First of all I would like to congratulate my fellow classmates; and thank all the friends and family members that are here today. Hello my name is Fred Grant and I am very proud to be standing here as valedictorian. When I first started classes at ITT I was afraid I wasn’t even going to pass let alone be standing here today.

Standing before you on this day reminds me of my 8th grade graduation. I sat on the stage listening to three of my peers give beautiful speeches that had nothing to do with any of the feelings I felt. The speakers harped on the nostalgia of leaving a school they had been at for nine years; I had only been there for three. They spoke on how they would miss seeing the same faces everyday and that they feared the days ahead – however, I was excited. When I thought about the future I saw all the

(Pao acknowledges that his sister Jillian helped him along with the speech — hurray for sisters

If you would have asked me five years ago where I would be now, I never would have imagined I would be graduating baking and pastry school, embarking on my career as a pastry chef, and launching my own cake decorating business. I first began college as a premed student in Northern Kentucky. Four majors later I found out about the Baking and Pastry program at the Art Institute and I realized baking did not have to be just a hobby. The program helped me recognize that I could have a career in a field
