Over the course of the last month, New Jersey’s high schools have celebrated the graduations of the Class of 2021 with plenty of wise words and proclamations. No less wise have been those from students themselves in the commencement speeches by class presidents, valedictorians, and others, many of them reflecting on what has been remarkable school year in their communities, schools and families. The following are excerpts from a few of those students’ speeches, submitted to NJ Spotlight News by their school principals.

Everything about our high school experience changed on March 16, 2020. At that time, we thought we would be home on a minibreak for just two weeks and soon things would be back to normal. Little did we know that the world around us would come to a stop and still has yet to totally resume.

Speaker Oulanyah should lead a mindset change
Tuesday June 01 2021
Dear Tingasiga:
My wife and I were very pleased by the news of Jacob L’okori Oulanyah’s election as Speaker of Uganda’s Parliament. We congratulate him and hope that he will offer a less combative and humbler style of leadership than his predecessor.
We also hope that Oulanyah will restrict the Speaker’s roles and public activities to those that are prescribed by law and tradition. These are to preside over all sittings of Parliament; to chair the Parliamentary Commission, the Committee on Appointments and the Business Committee; to represent Parliament in its corporate relations; and to prologue Parliament by proclamation.
