Valedictorian speech from a 13-year-old Catherine


*Look for a new posting each Tuesday and Friday*



Catherine Frazier Patty
The following is a speech given by Catherine Patty at her 8th grade graduation.  It is hard to imagine that this is written by a 13-year-old unless you were lucky enough to have been a student of Catherine LeDuke at some time in your life.  

Her speech needs no commentary from me.  I encouraged you to read it through to the end and visualize her being on a stage enunciating each word and phrase.

Enjoy:










This posting still needs no additional words from me except to say once again what an amazing woman Catherine was even at 13.

  1. One of the kindest, most sincere and loving person, teacher, and wonderful role models in my life. What an insight to her early love for others and respect for all. A wiser and more intelligent lady there probably isn't. Thanks for sharing.
