| Ballenas Secondary - Grad 2006 - Valedictorian Speech |
 |
Click "more" for a transcript. Max Johnson,
Grad 2006 Valedictorian for Ballenas
Secondary School, gives the next-to-last
speech of the evening.
MR. WITTE: [Inaudible], I can see the home
stretch coming now. Max... Johnson, could you
please come up and do the Valedictorian
[inaudible]?
MAX'S MOTHER: Yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
MAX: ...Just a little bit? [Inaudible]
"Suuuue"... okay.
Ladies and Gentlemen: Honored guests,
teachers, parents, family members, school
board officials, fellow students, and fellow
grads: Thank you. You can all breathe a sigh
of relief now. We're finally coming to the
end.
It's hard to believe that 13 years of our
lives have gone by so quickly. In the
beginning, in elementary school, all we had
to do was learn what the letters of the
alphabet were and where they go; now we've
taken classes like Math 12, where we learned
that, no, the letters of the alphabet mean
different things entirely. Middle school was
transitional, just three short years between
fun and responsibility, and it was over
before a lot of us really adjusted to the
routine of actually having to do work. And
now, here we are, and we've finished high
school, the place that seemed so scary and
ominous when our older siblings and their
friends went there every day -- and had to do
homework and everything. It's a testament to
the care and the skill of our teachers and
community that we've made it through this
period of our lives and became the finely
crafted people you see today.... We're
grateful to them all.
So, over the last decade, it has been a
journey. It's a journey we all have to take
in some form, and now we've done it; when we
set out, we were all one sort of people, and
now we've all changed profoundly in one way
or another. On this journey, we've traversed
the green fields of elementary school... the
desert of middle school... and the rocky
crags of high school. We have bested the exam
dragon -- hopefully -- and we have battled
the puberty monster.
I actually think I may have lost that
battle.
[LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE]
Come on, now.
[LIGHT LAUGHTER]
So, at the end of it all, what have we
learned? We've learned how to conjugate verbs
in several different languages. We've learned
that you should calculate the integers inside
the brackets first. We've learned that,
throughout history, a whole lot of bad things
have happened, and we'd better not do them
all over again. We've learned to measure
twice and cut once; to wash our hands before
we cook, and to wash the dirtiest dishes
last; and, most important, we've learned to
fill in the bubbles on our Scantron sheets
completely, in pencil.
[APPLAUSE]
And we have learned many little, intangible
things that we are all going to need in the
years to come.
Thanks to all of you, and thanks to the
support that we, as the class of 2006, have
given each other, we are ready for the life
ahead of us.
[SCATTERED CLAPPING]
[LAUGHTER]
In the first half of the twentieth century,
Dag Hammarskjold, a Swedish United Nations
official, said that the longest journey of
any person is the journey inward. I think
that's true...
[LAUGHTER]
That wasn't a joke.
[LAUGHTER]
The rest of our lives are going to be about
introspection and discovery. Today, we finish
our first journey. Tomorrow, we start our
longest.
We are ready.
Thank you.

It is my belief that this was fabricated by
government operatives. Why? Listen as the
'unit identification' request ignored. "What
unit is at the scene?" ...silence. Again,
"What unit...at King Street?" ...silence.
"10-5 [repeat] the message about the plane"
Helicopter seen in background of this
pre-collapse footage, used as filler for
audio. The audio is from the post-collapse
response to two primary events:
On King, between 6th and 7th Steets, a
truck/van had a mural painted on it's side
with a plane flying into NYC. Two people
were inside - they got out and ran, and were
apprehended. According to what we hear on
this tape, the van 'exploded'. I cannot
confirm this. If you have any kind of
PRIMARY SOURCE news coverage on this, please
forward it to me. Thank you.
Note that after this van is discovered, a
relocation of mobilization point for
city-wide units is requested at Trinity and
Liberty. Perhaps this is why we never hear
of the incident again - the 'damage control'
team was sent in.
At Cedar and Trinity, the subbasement
explosions from the WTC apparently caved in a
subway tunnel. This is unconfirmed, and is
not the focus of this portion of the
firefighter tapes.
