"These years have given us a better sense of who we are and who we want to be," said Salutatorian Hadiya Housepian at commencement. "We have used this waiting for spring of 2009, as an opportunity to contemplate on truth and better understand our own identities."
"We have learned to fight for our happiness, to value ourselves, to help a friend in crisis, to give back to our communities, and to establish independently our faith."
