 Good afternoon and welcome. My name is Justin Moscoto and I am the Vice President of the Class of 2011. At this time would you please rise for the presentation of the colors, the national anthem sung by Sandy Medina, member of the Class of 2011, and the Pledge of Allegiance to be given by Cadet Command Sergeant Major Vazquez. Please remain standing for the invocation. Oh shit. Please remove your hats. Would you join me in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and the Texas Pledge? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Honor the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to the Texas, one state, under God, one and indivisible. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Would you please bow your heads? Dear Lord, please bless these graduates as they go into the world to make it a better place. While they pursue their dreams, gently guide them, lead them, show them your way to success and happiness through service to others while they maximize their own potential. Fill them with joy when they reach their goals, strengthen them as they deal with life's obstacles, and show them that every challenge is a path to further development. Give them the intelligence to make a plan for their future. Give them the patience and persistence to pursue their ambitions. Most of all, give them caring hearts to look for ways to help the people they meet on their life's journey. Encourage them and lift them up now as they spread their wings into a clear sky of limitless opportunity. Let each and every graduate here be wrapped in the warmth of your love and let your wisdom show them the way to make the most of their lives. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. Please be seated.

At this time it is my pleasure to introduce the president of the senior class, Ms. Daniela Hernandez. Thank you, Ms. Lopez. Class of 2011, senior year is all about moments. Moments such as being awarded the infamous spirit stick for being the loudest, most spirited class at the football pep rallies, important moments like the search for the perfect college, finally having the ability to purchase prom tickets, and to experience this moment, graduation. However, as we sit here in front of our families and friends dressed in identical graduation robes and with a perfectly planned future ahead of us, a moment of surrealism begins to sink in. It was moments ago we all walked into the front doors of Burbank for one last school year. As seniors, looking forward to being with our friends, it was moments ago we were all united as one voice, cheering on our football team during homecoming. Moments ago when we were all sleep deprived and drenched in blood, sweat, and tears over the college application process, it was just moments ago we survived our last nine weeks grading period. Although senior year passed us by in the blink of an eye, it was full of some of the most special moments of our lives. We all produced the best students in San Antonio, and you my fellow seniors are proof of it. No matter what clubs, organizations, or academic programs we belong to, at the end of the school day we were all bulldogs. We all shared that love for Luthor who stood proudly in the bulldog foyer. We all loved hugging and waving at our friends who met us by our lockers each passing period, and we all simply felt at home whenever we were on campus. Although the familiar routine of school will be missed, our future lies ahead of us. This anticipated moment is finally here. We stand on the precipice of life, ready to take the leap of faith and jump headlong into the waters of adulthood, ready to swim by ourselves. When we feel ourselves start to sink, we can rest assured knowing our fellow bulldogs will always be there for us, loyally awaiting. I have the honor of representing the Luthor Burbank High School graduating class of 2011. I take this moment to deeply thank each and every one of you for that opportunity. I conclude my speech with the saying that we've heard repeatedly since freshman year. Now permanently etched into our hearts. Once a bulldog, always a bulldog. We're orange and white forever. And now I am pleased to introduce to you our salutatorian, Jennifer Galavies. Class of 2011, although this part of our lives is about to be over, it all started in elementary school. The commencing of our educational chapter arrived for some in Pre-K and others in kindergarten. Some of us even cried as we were exposed to a new environment, while others didn't shed a tear. No matter the fact, this is where we learned the fundamentals of our educational experience. Middle school is where we found ourselves and diverged with different traits we came to possess. But still, there was a lot to learn. High school arrived rapidly. It was where we formed bonds that connected us to others. Education no matter what grade level has nurtured and raised us to be the future leaders in our society. Every teacher facilitated our learning experience and brought out passions in us we didn't dream existed. These educators influenced and impacted us in so many ways. Their salary was not of importance as much as the significance of enriching our lives. Education not only from Burbank, but from the elementary and middle schools we attended laid a strong foundation in all of you that sit here before me. Graduates, as generations before us have done their part, the torch has been passed and the task has been given for us to illuminate our future. We will each follow a different path and be the authors of our own story. Time has turned the pages of this chapter in our lives and it has come to a close. Although we knew this day would come, it's not the end of our journey as there are still many blank pages in our book waiting to be filled. So go forth and begin a new chapter. Congratulations, Class of 2011. Thank you, Jennifer. This evening our valedictorian, Myra Balmier de Terejo, is representing Burbank High School in Washington D.C. at the National History Fair. Her speech was recorded prior to this ceremony to be played at this time. Hello everyone. I'm sorry I cannot be there with you today, but it is a great honor to be able to share my speech with all of you on this momentous occasion. Although we all knew our time in high school would come to an end, it is difficult to realize that this time is now. We are about to go through a great transition from adolescence to adulthood, beginning to open our eyes to the real world. It is both nerve-wracking and exciting, and it is hard not to feel a little nostalgic. High school was such a significant time in our lives, where we forged our character and became the people we are today. So honor all we have gone through. I thought it might be interesting if I wrote a poem. I did my best to reflect the high school experience, and I hope you will enjoy it. Hello Burbank Class of 2011. It seems like just yesterday we were only seven. But before we knew it, time quickly flew, and we were starting our first day of high school. Small little freshmen nervous and scared. For such a big change, we were hardly prepared. But we made some new friends and knew we could survive another year in this crazy behind. We became more involved in activities and clubs, discovering new talents, passions, and loves. As juniors, the reality began to sink in. We needed to work hard and fight to win. To have a successful future someday, we had to pass our tests and classes come what may. Then senior year was finally here. In the blink of an eye, the end was drawing near. As we get ready to take the next step, let us reflect upon the obstacles we've left. We've all faced challenges both small and large. But we confronted them head on and learned to take charge. People have entered and gone from our lives. We've gone through many moments of joy and strife. The laughter we share and tears we've shed are the precious memories of the lives we've left. With an old phase of our lives, we must part. But what seems like the end is only the start. We must thank God and our family and friends as this helped us make it through from beginning to the end. To the principals, teachers, counselors, administrators, and staff, thank you on our behalf. I would also like to thank all of you for your time and attention. And there is one last thing I would like to mention. That no matter what you hope to achieve, you can do anything if you just believe. Thank you. Thank you, Myra. And we hope wherever you are in Washington, you're representing us well. Seniors, I challenge you to dream big and hold the highest vision possible for your life. I am glad that our journey brought us together. And wherever your journey takes you, keep that bulldog pride. And don't forget where you came from because I will never forget you. And remember that when I say Luther, you say Luther, Luther. When I say bulldog, you say pride. Bulldog, bulldog. When I say seniors, you say ready. Seniors, seniors, seniors. Congratulations, seniors. Miss Adela Segovia, if you can please come to the podium. At this time, with the class of 2011, please stand. Miss Segovia, as principal of Luther Burbank High School, I affirm that those students receiving diplomas tonight have met all the standards set by the Texas Education Agency and the San Antonio Independent School District and are eligible to receive a diploma. Graduates, please be seated. Good evening, everyone. Oh, good afternoon, I should say. Parents, grandparents, guardians, and family, friends. I want to welcome you to the 2011 commencement ceremony for the Luther Burbank High School class of 2011. Councilman Medina, Dr. Daron, Miss Betty Burks, Dr. Saxanian, administrators, and faculty. Today is a celebration of a milestone accomplishments in the lives of these graduates before us. First of all, I dearly would like to extend my gratitude to our parents that our valedictorian is not here today with us, but I would like to extend a special congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Jose Delia Almada, parents of Maya Almada Trejo, your 2011 valedictorian for giving up a special day, not only to her parents, but to see their child cross the stage is one of her milestones that she's given up today to represent Burbank High School in Washington, D.C., in the National History Fair after reaching an advancement to this prestige fair. I hope Myra and Mr. and Mrs. Almada, please take this message back to her. She is not seeing us through Camweb that we love her and we wanna thank her for representing Burbank High School and your class 2011. Before we begin, I want all my senior class students to please stand. I would like for each and every one of you to turn around and face the audience and scream and holler and send the love to those that are out there that have been your support all this time. All right, all right guys, let's turn it back around. At the same token, I'm going to reiterate and have our parents, grandparents, guardians, aunts, uncles, or anyone that has made a significant impact in any of these seniors that are standing before us, please rise and give them a round of applause for their hard earned education. Thank you. Class of 2011, please be seated. I wanna start today and begin with this quote. There is no limit on what the heart can love, the mind can imagine, or the human being can achieve. This quote begins with there is no limit on what the heart can love. Love is a desire that one carries internally. It is the meaning that becomes deeper and deeper and it sparks thoughts more and more. You will recall when you first started school 13 years ago when mom, dad, grandma, aunts, uncles went and left you in the door of your kindergarten class. Some of you probably cried, hugged onto your parents' leg with a wrap that was, that they had to literally peel you off. Yeah, that was love that you felt with sensation of fear, anxiety, happiness, and the unexpected rush through that little body. There was something very significant and important about that day, the beginning of your new school and life. So all of that anticipated enthusiasm and nervousness ready to discover the unknown, experience was the new face of your life. Love will continue to carry on as you embark your future. You again will feel the love to want to learn bigger and better things in life. Love will guide you and continue to motivate you because you can achieve anything with determination and ambition and the drive to succeed. Love also fails, but there are no mistakes in life to know that mistakes do not define you. They mold you. I urge you, the class of 2011, have the courage to stand for what you love. Believe in and never give in because love is internally and no one can control that but you. The second part of this quote is, mine can imagine. I ask you to just close your eyes for just a moment and think about that first day that rushed past the 13 years of your life. Imagine all the obstacles, the trials and tribulations and that many of you have faced. Some of you can't imagine 13 years have gone by, can you? Today not only marks the end of your high school career but the start of your new life. Through the past 13 years, and you have experienced when a national calls onto war, you all have faced poverty, you all have faced national disasters, and our economic crisis. You are the generation that will keep up and accept the challenges you are faced with the future. Imagine now as you leave this evening pursuing an ambition and becoming doctors, teachers, entering the workforce, joining the military, or whatever your imagination will take you. You need to aim to become productive citizens in our society that will make a difference in the world. The third part of this quote is, human beings can achieve. Class of 2011, I want you to achieve your goals that you love, imagine, and you will achieve. I will continue to pray for all my children that is you to achieve the almost dream. Set goals that you want to achieve. If for some reason you fail in one thing, get up. Do another, do not stop. Chasing your dreams, because failure is the key to success. It only motivates you to love, imagine, and achieve for bigger and better things. I personally chase my dream after 20 years of being out of high school. But I never stop loving, imagining, and achieving. I will continue to set goals for myself, and I know that you will do the same. Senior class of 2011, I wish you all the best. Keep loving, imagining, and achieving your dreams. At this time, Dr. Deron, President Howard, I would like to ask for a personal privilege. I myself have a niece that is graduating from this class. Andrea, would you please stand? My brother-in-law Ray, I don't know where you're at. My sister, I don't know. Wherever y'all at, please stand. And Andrea, your mom, I don't know where they're at. But wherever y'all are at, I want to thank you for allowing Burbank High School to continue to educate your daughter. And I thank you for supporting her through her trials and tribulations.

Ladies and gentlemen, Daniela Hernandez will now present the 2011 graduates of Burbank High School. It has been a journey that seemed never ending and yet has gone by so quickly. And now we're ready to face the future with a sense of accomplishment. I pray as we leave to go our separate ways, we cherish all that we have learned and all the friends that we have made. We thank our teachers and the staff, God. We pray that you will take this in your hands and hold us highly in the years ahead. As we seek to follow our dreams, we pray, Lord, that you will always guide us. High school is something we completed. Life is something we experience. And success is defined in a number of matter of ways. I will pray each of us will find ours. Amen.
