Hi, my name is C and I promoted from D.
First off, we would like to thank everyone in the audience for joining us today. We would also like to thank each of the officers and everyone who made this event possible, from those who decorated, to those who helped cook. And an even bigger thank you to our aunts and uncle who contributed to our achievements. Thank you for driving us to school every morning, for providing us with a place to stay afterschool until our parents could pick us up, thank you for participating in our fundraisers and for most importantly motivating us to do the best we can. You all know who you are.
Last but not least we would like to thank our amazing parents, F and G who always encouraged us and provided us with all the things necessary to be successful. And of course, our last thanks goes to our grandma who spent all her time looking after not only us, but her V other grandchildren as well. Getting where we currently are in life wasn’t an easy journey. There were a lot of obstacles we had to overcome, but through it we learned many important lessons.
The most important thing I’ve learned throughout my middle school experience was that hard work pays off. Going into middle school was different from elementary school because there were higher expectations, more standards, more work, and much more people. But honestly middle school wasn’t that bad. It was easier than it seems. I learned that hard work does pay off because the more effort you put in, the more you get out. Whenever I had projects, research papers or essays to do, I’d always try my best even if that meant staying up all night to perfect it. Aside from school, I participated in extra curriculum activities which also required hard work. In my eighth grade year, I was part of my school’s basketball team. I wanted to try something new so I chose basketball. I never thought that I would enjoy it this much. After all the sweat,
