"I decided I couldn't become the person I wanted to be if I stayed the person I was," he said. "I'm not proud of my mistakes, but I'm glad I learned from them." He thanked the people who gave a helping hand to him and his fellow graduates. "I want to thank everyone who has been charitable with their time, knowledge, friendship and love," he said. "Although we will not be able to repay your acts of ward to it, but it's kind of sad," Nelson said of graduation. Kyle Wigg agreed.

"It always went slow until the senior year," he said. "Then it zoomed on by." This was Principal Carla Mid-dlen's first graduating class as the school's top administrator. She said the class will be remembered for many things, including having four National Merit Scholars, but especially for its humanity. The students helped raise money for flood victims in North Dakota, for example, and for a teacher whose twins were born prematurely, i "They've just really gotten involved in giving back to the community," she said. "This hasn't really hit me yet," she said.

"I'm not looking forward to so much responsibility." William Archamboult said he waited for this day a long time, but now that it was here, he wondered where the time went. "It's been a long time coming," said Archamboult, who didn't touch up his blue fingernail polish for the ceremony. "It seems to have gone by pretty fast, but I don't feel as nostalgic as I thought I would. "I'm sure I will when I grow older." to find their places. There were a few group hugs and some tears, but mostly smiles.

"You are a success and good luck to you in the future," he said.

Graduate Nicholas Childrey, 18, plans to move to Denver and look for a job or maybe go to school. He would have been content to receive his diploma by mail, he said. "This is just for the parents," he said. "But it's cool. I don't mind." Before the ceremony, Jennifer Turgeon said her biggest worry was that she would trip and fall when receiving her diploma.

She did not plan to start worrying about the future until today. Mat Nelson plans to attend the University of Sioux Falls and study computer science. "For four years, you look for kindness, we will remember them. Someday, we will hand them down to others." The students smiled and waved as they wound their way through a crowd of amateur photographers during "Pomp and Circumstance." It was a more somber group during "Fanfare and Recessional." Kara VanBockern and Tricia Watterson were drying their eyes and hugging friends before the ceremony started. VanBockern, an honor student, said she couldn't believe it was time to move on.

"I'm nervous. I'm kind of scared that I'm going to trip up the stairs," Michelle Chaples said. Chaples said she'll work for two years before going to college. She was graduating a year early. "I want to mature a little before I go on to college," she said.
