 Each of you represents uniquely the class of 2021, but also each one of you has a unique background, a perspective, and a range of experiences. Each of you in common began your time at the University of Alabama with a dream, and you also worked hard to make sure that you were able to achieve that dream. You are here at this moment because of your determination, your resiliency, your willingness to learn, to adapt, and to grow. The University of Alabama is a school of champions, and it continues to thrive and set records because of students like you. I challenge you to decide today to press on using the same standards that brought you here this morning, and it will take you far enough to transform the world. I feel like I was given the opportunity and the tools to still succeed after all the nervousness and everything, so I'm just excited to be here to be honest with you. Oh, man, I have to say it's really sweet. Like, we've been waiting for this moment all my life, so just finally be here, it's amazing. It feels a little weird, not gonna lie, just because I feel like I got here yesterday, but I'm just really grateful just because I love it here so much, so I'm just grateful it's here. I am super excited. I'm a first generation college student in the first one in my family to receive a master's degree. Well, you're kind of in the world alone. It's like you've got to learn more about yourself, but at university you have so many people around you that's like-minded and have the same aims and goals that it's just like, you know, it's kind of easy. There are so many different words, but if anything, I could just say it's the best opportunity that I've ever had, and it's really where family is made. I know they say legends, but I feel like I'm walking with legends every day. It'll be weird to tell people that we actually like graduated after a huge pandemic. Yeah. Speak volumes to what we're capable of.
