Ben Carlson's Graduation Speech 2009!

Benjamin Carlson's graduation speech at South Area Adult Education!!
2009 baby :)

p.s. thats my lovely boyfriendd!!


"I started attending South Area Adult Education 2 years ago. You may notice that the students here come from
all kinds of backgrounds and walks of life, but you may not notice that for a lot of us, Adult Education was in fact
our last chance at an education. In my circumstance, I was thrown into a strange world at the age of 17
with no parents to guide me and no formal education since the 4th grade. I'd been left behind for so long that I had believed
it was simpy to late for me to make it anywhere. To be honest, I was ashamed of who I was, and I had gave up hope for a future a
long time ago. The thought of having to make up so many years was incredibly discouraging. Without the courage and empathy
I was shown here, I may not have made it anywhere at all. In two years, the school transformed me into a better person. In two
years, I graduated with a highschool diploma, and in two years I was able to create an entirely different direction in my life.
Nothing has to be a certain way. If I was able to fit 4 years of highschool into 2, anyone can, it's never to late to make a change."


ok now he thanks the teachers..which i will have to ask him for how to spell them, so yeah. thats all im putting up for now.
hopefully youll be able to hear the rest of it, theres not much left.

:) hes so amazing!

Aww thanks sweetheart, so glad to know that the human race is turning so low (not to mention idiotic) that people like you resort to saying things like that to people you don't even know.
