all finished

jesse kenan marshal green

graduate of the class of 2009

heritage covenant high school

valedictorian of his class

jesse had to make a speech...he is terrified of public

speaking...you would have never guessed.

excellent delivery of some powerful words.

dad and jesse worked on the speech together.

just a few quotes:

"there are a few people that i need to thank for helping me get to this point in life. of course my mom and dad, sisters and brothers... "

"but this is not just about me, it is about us!...now it is our responsibility

to take what we know and further our education. then, eventually, unleash ourselves on the

working world."

"so we will press on! not with fear and trepidation but with hope and determination and maybe just a little perspiration!"

"we have advantages many of our peers do not have! we never have to face anything alone. for we know that the Holy Spirit is always with us as are the love and prayers of all who we call family and friends!"

"carpe diem! seize the day! go class of 2009."

watching jesse pass throught this momentous occasion was inspiring.

he is a young man whose character is something to be proud of.

the tassel has moved over to the other side...now you will have new adventures.

sweet friends we have known forever...britanni, jesse, and victoria.

we are proud of all of you...for a job well done.
