This high school asked us to be the benefactor of their graduation and give the graduation speech, because we had just donated computers to their school. I wrote a speech which Rafael read, about a “Nueva Vista,” the name of our recreation park. One goes to our park, the speech explained, not only to play, but also to think about a new future (”new view”), a future of honesty without corruption; dedication to improving one’s self, one’s community, and one’s country; of taking care of one’s parents in their old age; a future with a good character. The speech was well received and referred to in following speecehes. Eulalia handed out diplomas, and then the big dance.
