At the direction of Dr. Jason Allemann, principal of Dana Hills High School, the graduating class of 2014 stood in syn-chronization. Clad in Dolphin blue and crisp white gowns, with their tassels hanging from mortarboard caps, they waited for further instruction. Two peers stood before them.

As one collective body, the 655 soon-to-be graduates read-ied to take one last, wild ride together.

“Click, click, click,” they voiced in harmony with their arms in motion, chugging up a steep, imaginary hill. “Weeee,” they squealed as their arms raced down their sides, mimicking a long, fast rollercoaster drop.

As one, they twisted and turned, laughed and smiled on that fi nal coaster ride that is high school.

“Today, my memory ignores the garb that refl ects my high-est degree and I recall what I wore on this fi eld many years ago,” Allemann, a Dana Hills graduate himself, said before pull-ing a royal blue gown from the lectern. “The color of the robe today doesn’t predict the outcome of you tomorrow. It is what you do after this moment that means something.”

He, nor many of his teachers, could have predicted that Al-lemann would one day become a principal and return to lead his alma mater. But, it is a journey that began as he stood in their shoes, on that same fi eld. It’s the journey, the ride, the adventure, one of their own, that Dana’s graduating students are now embarking on. No telling where it will take them.

Members of the community, family members and students gathered in the Dana Hills High School gymnasium Thursday, June 5 to honor outstanding graduates and their numerous achievements. That night, 35 percent of the class of 2014 was recognized as valedictorians or with academic distinction, meaning some 240 students walked away from high school with a 3.5 GPA of higher.

From the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce to awards set up in memory of fallen Dolphins, thousands of dollars in scholarships were awarded to high-achieving students. Below is a compilation of awards bestowed upon 2014 graduates. View a full list of scholarship recipi-ents at www.danapointtimes.com.

By Aaron Sy, Dana Hills High School Scholar of Scholars

Recently, a classmate, Hudson Albert, posted an adage onto social media, one that I think many of you know:

“Please grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Wisdom. Wisdom, I think, is the most important, and yet, the most diffi cult to attain. I know that experience also plays a large role in wisdom, but without being able to breathe for a moment and step back, without being able to see the whole of ourselves and our past, what is the use of experience?

I believe that refl ection leads to wisdom. The other night, I was refl ecting on someone. My perspective about this person changed that night, and I’d like to share a particular memory I had.

I once overheard a boy, a student here, having an argument with his father over the phone. It got rather heated, and by the end, the boy was locked out of his house. When he hung up, I looked over at him and you could see his frustration.

Right then, a kind, compassionate person, who was also listening, spoke to him about how sometimes we don’t see eye to eye with our parents. She said that some-times our parents don’t know exactly what’s best but that we can learn from their mistakes as we continue to grow and to love.

And that kind, loving, wise person’s name was Teresa Carratturo. It wasn’t until that night that I fully realized what we as a school had lost. Teresa was more than just a proctor here at Dana Hills. In a way, she was like a loving grandmother, a friend, some-one who could understand and speak to all of us.

Now, I’m not here to give a eulogy, but it struck me how much I discovered just by refl ecting on one of my memories. I unearthed a rather important moment, one that I was all too quick to set aside as another day at school. I discovered something about Dana Hills, about the people who come here. Refl ection brought a newfound apprecia-tion of a person who meant so much more to all of us than I realized at the time.

So, even though we are young and looking forward into the future, I believe that today, the day of our graduation, we are mature enough to at least start refl ecting on our past.

Right now, try to think back on the last four years: the people you’ve met, the friends you’ve made, even the individuals you didn’t know very well. And six months from now when you’ve lost touch with almost all of these people, refl ect on them once again.

You may realize that one of these people you left behind was worth so much more.Aaron Sy is an Advanced Placement National Scholar and a fi nalist for the National

Merit Scholarship. He graduates Dana Hills with a 4.73 GPA and will take his talents to UC Berkeley in the fall. Longtime Dana Hills proctor and campus supervisor, Teresa Carratturo, was readying to start her 34th year with the school last fall when she died suddenly on September 2. She was 71.

“Character is the external appearance of the summation of all our experiences. It is the manifestation of a lifetime of adversity, defeat and triumphs, and, much like Rome, is certainly not built in a day.”—Shayda Abazari
