Brad Paisley’s Message To The Class of 2020 ‘You Can Change The World’
Due to the coronavirus, the class of 2020 who will graduate from High School or College will not get to experience their graduation ceremonies (at least, not in the way that previous graduating classes have). Brad Paisley has a message for those students.
Brad said, “Alright, Brad Paisley here. I’ve been thinking a lot about the class of 2020. And, this can’t be easy. It’s not fair. You’ve been robbed. I know you feel that. You should have had the opportunity to walk across that stage and throw that cap in the air. You take the pictures in your backyard with your entire family from all over America flying in to see you graduate in this accomplishment in this time in your life that’s so full of promise. Well, the fact that you’ve been robbed of this moment doesn’t change anything about your potential and your future. If anything, it should give you some sort of inspiration in terms of what you want to do going forward.”
He continues, “I challenge the class of 2020 to take all of this frustration and turn it into something good. Become doctors, scientists, nurses, first responders, leaders… People who do a better job than we have done with this. You can change the world and that doesn’t just change because you didn’t get to walk across that stage and shake hands with your principal or throw that cap in the air.”
Paisley added, “You are the future of this country and we’re hoping that you will rise up and make it an even better place.”
