“Mrs. Roberts, will you remember us in twenty years?”
OF 2015
A couple of you were sitting in my office when a student from 20+ years prior came by on an admissions tour. I was overjoyed to see her with her precious little ones, and as I returned to our conversation after they left, you asked, “Mrs. Roberts, will you remember us in twenty years?” I remember at the time thinking, “Well, of course! I remembered your father when you walked in my door twenty years after I taught him!” However instead of comparing a teen to his father, I simply assured, “Well, of course I will. How could I forget you?”
I would like to make sure that none of us forgets how truly blessed we are. Very few people are given the opportunity to complete their education at such an edifying institution as UMS-Wright. For the instruction, leadership, care, and patience that our family, faculty, coaches, and friends at UMS have given us, we will be eternally grateful. Without a single one of the people sitting in the auditorium today, none of us would be where we are. I would be remiss not to acknowledge the example of true thankfulness, dedication, and selflessness that our classmate Krisanna Roberts laid out for us. I think that all of you would agree that she is indeed here with the class of 2015 tonight. In the words of Krisanna and 2010 valedictorian Drew Ferguson, I feel confident that all of us have a promising future—vibrant, rewarding, and bathed in sunshiney yellow. -Brown Sisson, Valedictorian Though some of us end with 14 years here at UMS-Wright and others finish with a fraction of that, each of us leaves with an overwhelming collection of opportunities, gifts, and, more importantly, memories. Though I never experienced the Easter Day parade, the plaid skirts, or the bangs and braces of middle school with my classmates, I am lucky enough to say that, despite spending only four short years as a UMS-Wright Bulldog, I leave with the same expectations, lessons, and values of mind, body, and spirit. -Annie Maisel, Salutatorian
