Snow days felt like gifts from heaven since the term snow day apparently doesn’t exist in Dr. Leaving the campus for field trips felt like freedom to us and somehow breathing the polluted Manhattan air felt unusually fresh. Living in such unprecedented times made us cherish the small yet important aspects in life. Maybe not the underclassmen we so lovingly dislike. You see, all of us have had a roller coaster ride from week-long quarantines to distance learning, masked classes to countless pending Google Classroom assignments, brunch check-ins to Monster-fuelled all-nighters and numerous other things.Īll of our crazy roller coaster rides have been unprecedented, never seen before in the history of education, let alone at EF Academy, because let’s be honest, every batch that graduates from EF Academy is a special one. But here, my intention is to connect this word with all of you you are unprecedented, you are a high school class that has done something never known before.
Unprecedented is defined as never done or known before, and I’m sure all of you have heard this word countless times over the last year, being normalised into a word that correlates directly with COVID-19. I was lucky enough to be chosen to speak today before all of you and reflect on our collective journey in this school, and if I were to think of one word to describe this journey, it would be: Unprecedented. Before I start, I would like to thank all the teachers for coming through for us this year and therefore I ask all the graduates to stand up and join me in giving all the teachers a round of applause.Ĭongratulations! We’ve done it, all the hard work has finally paid off and we’re all ready to take the next big step in life beyond high school. Good morning respected teachers, administrators, parents and the amazing Class of 2021. gave the following speech on behalf of the Class of 2021 at their graduation ceremony in New York.
On May 1, 2021, EF Academy New York senior Aryan A.
