ENGL 1101 24 September 2012 Graduation Day Graduation is one of the few times where others not only share in your excitement, but can aso be even more overwhelmed for your "big day”. Graduation is a ceremony used to celebrate the moving forward after working hard in one arena in preparation for your future. It is the only time I can think of where a student may quench the thirst of closure in one endeavor and the start of another all in the same breathe. Although we view graduation as a celebration, for me it seemed like a big fat eviction notice since I would no longer be living with my parents. You see for four years teachers, parents, even previous graduates spread the hype that on the day of graduation you will have the time of your life.
Good morning parents, guests, teachers, and fellow graduates, As time brings the school year to an end, it’s hard to believe that next year is so close by when only this year just began. Just when everything was becoming easy, there is a change and we have to start from the beginning again. This time it won’t be so difficult, for what st. Jean brebeuf taught us, prepared the way for the next year and the rest of our lives. This school has given us the courage to believe in ourselves and what we are capable of doing. We learned how to belong and how to adjust our lives by bringing out our full potential to become wiser also more confident.
Everyone always says “High School is the best years of your life.” And to me that sounds like a pretty big statement to live up to. How is High school supposed to be this amazing time when people don’t want to get involved in anything, because everything is boring, or lame, or none of our friends are going? If you elect me as class president, I volunteer myself as one of these leaders, to guide you to success and an amazing sophomore year. And lastly, as your sophomore class president, I would just like to say, this is high school. We only have four years here - and think about how quickly our first year has already
AP Lang and Comp Song Analysis Song Title: Within You Without You Artist: The Beatles Lyrics: We were talking about the space between us all And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away We were talking about the love we all could share When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew Try to realize it's all within yourself No one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small And life flows on within you and without you We were talking about the love that's gone so cold And the people who gain the world and lose their soul They don't know,
They head back to that familiar house that so many good memories were kept. When Fella arrives he is greeted by Nana, Brody and Brit. They all smile as they see their recently added family member. Throughout the next couple weeks Fella started his homeschooling and planned to return to a public high school the following year. If you wouldn’t know everyone in that crazy house was good at something from school, you just needed to know who to ask.
Molly announced, “I am not coming to Key!” My response, “Give us week and let’s see if you change your mind about our program; then let’s talk again.” Molly very quickly embraced the Key School program and began to realize that with new tools and strategies, she could be a successful learner. It was quite amazing to watch her step up to be a very strong leader within her class; at the end of the year she announced to me that she wanted to give a speech at our End-of-the Year Celebration program. Although no student had ever done this, I
Everlasting Blossom Graduation is the most important time in a young scholar’s life. It is a time where family and friends come together and watch scholars go across the stage and receive their diplomas. Graduation is a rite of passage that every person should go through no matter if you are young or old. I can tell you from experience that graduating from middle and high school was great but graduating from college was the BEST memory of all time. In the fall of 2006, I started my first year of college at the University of Illinois at Springfield.
I can’t really remember how I felt towards the end of that school year, but one thing I know for sure is I couldn’t wait to take on high school with all my childhood classmates by my side. I walked through the doors of Happy Mountain High School not knowing what to expect, but I was prepared to have an amazing time in the years to come. During my high school career, I have met so many people who I know I can rely on. If there is one thing I know I will carry with me for the rest of my life, it is that having friends by your side will help you make the best of any situation you are going through. In my years in high school, I have realized I enjoy many things that I never knew I would, such as; running track, participating in school events, and working hard in all my
I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have been chosen and invited to speak to you today. I would like to give honor to whom honor is due, and with that being said, I would like to thank the principal, faculty and staff for allowing me this phenomenal opportunity to address you. I also want to thank all of the friends and family who could be here to support their respective graduates. I can only imagine how excited you all are right now about transitioning into a new venture in life. I would like to give you a challenge to start you off in this venture.
Yet at this seminal moment, we can't help looking back. . How do we measure the time we've spent in high school? In the beginning, we measured it in class periods, counting down the day to eventual freedom. Most of us have grown from this experience, making us better candidates for our future.
