Farewell Speech
FAREWELL SPEECH

On the wings of an eagle, our love for you flies;
Soaring higher and higher, and touching the sky.
The soul is not where it lives but where it loves,
And I know, my soul resides here; in Don Bosco.

Good afternoon teachers and my friends.

Every year graduating students find themselves craving for the fun and frolic of the Montessori, excitement of Primary and dedication of the high school as they bid a tearful adieu to the foremost architecture of their fruitful years, their home for so long, and walk out into the world with beaming hearts and pointed steps.. And so will I. Even I will miss my alma mater, my school, my Don Bosco Academy.

Don Bosco, we will never part, because we have lived 14 years of our lives together. This farewell is just a celebration; a celebration from stepping out of the protective and guiding hands of our teachers to a world anew, to explore new possibilities and to prove ourselves a true Boscoite.

Blessed with the best faculty one can imagine, ever supportive classmates and an environment to grow and develop have made my stay in DBA a beautiful memory to cherish forever. I came to DBA as a humble shy boy who was lost in his world. DBA molded me into what I’m today help me realize my potential. Thank you Maya Lahiri mam my graceful ever supportive class teacher and thank you Principal Mam, Director Sir for motivating and guiding me at each step. I believe this is a story we all share. “Coming here as simple students and leaving gaining a lot ready to face the world lying ahead. Thanks DBA for giving us so much.

I remember how we used to crack a joke in the class and Sonal, better known as Hidimba of our class understood it minutes later, and once she started laughing, it was really difficult to stop her!!
I remember Nizel for conducting that awesome award show in class during the last week of our schooling, Chetan for his nickname ‘like kar dena

    To begin with, after colonization, Kenyans received equal chances in their education. School was peaceful because the headmaster was severe with anyone. Their instructors were white, but they never spoke of color and never talked down to African Americans. “Njoroge wished the whole country was like this‒‒He tried to bring out the good qualities in all, making them work for the good name of school.” (Doc. 9). Although education was not compulsory for African Americans, they were still given the opportunity to learn. There were 3,442 schools for 395,000 students and the government expenditure was 1,500,000 pounds (Doc. 10).…

    The United States of America was founded by a group of pilgrims that settled in the New World. One of these pilgrims, named George Washington, helped lead the settled pilgrims to freedom from Great Britain in 1776. In the years that followed this separation from Great Britain, many things changed for the pilgrims, including the development of a government controlled by the people with a new constitution that gave inalienable rights for the people of this new nation. In addition to this, the pilgrims learned how to cultivate peace and harmony with the Foreign World without risking European influence on their governmental structure. Another change that was made was fair and equal taxing upon its citizens. This taxation was necessary to ensure…

    George Washington's Farewell Address was published On September 19, 1796. In his address, Washington began by heeding the citizens of America to hold fast to the Union and the Constitution. Washington emphasized the necessity of staying unified as a nation, claiming that their independence and longevity was centered around being unified as a nation, which meant abandoning feuding political entities within the nation. He continued his letter by stating that the people had the right to change the law, as long as it is only done through constitutional amendments. Washington also stated that if the governmental law is unconstitutional, citizens should have the right to nullify the act or law. Continuing from his initial statement, Washington once again emphasized the danger of sectionalism and the differing political parties. He also restates his belief in the separation of powers and checks and balances, which were written in the Constitution.…

    George Washington resigned from office in 1796. For the occasion, he wrote a farewell address directed to the citizens of the United States. He was certainly aware that his audience would include other politicians as well as dignitaries and officials from foreign nations. Washington feels that the citizens need his closing remarks before he steps out of office. He is informing the citizens of how he feels about his past service, what is currently going on and what will need to be done in the future. In some respects, Washington is just saying goodbye to the nation.…

    If you’d have told me a year ago that I’d be standing here in front of you talking about going on a mission, I’d have laughed at you. Well, here I am. It has been a long and interesting journey in getting me here today, but, as a popular Kenny Chesney song professes “The laughs, the smiles, the trials, the tears, it’s hard to hate what got me here.” Well, I’m here and am very excited to move on to this next chapter in my life.…

In the beginning, Father tried to contend against my appeal, but I wouldn’t let him, it was my duty to take my people to a better place, a better city, somewhere thou shall lay their head to rest peacefully. “I must take my brothers, I must bring my fellow priest brothers, even a proportional amount of villagers,” I said “You must not pilfer my sons, nor will you take my fellow people,” Father said. “Well, you must fore-stall me and my people then,” I said Father.

    On January 11, 1989 President Ronald Reagan gave his Farewell Address to the Nation from the Oval Office in The White House. The speech was broadcast live on nationwide radio and television. He had served our country for 8 years and now it was time for George Bush to take office. He used his 34th and final speech as president to not only bid the nation farewell but also to give thanks to the American people. He shares with America his experience as the U.S President and ensures that he could not have made the changes he made without the nation’s help. The speech is deliberative. His goal is to be sure to persuade the people that America is a great nation and that our nation and our people are looked up to by other countries, making America feel like a great place to live.…

    Hello, I am so honored to speak in front of all the parents, staff and my fellow students today. Wow guys we made it! These past 3 years have been full of so many memories that I know we’ll never forget. Think all the way back to 6th grade we were always the littlest ones and I remember feeling like a fish out of water. We were terrified of getting lost or being late for class, but excited to have a locker to decorate and change classes each period. It doesn’t seem like that was over 2 years ago at all. We came back in 7th grade, much more confident than the year before. We looked down to the new 6th graders, asking "Were we really that short just last year?" And by the end of 7th grade I was shocked that I was officially an 8th grader. 8th grade is defiantly my favorite year. I feel like I have everything under control. But next year is full of changes. We'll have free periods, more homework, electives, and an open campus. The new choices also bring new responsibilities that test us in figuring out how we grow from kids to adults. As we say goodbye on the last day we sit together as Balboa students, we reflect on what has happened the past 3 years, but also look forward to what is coming up in the next 4 years. My advice to future 8th graders is to keep up with your school work and try your absolute best and make lots of good, loyal friends that don’t get you in the bad kind of crowd. And most importantly, have fun! This is the last year you will be the oldest in the school for another 4 years, so enjoy it! I’d like to finish this speech off with this quote : A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.-Ayn Rand…
