How many of you are here to see someone graduate?

Oh, so good.

How many of you are graduating you're in the class? Oh,

it's so good. Well, welcome. We're so glad you're here. And we're so proud of the students.

Every year, it seems like our classes get better and better. And for those of you that were in last

year's class, sorry about that. I'm just joking. Anyway, God bless you.

in our country, in our cities. And we bless this day as a day that you made. Amen. I shared a message in the leaders' advance that we had a
