of each student speaker’s messages is the private expression of the individual student and does not reflect any position or expression of the district or the board of

trustees, or the district’s administration, or employees of the district, or the views of any other graduate. The contents of these messages were prepared by the student

volunteers, and the district refrained from any interaction with student speakers regarding the student speakers viewpoints on permissible subjects. MISD FNA (Local)

“I am very thankful for these past four years at McHi. I am especially thank-ful for my teachers and parents, who have taught me that the world ismuch bigger than ourselves and that there is more to life than just school.I am even more grateful for my friends, who have helped me realize thateveryone needs a break every now and then and that it doesn’t hurt tohave a laugh every so often. During these four years, I have developed intothe person I am today and I couldn’t have done it without the help ofeveryone around me.”

“These past four years have been filled with lessons both in and out of theclassroom that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Through sleeplessnights and cups of coffee, I’ve found my passions to be aplenty, includingeverything from outer space to musical theatre, and I’ve chased them allto my heart’s content. It was never easy, but every minute of hard workhas proven itself worth it. Words cannot properly express how incrediblythankful I am for the people who have supported, guided, and taught mealong this journey: my teachers, administrators, family, friends, coaches,and directors. I would not be who I am today without you all. To the futureof McHi and our world, find what you are passionate about, and pursue itendlessly.”

"This is Me"Songwriters: Justin Paul / Benj Pasek

I am not a stranger to the darkHide away, they say'Cause we don't want your broken partsI've learned to be ashamed of all my scarsRun away, they sayNo one'll love you as you are

But I won't let them break me down to dustI know that there's a place for usFor we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me downI'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them outI am brave, I am bruisedI am who I'm meant to be, this is meLook out 'cause here I comeAnd I'm marching on to the beat I drumI'm not scared to be seenI make no apologies, this is meOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Another round of bullets hits my skinWell, fire away 'cause today, I won't let theshame sink inWe are bursting through the barricades andReaching for the sun we are warriorsYeah, that's what we've become

I won't let them break me down to dustI know that there's a place for usFor we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me downI'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them outI am brave, I am bruisedI am who I'm meant to be, this is meLook out 'cause here I comeAnd I'm marching on to the beat I drumI'm not scared to be seenI make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, ohThis is me

When the sharpest words wanna cut me downI'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them outThis is brave, this is proofThis is who I'm meant to be, this is me

Look out 'cause here I come And I'm marching on to the beat I drumI'm not scared to be seenI make no apologies, this is me

When ever the words wanna cut me downI'm gonna send a flood, to drown them out

Oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-oh

This is me!
