Speech on Friendship
Assalamualaikum and a very good morning to all the repected teachers and my charming beautiful friends .
Let me introduce myself , my name is Nur Farahin Binti Samsudin from class 6R3 .
Dear friends , im standing here today to continue our English week programme by delivering a speech . Today , im not going to talk about the environment , drugs , weather , education , politics or even about the world wide issues .
But im going to talk about you , you , you and all of you .
SECONDARY SCHOOL LIFE : PRISON OR PARADISE ? You decide at the end of my speech .
School is the Platforms of Life. So Make It Count.
"Some parts of life you can do without, but school isn't one of them."
School is a place to explore, to experience, discover yourself as an individual. It's believing, it's achieving and a time to learn. It's expectations, developing responsibilities and it's social. Highs, lows, emotions, romance, friendships, enemies, relationships, surviving, reputation, joy, sadness, broken hearts, academic, status, popularities , sports, temptations, rules, regulations, and intimidation are words that all come to mind. It's life, hang-in, step it up, plan and prepare. I said twice , Make it count because School is not forever.
If you think about it, though, we should embrace going back to school. When the day comes that there’s no school to go back to, we’ll miss it more than we think.

There is no other time in our lives where we’ll experience anything like what we’re experiencing now. Never again will your biggest worries in life be about that science homework you didn’t finish, or why “Amirul” is ignoring you, or the horrible possibility of getting a pimple every Monday . Never again will you be a part of a community where an age difference of a year matters so much, and the moving up a grade, from junior to senior, seems so significant.
I have some advice . Whether you stepped in , in this school this morning as an incoming freshman , or as a five years student or as a returning to school after 2 weeks of absence , remember this starting today , i always remember the words in a cartoon movie Chicken little , that is “every day is new day !”, everyone has those first day butterflies. Who isn’t worried about grades, teachers, drama, or even getting to school on time? The best way to start a new school day right is to be prepared. Here are some tips to help you to make today and everyday as your best one yet .

Wake up early, set your goals , meet new people , get involved , get organized and the most important is to have a positive attitude .
Dear friends ,
Our secondary school years are the defining times in our lives that shape who we are, where we are going, and what we are going to do. Aside from this, they allow us to build strong friendships with people. We get to see which people are going to be there for the rest of our lives and those who will just disappear over the years.

A friend is someone who is there for you, through it all. Through the pressure, boys, and drama, they are the one constant thing in your life that never fades away. I have realized at age eighteen that friends are not something you should take lightly, if we have found even just a couple of friends we are blessed.

They are the people that we sing our lungs out in the car singing “Set fire to the rain”, the people we cry to, and the most importantly the people who will always have a shoulder to lean on. It is important to evaluate your relationships with your friends. You can see if they are the people you can go to with anything or if they are just another face in the crowd when you have a serious issue going on.

Secondary school is the defining time in our life to find ourselves and break loose from our shells
Lastly ,
Nowhere else but in school is there such a community. For despite the separation between grades, despite the clear distinction that comes with being juniors, and seniors, high schools have such a sense of school unity. While to us the grades we’re in make a difference, in the big picture every student at your school belongs to the same institution, is unified under the same name, is roused up by the same mascot at football games and collaborates to beat other schools in sports and academics. Secondary school is a wonderfully unique experience that many don’t appreciate until it’s too late. So instead of dreading the return to school in holidays at the end of the year, get excited about it. Like all of our parents and teachers like to tell us, you only go to high school once.
In conclusion ,
Sure, there’s been sadness, mistakes, and let downs, but you can’t forget the good times, and you can’t ignore the photographs you took. Secondary school is an experience. I believe we should all make the most of it.
May Smk Skudai will be the greatest memory of all .

    During school when 7th period rolls around we stare at that clock waiting for the bell to go off. High school is a fun time and part of your life that you won’t want to let go. Not only do you want to leave, but the fear of graduation is holding you back. In the movies the seniors can’t wait to graduate, but in life it’s not like that we don’t want to graduate as it may seem. It just means that we have to grow up and not be so childish and immature. We will have to get real jobs and not stay out till 4 O’clock on a Friday night because you will have to take everything seriously.…

    Growing up we all looked forward to starting high school, but how many of us enjoyed every bit of it? High school was a moment that I looked forward to; thoughts of doing what I finally wanted to flood my mind. In June 2008, I received my GSAT result and was delighted when I saw that I passed for the William Knibb Memorial High School; although a bit disappointed because it wasn’t on my top five list. High school was not everything that I expected. In a few days, I met a few nice people. The first week of school was amazing, but after a few weeks things started getting intense. High school; however, was no bed of roses, especially when it came onto the subjects, reports, and school rules.…

    Satire Essay About School

    Which I seem to have learned somewhere along the line of my 18 years in the “sanctuary” of school. Everyday, mind numbing work, just to be able to combine words into an essay which will not affect my life anymore than the two minutes I spend worrying about which grade I got. Seven hours of interaction with people I do not dislike, but do not have a particular fondness for either. I could be sitting at home doing something important, or maybe just rotting my brain in a more enjoyable fashion. I learned much from school, but how much will I actually need when I come into the world of important deadlines which determine the state of my employment and possibly even the state of my family.…

    The last time I remember something as huge as starting in high school was having to move to Oregon from Alaska, but for better or for worse, here I am, attempting to make my mark on this big blue Earth. However, Highschool was never always just peaches, cream, rainbows and unicorns. If I’m to be one hundred percent honest here, I was legitimately terrified of it, whether it be the totally reasonable fear of being stuffed into a locker by a bully or getting lost in a labyrinth of corridors and passages of infinite classes and broom closets. But those fears never truly emerged up until the final days of freedom that remained from my graduation of 8th grade. As the days drew nearer, so did my fear reaching the brim of a breakdown. I was scared,…

    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.…

    It was autumn. That time of the year where students struggle to get back into the flow of their everyday schedule after a summer of winding down. That wasn’t the case for me. I was a junior at Xaverian Brothers high school, who flew through my freshman and sophomore year of high school like it was nothing, and was ready to start the most important year of my high school career. I knew what lied ahead, SAT’s, the common application and more importantly deciding on what I want to do with my life.…

    In 2008, I entered this school as sixth grader where I learned that there wasn’t a big difference except it was bigger than my elementary school. Then in 7th grade, I learned how there was going to be slight change when I go to eighth grade and everything is going to change because the teachers had to prepare us for high school. Which depend on our future if do good or bad because that was going to make a big difference in our life. Finally now I stand here at my eighth grade graduation where everything is about to change. Where I am here waiting here with my fellow classmates and my mentors who had helped me to get to here, by putting all these different challenges in front of us so today they could see us getting our…

    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…

This upcoming year will be the best and worst time s of your high school experience. There will be times when you can’t wait to get to school to show off your new outfit or to attend homecoming week. There will also be times where school is just not where you want to be today and your body will go but your mind stays at home. These times will come and these times will go but the one thing you must remember is not to forget why you come to school. Do not forget why you are attending high school. Don’t forget about the test on…

    Many if not all people change at one point or another during the course of their life. Majority of this change occurs during the high school years and even more specifically, freshman year. Many people associate the term “freshman” with being naive and asinine. However, in actuality during this period we as young adults are just attempting to find ourselves. “So much is still to be learned! So long a road lies before us, and what care we must take if we must travel it alone”(Rand 54). The development of a teen going through their high school years can be broken up into 3 stages; the beginning, the middle, and the end of the freshmen year.…

    It wasn’t too long before I realized that high school was not just a walk in the park as I anticipated and to be extra serious than what I was. Sophomore year is when I figured this all out and in my Junior year is when I flipped the script. Now I'm striving, working, and improving on my learning to graduate. In my sophomore I wasn’t doing so sound, in I would say the majority of my classes I did fail 2 of my classes when honestly it shouldn’t have happened. The two classes I didn’t pass were English and History. I only didn’t pass these two since I just didn’t proceed to see I should have been more serious and honestly, I was lazy thinking that it was such a breeze that I could just soar through these classes. I occasionally wouldn't ask my…
