FOREST LAWN HIGH SCHOOL

As students and friends, we have made many memories together — many good and some bad — most of which we can now look back upon and laugh! We went through so much during the past decade. We often clashed over what some might call trivial situations. And despite the fighting, we never hesitated to have each other’s backs. I consider myself lucky to have met you all and to be part of the strong bond we have created. We have had some of the best teachers, who truly cared about us and taught us with passion. They gave everything they had in hopes of moulding great contributors to society.

Fellow graduates, I have known you for a long time, and I know that each and every one of you has something special. You all are creative and smart in many different ways; always remember to believe in yourself! I am counting on seeing you conquer life in your own fantastic way. And I know we will keep in touch. Up until recently, I felt apprehensive whenever I thought of finishing school and starting a new chapter. But today, after going through the senior year, I am filled with ecstasy and excitement to venture into another world and offer all I have. Congratulations, Class of 2020. All the best in your future endeavours.
