Farewell Speech
Today, I stand before you, with a lot of emotions; quite similar to those I faced the first day I entered this building. It was not just a building; it was a place that slowly but surely over the next seven years I could call a home.These seven years seem like such a long journey and you wake up one day and realize that suddenly, it's all over... and all you can do is dramatize because as much as they tell you to look ahead, you just can't stop looking back.

When writing this speech, for the first time I realized how important my parents, teachers and friends have been in my life. I would like to thank my Parents for always supporting me in my decisions and leading me down the right path. I would like to thank my teachers who have always helped me and been there not only as educators, but as role models as well. They have not only taught us what’s given in our books, but taught us about life. I would like to particularly thank ..... ..... ..... for being there for me. They were always approachable and I remember having conversations with them on Topics totally unrelated to what they taught and I am sure that I would not be standing here without them being a part of my life.

I would like to thank my classmates, some, who taught me what to do in life by being shining examples and some others, who taught me what not to do! You guys are some of the most amazing people I know and I’m going to miss you all and I will always remember the fun times we had together.

Also I thank every single person out there, knowingly or unknowingly; you've played a major role in my life.

Moving On.

I’m sure that everyone will agree with me that this batch of Class 12 has been one of the happiest and most cheerful batch Abacus has ever seen. We have studied together, played together, fought, competed and above all, loved each other a lot. We all cherish the moments spent here in Abacus, be it the colourful Sports Days, energetic Culturals, dramatic Concerts, or the fun

    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.…

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.…

    As I begin, I have to say, I think the best speeches are those that have a great beginning, a memorable end, and not much in between. I will try then to make a great speech.

    These wonderful graduates are more than my classmates; they are my family. I always think about our past, all the good times and those thankfully few bad ones; the laughter and tears we shared over the past 10 years. I began with some of you in kindergarten, others joined along the way. We all have grown up together and have changed each other for the better. We have stuck together, even though the rough times I am so proud of every single one of them and I love them all dearly.
