[Spoken Word]

I just really wanna say thank you

Um, for every single thing that everybody does in this room for me

Because I did grow up away from my family

Moving out of Texas, coming here and all of you have raised me in so many different ways

And challenged me as a person

So I, I have this launch pad you've all given me 'cause now I can do so many wonderful things because of this

You've helped me grow up and watched me grow up and I really hope that I won't let you down with everything else that I do

So thank you for being a part of my life and the beginning of something I hope lasts a long time
