You have not only conquered challenges and grown personally, academically, and professionally, but you have done so with resilience, with strength of character, and with unwavering commitment to achieve your goals. It's a true honor to walk the stage today, and now I have my degree. I wanted to graduate here at the University of Alabama, so now that I'm able to achieve that, it's a true blessing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, honestly. Everyone here is so welcoming. I've made some great friends, and so I'll be staying here at UA for another year and getting my master's in business. Just like an athletic competition, life is a series of choices, sometimes involving preparation for the moment, overcoming adversity, taking advantage of opportunities whenever they may come, and you, Class of 2023, are not just victors for today, but you are prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. The professors here are especially in the education department. They're such great people. They've prepared me well. They've told me, they've given me words of wisdom and encouragement, and so I think this university has prepared me extremely well for teaching wherever I go. We have a lot of resources here at the University of Alabama that's really helped me, and just the memories of playing here and being a student-athlete here has been amazing. I feel like we're just freshman and now we're graduating. It's just went by really fast. It was a lot of fun. Really accomplished graduating from like a school like this, the top SEC school, so it's definitely something to be proud of, I feel like. So congratulations, Class of 2023.
