[Veronica Glarette]

Seeing other people clap, she holds her journal in between her arm and her side, clapping softly.

[Samantha McManus]

"And I look out here and I know many of you are unsure of yourselves. You don't know where you fit. You don't even know if you can fit."

"I remember, and I remember vividly when I stood where you stand, in every meaningful sense."

"You'll soon find that 'fitting' only matters if you want it to. You are all beautiful. You are all wonderful. Your place in this world can be whatever you want it to be, and our job is helping you realize that. Helping you make that happen."

[Blaine Slinger]

Blaine yawned, and checked his watch.

He then smacked the watch, because it wasn't working.

[Graham Jaeger]

Graham clapped along with everyone else. He briefly thought he could hear his father grumbling all the way from Michigan.

[Gary Kelsey]

Gary looked around at the people clapping. Apparently he hadn't been paying much attention.

"You'll soon find that 'fitting' only matters if you want it to. You are all beautiful. You are all wonderful. Your place in this world can be whatever you want it to be, and our job is helping you realize that. Helping you make that happen."

Hearing these words, Veronica eases up a bit, smiling softly. This woman seems very kind and understanding.

[Theresa McMasters]

Theresa walked out during the speech to stand beside Vivienne. She clapped at the last remark, smiling to herself.
