“But before my eyes, I saw it. The sun set behind the bridge, giving off a golden glow.

“I never dreamed in a million years that I would have the courage to perform in front of hundreds of people. When I did, I found a confidence that I never knew I had,” senior Ethan Maione said during his speech on Nov 18.
“I realized that my dad wouldn’t have wanted me to give up…he would’ve wanted me to push myself and try even harder,” senior Matt Dahlseide said during his speech on Nov 18.
