Student ( JonPaul “ JP “ Wallace ) Sings " 7 Years Old " At His Graduation 

the video is 7 years old....

I loved how he changed the words to match his own life and make it really relatable. This gave me chills and made me realize how fast live actually goes by.

"By eleven we all wanted to grow older quicker" Damn, if you say you don't relate to this, you lie.

Mad respect for him, singing in front of his friends and everyone in the gymnasium.

This song makes you see how fast life goes by.

People in 2024

Forget that degree son....and start a music career! That was unreal! Give that dude a record deal RIGHT NOW...what a voice!

It's so hard to think that after we graduate, half of our friends, we won't ever see again. All this work and strain we went through together, and we just lose it. Nothing but memories.

The fact this was posted “7 years ago” iconic 😂

Man, he probably made all the parents tear up and definitely a lot of the students

The fact that I’m watching this 7 years later

if this was sung during my graduation, i would definitely burst into tears

I'm 75 and I relate to this young man. I too was 7 years old once. And the memories are like a kaleidoscope. Tempus fugit.

Those teachers behind him holding their tears😭

I'm a grown 35 year old man shedding a few tears listening to this. I can't believe it's been almost twenty years

when he starts singing again at

Just passed out this year ... Lifes hard just pray to God and move forward 🙌

Thank you RU-vid for recommending this video ... damn been 6.5 years already since I graduated high school . And 2 years since I finished my time in the marine corps. I can't even believe how fast time flies. I still feel 16. I miss the old days. The days are long but the years are short. What's even more surreal is those who have passed on and will be forever young .. hope you're still singing wherever you are JP.

Once i was 7 years old

Dude's got me in tears over here. I don't even know y'all but I'm so proud that you made it through this chapter in your life. Go forth, follow your dreams and be successful!
