in 18-19.
May seem like decades, or centuries ago.
Yet here you are today, in 20-22.
Having accomplished what you set out to do.
You did so during tough times:
A pandemic, staying at home, distance learning.
Being asked to wear masks.
To sanitize your hands.
To see your classmates through a grid of profiles on a school laptop.
To mute and unmute, to turn off your camera.
To screen share and pin to screen.
To lowering the sound so you don't receive bad feedback.
To being back in person in real time and be able to hug, shake hands, fist bump.
To being here in this moment with your classmates.
To being bonded by all that brought us together.
To be a student who is a member of the class of two thousand twenty two.
Congratulation students!
