Shane’s Announcement Speech

Just over 14 years ago, I stood on a stage in the middle of the football field at Strom Thurmond High School. As I looked out – on what seemed to me at the time to be at least 10,000 people – I told my fellow graduates, and all those in attendance, that we were quickly approaching a time for a new generation of leadership. I said then that we must be the ones who are willing to serve something larger than ourselves and contribute solutions to the difficult problems facing our communities. We are the ones who can bring change to the status quo. All it takes is the willingness to work tirelessly for what you believe in.
