Graduation Speech and Poem

Here is my good-bye to teaching, for a while at least, while I work harder to take care of myself and my newborn son, as well as pursue the work I do as a performer in the duo Kinetic Affect.

This speech and poem was created for Portage Northern High School's Graduating class of 2008. I guess you could say, in some ways, it is my graduating class as well.
