But I have to say you inspired me every day to do more, act more intentionally and be more urgent in addressing the pandemic and all of the disparities it revealed – because of you, your resilience and your advocacy for each other - we have a city that is growing faster than any other in the commonwealth. Be proud of who you are and where you are from – you earned every step of this success. Every single one of you - who will walk this stage tonight - continued to show up for class, despite everything the world was facing. You still came to school every day - even when masks were mandatory and each day seemed more confusing and frustrating than the one before. You went to your games, you participated in your clubs, you applied to the colleges of your dreams, and you did it all - together. Class of 2022- your strength inspires me. Of all 443 graduates of the Class of 2022, there is only one in particular I have to pick on - and I know he’s going to hate it but tough luck - Gianni Bellia will be my fi rst nephew to graduate from high school, with plans to continue his education at UMASS Lowell. I am so proud of the man you have become and all that you have accomplished. I am honored to be able to share this night with you, I’m proud to call myself your uncle and I know Da is looking down smiling tonight. As I look out tonight at the Class of 2022, I see a class bonded in strength that got you through unforeseen circumstances. I see future leaders, doctors, and community builders. I see future change makers, innovators, and entrepreneurs – I see the future of Revere and beyond. The Class of 2022 - I hope you take all of your days, the good and the bad, with a new understanding - of yourself and each other. Go about your days deliberately and unafraid of failure, and you will thrive. Seek out the good in every experience. Share your qualities and differences, and embrace these qualities and diff erences of everyone along your journey. Take care of yourself. Laugh and cry. Rest. Never avoid the chance to be joyful. Accept change. Use your energy, your creativity, your ingenuity, to help your community prosper. You are the Revere High School Class of 2022. Your city is proud of you, and we wish you well.
