- Hi seniors, I'm sad I
can't say goodbye in person.
But I wanna let you know
how amazing it has been
to watch you grow, both
academically as students
and emotionally as human beings.
I am continually impressed
by your compassion
and your drive, and I know
you'll do amazing things
because you've been doing amazing things
since the moment you got here.
I graduated in the year of
a great economic downturn
as well with a degree in art history,
and I wasn't sure what I was
going to do with my life,
and I had lots of panicked
conversations with my mother
and lots of self-doubt every day.
And many of you know, I'm
now an art history professor,
so it turned out okay.
But I wanna let you know
that you will make it to the other side
and be a better and
more fascinating person
because you faced
adversity and kept going.
So stay strong, and know that you always
have your Flagler family
every step of the way.
Congrats, Class of 2020.
