Happy graduation day distinguished alumni, guests, family and friends, ------- University faculty, staff, and the extraordinary class of 2022! My name is ------------- and I am honored to stand before you today as a graduation commencement speaker.

Fellow graduates, today is a defining milestone in our lives. And I felt a lot of pressure while writing this speech to share something uniquely profound but wholeheartedly relatable. It is no secret or debate that we have proven ourselves to be one of the most resilient classes in ------- history. We have all fought battles, both known and unknown by those around us. And I am here today to say that despite your struggles, you have made it to this moment. So find strength in having overcome these obstacles. Although they may have caused pain and hardship, they did not keep you from accomplishing this important dream.
I am addressing all of you today, hoping to be a source of inspiration. That as I remark on points in my life where I have overcome feeling inferior and suffered life’s tribulations, you will identify in your own personal way with my struggles and journey to this stage. Thank you, and congratulations!
