A speech of a lifetime and life itself comedically written and presented by Valedictorian Carl Aquino, a 2010 graduate from West Hall High School. He humorously relates the four years of high school to a rubix cube with some music in the background.

  • I cant imagine being a teacher and being with unending adolescents going through their lives. The students are all full of themselves and self importance. Watching them over and over and knowing that they are heading where everyone heads...into real life...must be hard to do.

    I can confirm, after 8 years this speech hasn't changed my life.
  • I've invested heavily during the pandemic and earned considerable passive income. I'm pursuing a dividend and growth hybrid strategy, which I believe is smart. Credit goes to my advisor Zach Micah Demers.
  • I show this speech to my students each year ad they write a journal reflection on it. I would love to hear more about his story and where he is 10 years later. My students ask me all the time.
  • Valedictorian: earned his spot. good speech, clever prop, shared the limelight. Guitar guy: showed aplomb moving through mistakes, stood by his classmate. high praise for both.

    Wish he had been my valedictorian. Mine just got up there and talked about how great she, herself, was for 30 minutes. We booed her off stage and she flipped everyone off. Still a life changing ending lmao
  • Congrats, Carl Aquino! Although this happened 13 years ago, still we're so happy and proud of you! Love your speech! 😍
