Rezhwan Nariman’s speech tackles the common but challenging dilemma of choosing high school subjects and how these decisions shape one’s future. With humor and honesty, he reflects on the pressure students face to pick a fixed career path at a young age, often influenced by peers or family expectations. Rezhwan encourages students and parents alike to rethink this mindset—suggesting that subject choices should be viewed as flexible steps rather than permanent commitments. He shares his own experience of switching from biology to math after realizing his true interests, emphasizing the importance of exploring strengths and passions instead of following trends or societal pressure. He also highlights that even if the right time to pursue a dream doesn’t come immediately, it’s never too late to revisit it. Ultimately, Rezhwan’s message is one of exploration, adaptability, and support, reminding everyone that early choices don’t define a lifetime and that self-discovery is an ongoing journey. Rezhwan, is as a top-tier academic talent, consistently demonstrating a remarkable commitment to his studies. He is now poised to join the esteemed ranks of the graduating Class of 2025.
