Adapted from draft 6: Write a personal essay about an experience reminded by A Walk to the Jetty. Farewell It was the night before I set off. I sat on the floor in my lovely bedroom‚ enjoying myself in creating a mess when I tried to figure out what to take with to college. It’s been too long that I could spend my time just doing nothing; to me that was like running into a pink elephant during the past several years.

Greeting class of 2016; we did it. I would like to congratulate the School of Mayfield Secondary School on graduating. We reached here a short four years‚ now it’s time to leave. Seems like yesterday we were all shy little 14 year old’s walking into a huge school‚ trying to figure out where our class was located. It was terrifying walking into a school filled with people so much taller and older than us‚ and the Grade 12s; I didn’t even want to look at them without thinking we would get bullied.

There’s an old Beatles song that begins: "There are places I remember all my life‚ Though some have changed Some forever‚ not for better Some have gone and some remain." It seems to me‚ when we look back at our years at Thomas Middle School‚ we will have many of the same feelings. Who can forget Rory getting stuck in a mudpit at Loredo Taft? Mr. G’s inspired reading of "The Tell Tale Heart?" When Mr. B electrocuted the whole classroom? Or getting the chance to pie a teacher when

I find myself to be a very photogenic person. Birthday parties‚ vacations and other special events are all recorded in photographs in my room. One specific picture hanging up on my wall‚ is forever engraved in my mind. I often catch a glimpse of it in the evenings when I come home. I grab it‚ lay on my bed and go back to the best night of my life. The image in the 4x7 thick rectangular photograph was a moment captured by my father. Later on he told me that he had never seen me that happy‚ ever!

serving his duty in the Marine Corps. One of his more outstanding awards was the Sylvanus Thayer Award. On May 12‚ 1962 General MacArthur gave his farewell speech after receiving his honorable medal (MacArthur‚ 1962).

Babe Ruth’s Farewell to Baseball speech was delivered on April 27th 1947 at the Yankee Stadium in New York. Babe Ruth at the time was 52 years old and dying of throat cancer‚ his speech was directed towards his dedicated fans. He wanted to thank everyone for their kind words throughout the years and he knew he wasn’t going to be around much longer. He began by speaking about how horrible his course voice sounded and how it felt just as bad. That statement I’m not quite sure if it could be construed

Examining the Key to Happiness In David Foster Wallace’s graduation speech‚ given to the Kenyon College graduating class of 2005‚ Wallace urges the audience to seek a more open minded perspective on the world. Arguing that societies “default setting” is that of pure self-centered thinking‚ Wallace strives to change the way we all view life before us. He states that liberal education teaches one‚ not how to think (as most believe)‚ but rather teaches one the ability to choose how we want to think
