Surani, 18, delivered the valedictorian speech Saturday morning, sharing advice for entering the real world with 714 fellow graduates.
“I feel like everything happens for a reason and you can turn it into something that would help you reach your goals,” she said.
Surani, who attended Challenger School for kindergarten through sixth grade, and went to Discovery Charter School before attending Milpitas High School, was born and raised in Milpitas.
Surani will attend the University of Southern California in the fall to study biomedical engineering. She has always been science, technology, engineering and mathematics-centered, as is evidenced by the work, organizations and research she has done in the past few years.
