Grad Speech
Parents, Teachers, and fellow graduates.
On different dates in 1992 we were born none of us new we would be sitting here with the people we are today, neither did our parents, God has already made a plan for us, making our paths cross at different points, almost like we were all destined to be sitting here. Making memories and friendships in school as our walls and then tearing down those walls that have taken so long to build when we have to leave our home, school. The following is an excerpt from a speech President Lincoln gave "No one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feelings of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from young to an old man. Here my children have been born and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of the Divine being whoever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will be bell. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell." This speech is one of the most perfect examples of what it is like to be leaving somewhere where all your memories friendships and goals have been made. School, where we have made our futures blossom and open up into more opportunities and privileges is the place we are leaving where we made our first best friends the place where all our memories have been shared and made, its difficult but we do move on. I think of these school walls as a giant photo album each of us filling a page with pictures and drawings of the way we were ten years ago as kindergartens learning to cut and glue, write our names and draw all the way up to our older years as grade eights clanning in

    Hello students, faculty, and families of BFCCPS. As my classmates and I stand here before you tonight, I imagine we are all thinking very different things.

    In his article “The speech the graduates didn’t hear” Neusner states that Brown University has three weaknesses: 1. college does not prepare students for real life, 2. Students are not challenged, 3. Faculty are too passive. To help explain this, Neusner creates a mock speech directed toward a graduating class. Neusner asserts that Brown University is trying to make being a student easy, so they do not have to deal with the students. He attempts to convince the reader that this is an unhealthy trend.…

    I’ve grown up with all of you. We’ve laughed and cried together. Though, as I leave, as we all leave, I think about how we’re not going to be all in this together anymore. As the end of our time together grows closer, I want to look towards the future. Yes we’re graduating, but just as Carol Burnett says, ‘We don’t stop going to school when we graduate’. We may be leaving, but we’ll never stop learning. Each new day will be a new adventure. We’ll make new friends and gain new experiences. Yes, I know this all sounds incredibly cliché, but that’s the point isn’t it? School if anything, was a love / hate relationship. We had our ups and downs, and just like school, life is going to be the same. So I encourage you to look back on your own schooling lives; take your mistakes and learn from them.…

    We are constantly going through things that changes us, big and small changes, everything we do makes a difference in our life. Some more than others. Thinking of what has brought the most historical significance in my life is easy, and never did I imagine this could very well shape the rest of my life. Throughout my senior year of high school, these kids had more of an impact on me, than all 3 previous years combined. They were loving, inviting, and honestly sometimes a pain in the butt, even through the bad stuff, they’ve taught me more than they could ever know. I will always be appreciative for how they have shaped me throughout my senior year.…
