Sophomore speech

“Remember the past, plan for the future, but live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow

may never come.” (Unknown) Like many others, previous to my sophomore I had no idea what high

school would be like, what I was getting myself into and didn't know who I wanted to do with my

future but when this year came around I found that high school isn't all that simple and makes you become

focused on your goals. Without are mistakes of the past we can't learn the lessons that will guide our future. Some of us

make mistakes like procrastination, slacking off or sleeping instead of doing anything else. Although

we all make these simple mistakes with time we fix them through with a positive attitude, great piers

and the help of amazing memories. Many of us share memories like the cat climbing up the tree outside

Mrs. Harris's room that eventually fell, the bird that crashed straight into Mrs. Hancocks window and

all of the sincere sonnets read aloud in class. Although everyone makes mistakes, we learn from them

and grow from the bad experiences and turn them into enjoyable ones.

We have all put aside time to write and present these speeches and now I want to share my

extraordinary sophomore year. It has been amazing to have this class with everyone, you guys always

made me look forward to going to English everyday because everyone always supportive, helpful and

someone usually has hilarious remarks to go with whatever assignment is planned for that day. Without

one of my best friends Natalie, I couldn't have survived this school work. She is such a great friend

who always kept me on track and was willing to teach me anything I didn't understand. With her help

and encouragement, I have been able to maintain extraordinary grades. Charlie and Austin have also

been right there with me too. They both had to put up with annoying texts and phone call about

multiple questions on how to do many different assignments. I want to thank them for being my best

friends during my sophomore year. Along with a great classmates and friends, I've also had fun being

active in my school athletics and events. Overall, my sophomore year has been terrific. “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves” (William Shakespeare) If you want

something to happen, you have to make it happen. The past and present help guide our future. Your

future is decided by your actions and I know that every students here will be able to succeed in there

life. Roughly two years from this point we will be leaving high school. This means doing our best to

fulfill our dreams but also it is a learning experience. We will all face more sophisticated difficulties

compared to what we are used to now and we just have to remember its all a learning experience and

we just need to do our best to get trough it.

The past, present and future are made up of choices you make, the actions you decide to take

and the goals you set for yourself. Sophomore year has shown me who I am and I wouldn't ever

change it. I hope to see you all in at least one of my classes junior year, thanks for making advanced

English 10 an great experience.
