There wasn’t a dry eye in the room when young Jaxon Carter delivered a speech as he graduated from Kindergarten, dedicating his hard work, good grades, and spelling bee victory to his deceased mother.
The 6-year-old lost his “beautiful mommy” Taryn Marie Gainey in an apartment fire in 2022, and was enrolled in a STEM-focused public Kindergarten just 2 months later.
Everything was new—life had taken an unhappy aspect of novelty, the school was new, and there were new faces, new rules, and new concepts to take on.
But Jaxon conquered it all, and as he neared the end of his time at New Dawn Academy, the boy was asked if he could deliver a short speech at the Academy’s Kindergarten graduation ceremony.
According to Justin Carter, Jaxon’s father, he worked on the speech with his grandmother in secret, and when the day of the ceremony arrived, it had turned into a full valedictory speech.
“When I started kindergarten at New Dawn Academy in August 2022, I was a little 5-year-old who had lost my beautiful mother a month before,” Jaxon said, taking a long breath after delivering that line.

“I learned to play with other kids, read books, answer or ask questions like how or why, use correct grammar, and use my school tablet. My kindergarten year helped me grow braver, smarter, kind-hearted, and more grateful.”
He went on to thank his father, his teacher, and his grandparents.

“I dedicate my speech, good grades, all school awards, and my Kindergarten graduation to my beautiful mommy, who I will always love and miss so very much,” he said. “I know she will always be with me in my heart.”
The speech blew away all who heard it, and rapturous applause followed closely after.
