What advice would you give to younger students that you wish someone gave to you? Everything will work itself out. While it sounds cliché, I spent way too much time worrying about my grades and my future, constantly overthinking whether I was making the right decisions and wishing I had more guidance. Looking back, the things I stressed over rarely mattered as much as I thought they would. As long as you’re working hard and taking advantage of any and all opportunities that

What advice would you give to younger students that you wish someone gave to you? Don’t take anything too seriously! Every negative moment might seem like it will dictate your whole life, but life is truly a journey. Always focus on the bigger picture of all of your positive memories and accomplishments, and how they will help you reach your potential. Who inspired/encouraged/guided you throughout your journey at NBTHS? How? My sister guided me throughout my journey at NBTH

What advice would you give to younger students that you wish someone gave to you? Please stay on top of your work! Procrastination WILL get the best of you if you let it.

Class of 2026, family, friends, teachers, it is an incredible honor to stand before you this afternoon. And not to sound like a broken record, but what a wild ride these past four years have been. For some of us, high school brought about unforgettable memories, friendships, and moments we’ll carry forever. For others, it brought challenges, pressure, fear, uncertainty, and days that felt impossible to get through. For myself, and most of us, it was a healthy mix of both. I
