Photographing Key School’s graduation was especially significant this year, because Tammy’s son Preston was one of the twelve members of the class of 2010. We thought we would share his very touching speech with you:
Life is All in the Cards, by Preston Graham
“The former prime minister of India, Nehru, once said, ‘Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism: the way you play is free will.’ This quote is meaningful to me because we do not always know what life may bring. Like a card game, we have to make the most of what we have been dealt. Using what I have, and learning from past mistakes, will enable me to be a better person in life.
I would like to thank my parents and my sister Taylor who have supported and encouraged me to do my best and to follow my dreams. Thank you for everything. I am grateful for the wide range of excellent teachers I have had in my life, especially the Key School teachers. One teacher, in particular, I would like to thank is my aviation teacher, Mr. Carey.
Following graduation, I hope to study computer science at a technical school and explore job training programs. To further my studies in computers. In closing, we may not always be dealt a good hand of cards, yet we succeed when we make the best of them. Thank you.”
