00:34:49because after these students get those certificates,
00:34:52they're not going to want to know what I'm doing.
00:34:55So I said, quickly, I'll practice this speech,
00:34:58and I'm going to say it.
00:35:01You know, listen, boys and girls, you know,
00:35:04it's hard for me to even look at you,
00:35:07because I love you so much.
00:35:10And it made me feel good to know that
00:35:13you all know I love you, and you love me back, okay?
00:35:16That's not my speech, though.
00:35:18It's short, but I'm just so proud of you.
00:35:22You know?
00:35:23All these awards have certainly shared,
00:35:26and she's whispering things about how small you are,
00:35:30how proud she is, you know, of you all.
00:35:34And I know that if we feel like that,
00:35:37parents can feel the same way.
00:35:39Don't you feel that, family?
00:35:41Yeah.
00:35:45So, I usually speak, and I'm going to read this,
00:35:49so that I'll stay on course.
00:35:51You know, because I love them.
00:35:53You'll be all day.
00:35:55So it's going to be my speech plan.

00:36:12I know you're filled with some sort of emotion.
00:36:16It could be excitement, it could be pride,
00:36:19or just a little bit of apprehension,
00:36:22because what will the next step of my journey be?
00:36:26So you're supposed to be thinking about that, okay?

00:37:18Now, El, as you look again to high school and beyond,
00:37:24I want you to remember the journey that it does not end here.
