Good evening everyone. I want to start off by saying congratulations to all of you sitting here tonight. Being a part of the honor society is a huge accomplishment. This is a very exciting time.You are all preparing to graduate and move onto the next chapter of your lives. As I am looking at all of you here tonight, I am thinking back to when I was sitting in these seats, being inducted into the Honor Society. I had no idea what the future held for me.

Those are the nights you remember. Most school memories are made
