00:00My name is Steve, and this is my story. I don't know where I came from, or even what I
00:04am.
00:05My earliest memory is living on the side of the road at the beach.
00:08Most people who saw me just ignored me. One day, the owner of an orphanage brought me there.
00:13And that's my story. Any questions?
00:15Take my Steve, we don't believe that you are here. So what's the deal? You are too late to exist.
00:22Too late to be missed. Get out of here. Go shed a tear.
00:28It's not funny. It's rude.
00:30Jose, you're up.
00:33Yeah, check the wrist, check the flow. From the ground up, now we watch the money grow.
00:38No more empty pockets. Yeah, we set the scene. Living in the lifestyle, chasing the dream.
00:44Let's go. Woke up in the penthouse, floor to ceiling glass, looking at the city, driving nothing but the fast,
00:51engine roaring loudly, metallic black paint, make him say, amen, like a millionaire saint.
00:57I don't look at price tags, he just say, I'll take it.
01:01Working hard, smart, yeah you know I had to make it.
01:04Wallet big, mind sleek, never looking back, every single record, we are breaking on the track.
01:11Got a pocket full of blue notes, wallet looking empty, like in the fast lane, yeah you know it's testing
01:17me.
01:17But you pass every test, got the keys to the city, if you ain't talking money, then you talking silly.
01:23Rich, rich, money in the ceiling, what a feeling, never got many links.
01:28Rich, rich, shining like a diamond, keep on climbing, yeah it keep on timing.
01:33Yeah, money moves, we don't stop, only top, yeah.
01:37The next assignment is making a list of what you want to achieve in the future.
01:42Get out your computers and make the list.
01:58Now let's share our lists.
02:00Steve.
02:01Okay, but I won't say it.
02:02I'll wrap it.
02:04Yeah, looking at the calendar, waiting for the day.
02:06Gonna throw the cap up, hear the people say.
02:09Congrats, check the diploma, yeah, I'm moving out.
02:12Leaving high school drama, that's what I'm about.
02:14No more senior-siders, I'm focused on the prize.
02:17Gonna see the bigger picture, open up my eyes.
02:20College on the radar, campus life, here I come.
02:23Learning all the tricks, now watch me make a sum.
02:26Step by step, yeah, I'm building up my legacy.
02:29Diploma, then a job, then a happily ever after key.
02:32From the classroom to the boardroom, then to my own home.
02:35Want a loving wife, start a family, never feel alone.
02:39It's the roadmap, the vision, the plan I've set.
02:41The best is yet to come, yeah, you can make a bet.
02:45Internship pending, yeah, I'm grinding for the paper.
02:48Can't be lazy, no, I'm dodging all the vapors.
02:51Got the degree, now it's time to build the reputation.
02:54Gonna earn that salary, take a quick vacation.
02:56Put in that work, 90.05 or maybe more.
02:59Cause I'm trying to open up a brand new door.
03:02A boss in the making, yeah, you see the drive.
03:05Living my life, feeling fully alive.
03:07Step by step, yeah, I'm building up my legacy.
03:11Diploma, then a job, then a happily ever after key.
03:14From the classroom to the boardroom, then to my own home.
03:17Want a loving wife, start a family, never feel alone.
03:20It's the roadmap, the vision, the plan I've set.
03:23The best is yet to come, yeah, you can make a bet.
03:26Yeah, I want the ring, want the wife, want the solid foundation.
03:30A solid marriage build on love, not just reputation.
03:33Then the little footsteps running on the floor.
03:35Starting a family, what could I want more?
03:38Building something lasting, that's the ultimate goal.
03:41With a family of my own, that'll satisfy my soul.
03:44High school, check.
03:45College, check.
03:46Job, check.
03:47Married, check.
03:48Family, yeah, that's the final check.
03:51It's all part of the plan.
03:52Just watch it happen.
03:54As you can see, this is what happened to the last of the people who thought the earth was flat.
04:06That is not funny, apologize.
04:09I'm sorry, that you're so ugly.
04:30Today is the last day of school.
04:42And because Steve got the highest score in the entire school on the exam, he is going
04:46straight to graduation.
04:48The ceremony is tonight.
04:50Haha, nerd.
04:52Yo, check the clock on the wall.
04:54It's ticking down to the final minute.
04:55Four years in these halls.
04:57Yeah, you know we really did it.
04:58From freshmen scared to walk the floor, looking lost and small, to seniors.
05:02Standing at the door, ready to take the fall.
05:05Or should I say rise?
05:06Yeah, the tassel flip, the cap toss, no more counting down the days, now we're acting as
05:11the boss.
05:12Remember lunchroom stories, loud laughter, and the stress, pre-cub problems, trying to make
05:17the cafeteria look best?
05:18Yeah, it's a blur of memories, lockers, and passing periods, trying to maintain sanity while
05:23taking all these serious.
05:25Exams, but we stood through the pressure, felt the grind, leaving all the doubts and
05:29sleepless nights far behind.
05:31Used to look at seniors like they were giants in the game, now we're walking in their shoes,
05:35and it's never gonna be the same.
05:36We built a foundation here, friendships that'll last forever.
05:40Even when the storm came, we realized that we were clever.
05:43Enough to navigate the pressure, yeah, the struggle made us tight, walking out this building,
05:47holding nothing but the light.
05:49The teachers saw potential when we didn't see it ourselves, learned more than just the
05:53subject sitting dusty on the shelves.
05:55It was about character, grit, and holding your head high, now I look in the mirror, it's
06:00a new face I describe.
06:01No more bells, no more passes, no more late slip notes, just the future in our hands, sailing
06:06on our own boats.
06:08I hear the whispers of the next step, college, work, or dream, trying to keep it steady,
06:12trying to keep a focused beam.
06:14It's scary, yeah, but look around, you ain't alone in this.
06:17Every single person here knows exactly what they're gonna miss.
06:21The hallways echo with the noise of a thousand wasted hours, but also with the power of our
06:25potential, blooming flowers.
06:27Ready to turn the page, close the book on chapter one, it's a new dawn, a new day, yeah, the
06:32journey's just begun.
06:33Look at the skyline, waiting for us to make a mark, ready to show the world we can ignite
06:38a tiny spark.
06:39Into a fire, yeah, a passion that they cannot put out, that's what this diploma means, not
06:44just passing without doubt.
06:45We took the lessons, applied the pressure, now we're breaking free, it's not just a
06:49piece of paper, it's the key to who we'll be.
06:52No more walking in the line, now we're making our own path, laughing at the future, looking
06:56forward to the aftermath.
06:58Throw the cap, watch it fly, let the memories just ascend.
07:01This is the moment, this is the start, not the end.
07:04Yeah, from the bottom to the top, it's time to take our spot, giving it everything we got,
07:09never letting it get hot.
07:10In a bad way, yeah, we're bringing fire with the wisdom, ready to change the game, change
07:15the whole entire system.
07:16We made it through the struggle, now we're walking on the stage, closing this book, we're
07:20ready for a brand new page.
07:22Class of 2026, look at us now, we're shining, no, we ain't looking back, we just keep on lining.
07:28Up the successes, the blessings, the lessons, the grace, ready to take our rightful, well-deserved
07:33place.
07:34This is the end of the line, no, this is the start of the climb, yeah, we did it, it's
07:39ours, it's finally our time.
07:41Graduate, check, next on the list, go to college.
07:59Hello?
08:00Is this Steve?
08:01Yes.
08:01I heard you graduated.
08:04Did you get any letters from college?
08:07Yes, but zero acceptance letters.
08:10One says, sorry, we don't accept sticks.
08:12One says, do you even have a brain in your big round head?
08:15And one just says, no.
08:17I've tried getting a job and starting to date, but everyone thinks I'm weird.
08:21There is another chance for you.
08:24Just say, I wish to go to Paperworld.
08:27I wish to go to Paperworld.
08:31I fit in, finally.
08:36I fit in, finally.
08:48I did, first...
08:48And I'm like, baby, everybody has to do what you belong for.
