<\/a>r. Vetrano in a statement. \u201cIt would mean so much to my family and to everyone at Molloy, in Howard Beach, and all over Queens to see Karina\u2019s memory carry on by helping kids at the high school she loved.\u201d Mr. Vetrano is expected to start the relay by carrying an item belonging to his daughter.

<\/a>During the ceremony, Salutatorian Stephanie Lechki<\/strong> addressed her fellow graduates. She began by referencing the service and learning opportunities her classmates have enjoyed over the years, including service trips with the St. Marcellin Champagnat Society, Harlem Tutoring, volunteering at Briarwood Shelter, and spring trips to Europe. \u201cWe have had the privilege to accept and understand lessons that are vital to our success in life: that we should have confidence in ourselves, but not be too easily convinced; that there are situations for which it is impossible to prepare, but which we will spend a lifetime looking back at, trying to accept, interpret, and comprehend; that listening and reserving judgment is a matter of infinite hope, but action creates change and defines leaders.\u201d Stephanie also asserted that her classmates are resilient, adaptable, and capable of forgiveness. \u201cAs Stanners, as human beings, we must take the lessons we have learned, the memories we cherish \u2013 even the moments we yearn to forget \u2013 and use them to make the world a better place\u2026It is our duty to accept this responsibility with open arms and open minds.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1026-Molloy-Graduation-2017-300x295.jpg\")
<\/a>Valedictorian Jillian Hubert<\/strong> also addressed the full auditorium. She attempted to answer the following question: \u201cHow do we achieve and refine our character and our confidence?\u201d Refining character, Jillian believes, is an ongoing process. \u201cOur character is always being put to the test. Standing up for what we believe in when the whole world seems to oppose us- is character. Tending to the sick and the outcasts of society- is character. Our every act of intricate care and exceptional bravery strengthens our unique character.\u201d Regarding confidence, Jillian encouraged her classmates to look within. \u201cConfidence is our self-assurance, our inherent self-appreciation. It must be upheld carefully and practiced with purpose. Trusting our intuition and following our gut- is confidence. Using our intellect to better society- is confidence. Genuine confidence is powerful.\u201d Jillian ended by noting that her classmates have all been prepared after four years at AMHS. \u201cWe carry memories, empowerment from our teachers, and relationships that will extend far beyond our high school years\u2026We carry life lessons that will strengthen us along our journeys as we bridge our past to our future.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/thebeehive.molloyhs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1071-Molloy-Graduation-2017_approved-300x200.jpg\")
