Here are excerpts of a speech at a graduation ceremony at Coxsackie-Athens High School in New York recently. Delivered by graduates who graduated at the top of this year, Erica Goldson "I graduated. Should I take it as an enjoyable fortress experience, especially because I was the best in my class graduates. However, after reflection, I can not say that I was smarter than my friends. All I can say is that I really was the best at doing what they're told to me, and also in terms of following the existing system. Here I stand, and should be proud that I have completed a p eriod of this indoctrination. I would go this winter and into the following phases are expected to me, after getting a paper document that certifies that I have been able to work. But I was a man, a thinker, a seeker of life experience - not workers. Workers are people who are stuck in the loop, a slave in the system are locked herself. Now, I have successfully shown that I was the smartest slaves. I did what was told to me extremely well. At the time other people sitting daydreaming in class and then become great artists, I sat in the classroom diligently take notes and become a follower of the greatest test. When other kids come to class forgot their homework because engrossed fortress in their hobbies, I myself never neglect my homework. When others create music and lyrics, I just take extra credits, although I do not need it. So, I wondered fortress if I really wanted to be the best graduates? Of course, I deserve it, I have worked hard to get it, but what will I be? When I leave educational institutions, will I be successful fortress or I would get lost in my life? I do not know what I want in life. I do not have a hobby, because all subjects is just a job to learn, and I graduated with the best grades in every subject just for the sake to pass, not to learn. And to be honest, now I begin to fear ....... "
