Graduation Speech: Tet Offensive
It good to hear that you are safe Dale, I get the biggest relief from each letter I receive from you. Your father and I miss you so much and hope you will return soon.

I’ve been worried day-by-day hoping that no officers show up at the front door telling me something that I am peterfied to hear. The whole family prays for your safety everyday. I cannot stand you being out in that jungle fighting.

Now I am even more scared because of this whole Tet Offensive. I’ve seen it on TV and it looks like the VC are putting up a strong fight, I mean I’m scared it seems like they may be making progress and I’m scared for your safety. Deaths of the U.S. troops are rising and rising.

You have to be careful out there and check your back twice. The surprise

    Graduation Speech: Freehold Boro High School

    Imagine… you are getting all dressed up for that big day. You get anxious and scared because it’s the graduation for eighth grade. You get all dressed up and put on your gown and cap. Then you arrive at the school. You sit in the assigned seat and watch the children before you get up and shake hands. You feel your hands get clammy as you wait. You wait till you hear your name and realize that it’s your time to shine. You stand up and hear the creaking of the harwood on your shoes. Then you feel your hands and wipe them down, but when you get up there you shine like a supernova. Everyone's eyes are on you. You realize that it’s your time to show who you are and time to reflect on your legacy here. A legacy is what you leave behind for people…

    Great War Letters Essay

    I wanted to write you this letter because now the Great War is over and there are some topics that I wanted to address, and, since we haven’t talked since the war started, I wanted to make sure that you know that I am okay. As you most likely know, I’m still living and working in Washington County, Virginia. I haven’t had much involvement in the war efforts myself, however, I am waiting for my husband’s return from fighting in Europe, or a letter saying that he has passed away. Since he is gone, I have had to take care of the farm and work a low-salary part-time job, which has changed my everyday life a lot.…

    Graduation Speech: Disrespect From Folsom's Career Council Meeting

    Jennifer Lane As I've said before; you can attend all the meetings you want but nothing will change. I sit in that room and get an utter lack of disrespect from Folsom's career council members all because I want to be involved and I have a difference of opinion. I'll gladly continue to watch the meetings at home (after work) and take action outside the chambers in ways that reach for more folks than the meetings do. Your absolutely right, you are a lone wolf in the those commission meetings. These decisions are planned and decided well before they get to you. They use you as political fodder; just as they do to anyone who doesn't see it there way. We have to remove the council to end the outside influences effecting this city. I am leading…

    Graduation Speech: Our Pledge Of Allegiance

    Our dollar bills have the quote of “in God we trust” and our Pledge of Allegiance has “one nation under God”. The Supreme Court now has a new judge who has strictly made decision based on his faith. Their faiths may not be the same as you and I profess. Your religion may not be the same as his and he may not have a religion at all. We have been taught about the US Constitution since we were in elementary school, I remember singing a song about James Madison writing about the Constitution which includes the 10 amendments. The first amendment is the freedom of the people to exercise any belief they choose to follow. This was in 1787 and Madison purposely wrote this amendment to break away from how the British ruled over them.…

    8th grade graduation speech

    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…

    Letter to Soldier

    I will have to be the first to admit, I don't understand what the whole war is all about. I just know that you are there and not here with your families and living your everyday lives. I think that is really rotten and I wish it didn't have to be that way. I'm writing this letter because I want to thank you for your sacrifice, fighting for your country and for me. I know you don't know me but that's how it feels, you are fighting for me, because I can't be there with or instead of you. I do actually understand some of the sacrifice that you are making for all of us here in the U.S. My dad is in Afghanistan and stationed for one year. I don’t see much of him so I know how hard it may be for you not seeing your family. In some ways, it has even helped us to appreciate each other more. I can't deny that sometimes it’s not hard, growing up without a dad for such long periods of time but I think I turned out okay. Plus I’m very fortunate that my dad will come home. My heart breaks for those fallen soldiers who will never be able to come home to their grieving families. Now that I am an adult and I can understand a little better what was going on, I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am of my father and the service he gives for our country. Maybe its cliché but I really am VERY proud to be an American! I am sorry that you are so far from home right now, what with it having just been the holidays and a New Year beginning but really, I am sorry that you have to be so far away from home at all, no matter what time of year it is. That's really all I can think of to say except I hope you all come home safe and sound and that this war will end soon.…
