1 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:25,190 Do you have the imagination to see yourself doing something truly exceptional? 2 00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:35,189 Well, to be honest, I have to admit that at the very beginning of this course I wasn't able to answer that question 3 00:00:36,189 --> 00:00:41,189 because I couldn't actually see myself doing anything important. 4 00:00:42,189 --> 00:00:46,189 In fact, I wasn't even able to see myself in the future. 5 00:00:46,189 --> 00:00:56,189 I was lost, confused and really afraid of what was coming up, but I always tried to have a smile on my face. 6 00:00:56,189 --> 00:01:01,189 This year is one of the most important periods in our new lives. 7 00:01:01,189 --> 00:01:08,189 We are starting to make relevant decisions that will be the beginning of our lives. 8 00:01:08,189 --> 00:01:16,189 But far from hiding, running away, being frightened, we have to look up and move forward. 9 00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:34,849 Because if I had to choose just one thing that I learned since I walked through the Galileo Galilei gate, it would be 10 00:01:35,349 --> 00:01:37,950 Do not give up. Ever. 11 00:01:38,189 --> 00:01:42,189 I'm not joking, this is the best thing you can always do. 12 00:01:42,189 --> 00:01:48,189 I joined this high school two years ago, and I was worried about not finding any friends, 13 00:01:48,189 --> 00:01:50,189 new teachers, new subjects. 14 00:01:50,189 --> 00:01:57,189 Well, in fact, everything was new to me, so it can be said that I was worried about every single thing. 15 00:01:57,189 --> 00:02:01,189 However, it was not that terrible. 16 00:02:01,189 --> 00:02:07,189 Actually, everyone was so kind, the teachers were really close from the very beginning, 17 00:02:07,189 --> 00:02:14,430 And the subjects, well, the subjects were not so far from what I expected, but nothing is easy, is it? 18 00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:18,590 I have to admit that I'm thankful for my classmates. 19 00:02:19,449 --> 00:02:23,509 They might not be the perfect students, but they always wanted me to be happy. 20 00:02:24,129 --> 00:02:28,810 And they were there every single day, helping me, making me smile. 21 00:02:29,490 --> 00:02:30,330 So thank you, guys. 22 00:02:30,330 --> 00:02:43,379 The teachers were also very supportive, and whenever I needed help, they were there. 23 00:02:43,379 --> 00:02:50,379 And believe me when I tell you that this makes the difference between good and just average teachers. 24 00:02:50,379 --> 00:02:56,379 I may have learned about the subject they taught us, but not only that. 25 00:02:56,379 --> 00:03:02,379 I've learned about love, about life, about thought, about how to be happy. 26 00:03:02,379 --> 00:03:15,180 And last, but not least, I have to thank my parents, because despite everything, they were there, supporting me, encouraging me, all the times. 27 00:03:16,180 --> 00:03:22,259 And I don't know what I would have done without them. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, dad. 28 00:03:22,259 --> 00:03:49,270 Time goes by so fast. It feels like yesterday when we started bachillerato, even when we were doing presentations in science, or even when we went to the university to be taught about the different degrees. 29 00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:55,310 And I think that despite all the afternoons we've been studying, all the exams we have done, 30 00:03:55,870 --> 00:04:01,909 all the pressure we've been exposed to, we have still enjoyed these two years. 31 00:04:02,969 --> 00:04:09,409 When I was in my other high school, I remember a teacher who said something that I will always remember. 32 00:04:10,110 --> 00:04:10,849 It went like this. 33 00:04:11,669 --> 00:04:18,250 Do whatever you want to do, and don't take life so seriously, because after all, you only live once. 34 00:04:18,250 --> 00:04:33,250 So that's why I decided to study what I have always loved, fine arts, rather than the life others wanted me to live, because in the end, it's what matters. 35 00:04:33,250 --> 00:04:40,250 And who knows, maybe in the future, people from this graduation will be changing the world, making it better. 36 00:04:40,250 --> 00:04:45,250 We might even have the next president among us, and we don't even know. 37 00:04:45,250 --> 00:04:48,810 What I mean is that life changes, so do we. 38 00:04:50,050 --> 00:04:56,310 To conclude, I will ask the same question that I asked you at the very beginning of this speech. 39 00:04:57,230 --> 00:05:03,490 Do you have the imagination to see yourself doing something truly exceptional? 40 00:05:04,850 --> 00:05:11,050 Things have changed since the first term started, and now I can answer that question. 41 00:05:11,050 --> 00:05:19,050 Yes, I can imagine myself doing something important and I'm determined to fight for it. 42 00:05:19,050 --> 00:05:21,050 Thank you all for everything.
