My Commencement Speech, Gift from Mary Lee

At a disposition of adolescent decisions and friendships who share in your academic performance of recognition of honor and commencement, I found people encouraging me and finding it a good to be a serious dimension of accomplishment.  I recall how friends appreciate each other's gifts and talents.  This is a gift from my friend Mary Lee.  Her beautiful thoughts came to writing my High School Commencement Speech in a beautiful journal of remembrance of high school writings.

Friends find your success a serious dimension of sharing a decree of success to be proud of and recognized with a decision.  Honorable conditions of memorializing the reason for friendship offers the right heart of the matter.  I recall the different people who presented their way of appreciation in knowing me as a person of their friend.  I remember how friendship is a gift and serious.

Friendship never takes from you a decision you have committed with a serious delivery.  Friendship offers a hand and consideration of appreciation.  When it comes to gift and giving during a thoughtful consideration of being remembered, I recall Mary Lee and her gift.  Her gift delivered a strong and mature effort of realizing the gift of Honorable conditions in study.  Mary Lee did not attend the same High School I attended.  We are friends because of our participation at the Sacred Heart Retreat House as Junior Auxiliary Volunteers.  The friendship developed beyond the program through a mutual understanding of sharing and communicating serious family conditions of faith and gift.  We were adolescent and maturing under these dimensions always finds its relationship coming to a point of realizing the determined root and foundation.  The foundation was meeting at a Religion.

Now, I recall fellow class peers who never met me at a Religion.  These fellow peers became a gift of friend under another dimension.  This was through a common ground of interests, courses in high school and academic performance.  These dimensions of friendship are depended on the common ground of the root of introduction towards friendship.

I thank them and recall how they shared in my recognition and high honor of commencement at Rialto High School.  Thank you.
