SPEECH BY THE OSSD
VALEDICTORIAN
Toluwalase Abiri
I to strive towards new friendships,
would like to start by thanking
everyone who has supported me to
this moment. To my parents and family, to
every single staff member who worked
behind the scenes, your commitment to
making The Regent College a wonderful
learning environment did not go
unnoticed. To my classmates for walking
this path with me. To my friends who were
always ready to listen to my rants about
how OSSD wanted to kill me. Spoiler
alert: It didn’t. And last but not the least, to
every single student in this hall, thank you
for making this year memorable.
The Regent College
The memories and friends I have made
in this school will be lifelong. Every social
night, every event, every class, and every
person here has shaped me into the
person I am today. The person who
cares, the person who strives, the person
who achieves. This school year has been
a time of self-discovery for me and, I am
sure, for every one of you. From the
marvelous presentations at Nigerian Day
to letting loose at Burnfire. We have done
it all.
This set has truly shown me the beauty
of interacting with one another. Despite
not being friends with every single
person, we all have shown a certain
interconnectedness and camaraderie
that I truly appreciate and admire. Thank
you once again for making this year one
of a kind.
As we move into the next stage of life,
whether it is university or any other path,
I would like to ask all of you to continue
towards academic achievement,
towards promotions and everything in
between. If you take this attitude of care
and connection into the world, there is
no limit to what you can accomplish. To
the graduating class of 2025, we did it!
See you all on the flip side.
“To the graduating
