I am greatly honored to have been chosen to be the class speaker for perhaps the finest graduating class ever at Yucaipa High School, the class of 2017! As I considered my options for this address, I have decided to share with you events from my life that I hope you will find inspiring, moivational, and perhaps even humorous.

Daisy is what keeps me going.
