The ceremony started and when it was time to give speeches a lot of people came and gave speeches. Our class principal was the last one to give the speech, in her speech she read these lines from the song “I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined, I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned, Staring at the blank page before you,Open up the dirty window, Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find, Reaching for something in the distance, So close you can almost taste it, Release your inhibitions, Feel the rain on your skin, No one else can feel it for you, Only you can let it in, No one else, no one else, Can speak the words on your lips, Drench yourself in words unspoken, Live your life with arms wide open,Today is where your book begins, The rest is still unwritten.” Then she explained what the song means.

Only you can let it in.” “Live your life with arms wide open. Today is
