Award Speech

I don't think words can truly describe the amount of excitement and joy I am feeling right now.

To have my name along with all the other students who have received their award before me is surprising and hubmling in itself, let alone for me to receive an award myself.

Looking around, there are so many people here with us tonight that have so much more talent and potential that I do; For instance we enjoyed a stop motion animation that afellow student spent three months- their entire summer to create and bring to us tonight.

Earlier we were graced with a piano piece that another student had written themselves.

Seeing all of this talent, all this devotion, made me think: "What do I have to offer?"

As I'm standing here at this podium, with my award for my audio and visual work throughout this year, I still do not think i have an appropriate answer; moreso just a guess as to what I have to offer.

I mean, throughout my high school years here, I did not have much of a clue what I wanted to do with my life; as far as I had been aware, I had no real passion nor direction. That is, until i stepped into video production.

I found my passion working with cameras, audio, just anything regarding video in general. That's what I have to offer.

I mean, they put a picture of me working the camera when we held that event with our principal.

They have a Picture of me, that isn't my portrait. That alone makes me happy, but now, I get to leave the last night I'll be a senior with an award for working with my passion. Video production.

Thank you, Class of Twenty-fourteen.
