I fell in love with these kids and I didn't want to see them fall victim to the system so I made him a promise I told them that if they graduated from high school I would pay for their college education I have made some empty promises in my life but hands down that was the most generous just tell me it is going to be okay all right no I'm not a bad news person I bring good news like when I promised those kids I'd pay for college okay all right you have to tell them would
you come with me you know like old times instead of I can print out any new itinerary with Pam's name on it it's my errand you're gonna go and you're gonna make sure Michael tells the truth Oh God you know what could this day get any worse it's a ghost he's great graduation she gave a rendition of when the saints go marching in that would blow your freakin mind Wow well you didn't even hear it everyone's so excited that you're here today oh good yeah I know you probably want to see everyone but I was
wondering if I could ask you some questions first you're famous I'm sure you remember this place oh yeah do you want to go in no not at all I don't oh you know what you know I shouldn't go in there I'm pretty busy mr. Scott I know you're a busy man and your schedule moves around a lot but for all your generosity through the years your tots who are ready to graduate thought it was time to give you a proper thank you made us realize we don't need to compromise we have it all if you
made it possible for us to achieve improbable [Applause] politicians are always coming around telling us they're gonna fix our schools promising this and that but you mr. Scott you actually doing it you have taught these kids with hard work that anything is possible you are a dream maker and I thank you I thank you I thank you I thank you there were a lot of times over the years where I was pressured against ed the drug game but I always thought back to my guardian angel and the gift that you gave me so I just
want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to go to college educate myself and become the next president Obama let's put your hands together and give a warm welcome for the man of the hour mr. Michael Scott I am never going to forget today not a chance I don't think I could ever give back to you what you have given me today who here's done something stupid in their lives like skipped out on study hall or mix-up the difference between a gym and be gym that sort of thing show of hands anybody yes bunch

then I thought maybe by the time I was 40 but by 40 I had less money than when I was 30 maybe by my 50s I don't know I wanted to pay for your education I really did it was my dream some people have evil dreams some people have selfish dreams or wet dreams my dream was in the right place oh this to us okay hold on hold on now I can't pay for your college but you don't have to go to class to be in class online courses are a viable option to a traditional
college experience and the best way to access those courses is with your own personal laptop which is rendered useless without batteries and I've one for each of you hold on there lithium [Music]
