Two page handwritten speech to graduating students that emphasizes how larger achievements are comprised of numerous smaller ones, reminds new graduates of the sacrifices of their parents and teachers, and recites directly from the poem "The Bridge Builder" by Will Allen Dromgoole, about a man who builds a bridge for the benefit of others even though he will only need to use it a single time.
