THE VALEDICTORIAN ADDRESS | FROM PAGE 6 will be continuing their education. Some will take a gap year for themselves. And some of us will even enter the military. But regardless of the path we take, one thing is for certain: Nobody will be there to guide us through For Advertising with RESULTS, our future. Sure, you may have your friends, family, and ChatGPT, but you are the only one who can steer your own ship. Nobody can live your life for you because nobody’s experienced life the way you have. Nobody can be you except for you. So be proud of that. Be proud of your accomplishments and failures. Be proud of your past, whether it was smooth or tumultuous. Be proud of your ups, downs, lefts, rights, whatever. Be proud of your identity and perspective. Because as soon as you accept your identity to the fullest, I promise you that, no matter what life throws at you, you’ll conquer it with strength, confidence, and determination, all while knowing that you haven’t lost yourself along the way. I believe in all of you, Class of 2025. Now go out there and change the world!
