2017 Prefect - Dan Ryan

The Last Word

by Dan Ryan

We, as the youth of this generation are pounded by the cliche of "taking every opportunity that comes our way." Our parents push us to try new things. We are encouraged by our grandfathers to grab life by the horns. Nike tells us to just do it. Adidas tell us that impossible is nothing. I can guarantee you that only a handful of people in this auditorium could look themselves in the mirror at the end of the day and convince themselves that they made the most of their given opportunities.
