Meet BCHS and RHHS's 'vals and sals' for 2022
It’s that time of year when high schools across America are celebrating the achievements of their seniors. One of the most prestigious accomplishments a high school senior can obtain is being named as their senior class’s valedictorian or salutatorian. Bryan County Middle High School Catalina Temple is BCMHS’s valedictorian and daughter of Temple and Cary Temple. “She has always been there for me when I needed her. She also has fond memories of Bradley Godbee’s class where “every day going into class that no matter what, we would have meaningful conversations, have fun, and learn. BCMHS’s salutatorian is Kyndal Leggett, the daughter of Katie and Tony Leggett. Richmond Hill High School Cecilia Mateo, RHHS valedictorian, is the daughter of Mona and Noel Mateo. RHHS’s salutatorian is Ryan Wiebold, son of Amy and Scott Wiebold, and is also headed to Georgia Tech to study Chemistry this Fall. I couldn’t help but be let down that the dream I had focused on for the entirety of my academic career would never be fully realized. Graduates, even if you didn’t reach your moon or haven’t reached it yet, never stop working, never stop dreaming. I think me standing here giving my speech before Cece is pretty poetic.
But really, some of us have had lifelong challenges that define who we are. My parents never wanted to limit me like the doctors suggested. Now, I am beyond honored to introduce your class valedictorian, Cecelia Mateo! Good morning to the Bryan County High School Class of 2022! I would like to welcome the Bryan County Board of Education, BCMHS administration and faculty, fellow classmates, family, friends, and distinguished guests. It is an honor to be here today to recognize the achievements and memories of this outstanding class. Despite these obstacles, we’ve discovered who we are, set goals for the future and are moving in the direction of our dreams. As a key part of our high school journey, I would like to thank all the new-found friends and supportive teachers that have created beautiful memories for this graduating class to carry into the future. The knowledge, time, and effort you have all put into this class is sincerely recognized and appreciated. As our journey here comes to a close, many of us will continue to strive for success in the future by seeking secondary education, by going directly into the workforce, or by entering into the military. Graduation is not the end of a chapter, but the beginning of a new one. Wherever your journey takes you, I truly hope that you embrace the future and keep striving to reach your goals and go forth to be just who you are as you chase your own success.
Finally, as we end our high school career, I find it fitting to say, as we were told every day during our time in school spent with our amazing principal, “If no one told you today, Ms. Good morning and welcome faculty and staff, friends and family, and most importantly, the class of 2022. When I began writing this speech most people told me, “you better be funny,” but 99 percent told me, “keep it short. So for those of you who are just ready to graduate, I promise this speech will not last forever!. Most of us have been together since we were 4 years old. When I was a freshman, I was told over and over again to enjoy it while I can because it flies by. I remember thinking to myself, “you’re crazy this is going to be the longest 4 years of my life. I know I speak for each of us when I say; thank you mom and dad for being so supportive of my academic and extracurricular pursuits throughout the years. Thank you to all the amazing teachers who have made this day possible. Finally, I just want to congratulate each and every one of my fellow classmates on their achievements. To quote Elle Woods from Legally Blonde - “Congratulations Class of 2022 - WE DID IT!!!!”
