Graduation Speech
I offer my humble pranams at the Lotus feet of my Guru, Best friend, Guide and God Bhagvan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Om Sai Ram respected elders and dear loving brothers and sisters.
Swami has said that Balvikas is a programme created to restore Dharma in the world. The ideal of Balvikas is to raise a generation of boys and girls that have a clear conscience.
Today I have the honour and privilege of talking on behalf of the Balvikas graduates of 2012 and on behalf of all the graduates today I would like to firstly thank you Swami for giving us all the opportunity to be a part of your divine mission and always being there to guide and love us so unconditionally. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our amazing Gurus for all their time and effort that they put into making our balvikas lessons exciting and memorable, for always being there to guide and support us and for transforming and growing us into the Sai blossoms that we are today, we know you will be eternally blessed by our beloved Master. Our thanks also extend out to our parents and guardians. You have remained committed to us and stood by our sides even when things have been rocky, we will be forever grateful for all the times that you have spent sacrificing to drop and pick us up from balvikas and being there and involved in all our plays, sports and outings. My Dear brothers and sisters today has we are on a brink of a new chapter in our lives, take a moment to reflect on the last nine years that you have spent at Balvikas, take a moment to look at how much you have achieved in your lives, to see and appreciate just how far we have all come.
Well, my brothers and sisters just because we graduate today does not mean our mission is over yet, remember what Kubshani told us last week Sunday and I quote “please note that this is not the end, in fact this is just the beginning.” What we’ve been doing the last nine years can only be considered has the preparation or training for our real test and

    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. Some of us are excited, others sad, and some scared. Maybe not at this moment, but at some point we have all thought about the time we have spent at BFCCPS and how our years at this unique school have changed us. Whether you arrived as a nervous kindergartener or a confident middle schooler, the opportunities we have been given, and the lessons we have learned have shaped each and every one of us into the people we are today, and more importantly, the people we will become in our futures.…

    There are many factors that affect one’s life. Yet the most important factor is a decision that will be made when you are 18. Going to college opens many doors in a person’s lifetime, provides an increased perception in the way the world works, and can increase knowledge that will help your career in future.

    Today, June, 26th, 2012, is the day that we, as a class, are going to graduate the eighth grade. Of course, we all know that. But do we really understand what it all means? The definition of graduation is to complete a class or course of study. That’s it, the original definition of graduating. To me, graduation means more than that. It means growing, it means changing, and it means moving on. Today, the ceremony might seem like it's all happening too fast, or, it might seem like it's never going to end, but all our lives we'll remember it, and that's what counts. My two years of middle school have been a time to remember, I’ve learned a lot during my time in middle school, and these memories are what we are going to remember for the rest of our lives.…

    Before I start with my speech, allow me to ask a very simple question. Have you guys ever complaint about your school, your teachers, or being a student? I bet almost 99.9% of you guys said yes. We actually complain a lot, over the smallest things and lack appreciation. And though this ceremony recognizes our efforts, it also recognizes and pays homage to the dedication of our parents and our teachers. We would not have been able to accomplish this much without their help. So today, in honor of all the students, thank you. You know, I never expected to be standing up here but here I am, giving this speech and probably doing a terrible job at it because if you couldn’t tell, I’m pretty nervous. But thanks to NAMS, it pushed me out of my comfort zone and onto this stage in front of all you wonderful people. Succeeding from middle school is no easy task, looking back it surprises me that I even made it this far. A famous author, Theodore Roosevelt, once said, “A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a collage education he may steal the whole rail road.” Even though we have a while to get a collage education, we’ve made it here, to the end of 8th grade. Just like a rail road the train has to be set on a good track, just like our education. So far for this 8th grade class, our tracks have been fantastic ever since we first started our journey. Our first stop was 6th grade. New building, new people, and it were a whole new environment. New fears emerged and I remember feeling like a fish out of the sea. The year went by and our next stop was 7th grade, which the teachers have been preparing us for. We came back much more confident than the year before. We looked down at the 6th graders and asked ourselves, “Were we that short just last year?” And by the end of 7th grade, we were on our way to 8th grade. The year started off at a sprint and it seems to have left many of us still trying to catch our breath but 8th grade is also the…

    Four years ago we stepped into high school as individuals seeking to do well, to find our identity, to find our best friend. We opened our lockers for the first time, looked at our schedules, and thought about how awesome it was to finally be in high school. Four years ago we met our best friend, went to our first school dance, and had a crush on a cute senior. Four years ago, we couldn't wait to get older.…

    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…

    They say that the process of completing a PhD is a journey. For me it has been a long and trice interrupted journey, and I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t happy that it is finally coming towards its end. Still, I have always felt incredibly privileged to be able to travel this road and I’m deeply grateful towards all the people who have contributed to make it possible. First of all I’d like to express my gratitude to Thomas Lindhqvist, my excellent supervisor, who…

This batch of the matric class shall never be forgotten. They have really been ideal seniors for us. They have correctedus when we went wrong and have patted out backs on our achievements. They have not only been great seniors but they have also been great students. The have certainly studid as hard as they could and have made their teachers proud and have inspired us to do the same.
