What Did They Say?<br />
Azurae Chalk<br />
“Tonight we have received a great gift - the possibility to<br />
change the world and the lives of everyone in it. And I realize<br />
that everyone says, “This changes the world, that changes<br />
the world.” And to be honest, I’ve never really known<br />

world in some shape or form, and all the graduates here<br />
have learned some key ingredients to change the world...”<br />

“...For the first time we are going to face the world all by ourselves,<br />
and that world can be a very cold place. We are going<br />
in a world where terrorists believe that they have the right<br />
to take the lives of innocent bystanders merely because<br />
they disagree with political policies or beliefs. This thought<br />
came crashing in on us as we worried about one of our own<br />

“Let it be said that we<br />
cared. Let it be said that<br />
we met the challenge. Let<br />
it be said we looked out<br />
for others. Let it be said<br />
that we made a difference<br />
and that the world is a<br />
better place because we<br />
are in it. Congratulations.<br />
Now let’s get started..”<br />
