In fact, one day, many years from now, people are going to look back, and they are going to ask you what it was like to live through the lockdown. And while you might not have tales of a lost summer of music festivals and house parties, you will be able to talk with pride not just of the lives you helped save but of the country you helped rebuild.
Because while this stage of your life, this very important stage of your life, is drawing to a close, the really exciting bit is yet to come. These past years, your brilliant teachers have equipped you with the skills you need to change the world and now you have the opportunity to do so. Because as we face the challenge of reopening our society, cautiously, carefully, we have an incredible opportunity to do things differently, to build back better not just for the next few months but for years and decades to come. Your generation that came of age and perhaps had to grow up a bit faster during this pandemic, your generation are going to be so, so vital to that national effort to rebuild because we’re going to need bright, brilliant young people like you. And that strength of character, the…the qualities that you forged during the lockdown – empathy, resilience, self-discipline, patience – those are qualities we’re going to need now as we make our society fairer, make our air cleaner, stop our planet getting warmer. And those are qualities that are going to carry you forwards and upwards and make you one of the most important and influential generations in the peacetime history of our nation.
