1016 Graduation Ceremony

Good Morning, Mrs. Williams Jones, Mrs. Babb, Mrs. Semper, Mr. Heaton, 8th grade teachers, families, friends, and the graduating 8th grade class. Thank you, for that very kind introduction, (INSERT NAME OF PERSON WHO INTRODUCED ME). And thank you, all for being here today at our graduation to celebrate our achievements and success. Most of you might know me, but for those who don’t, I am Jassnjot Kaur. I have been attending PS124 for nine years and I’m honored to speak to you today as your Valedictorian. Today is a very special and memorable day for not just me, but for all of us which includes us graduating students, our proud parents, and our pleased teachers.

Dear administrators, teachers, parents, beloved friends, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 8th grade graduation. It’s a pleasure to be standing in front of you today on this beautiful day to express the happiness we all feel.

I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming all of you into the National Honor Society, a group built off of high standards of achievement, not only in the area of academics but also in character and leadership. I congratulate each of you and your parents.

Last year, former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords M.R.P. ’96 delivered the convocation address to the Class of 2015, and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), then-Mayor of Newark, delivered it to the Class of 2013.

After 13 years, it’s all come to an end. No more assignments, no more tests, no more uniform, no more school. To the majority of you, this fact probably still hasn’t really hit home yet, and to be honest, I don’t think that I’ve fully grasped this fact either. That soon, we will be stepping out of the relative safety of TSS and entering into a harsh, and unforgiving new world. But as we -the graduating class of 2016- step out into this new world, it is not as though TSS has not prepared us for this day.

Ms. Earls, administration, faculty members, family, friends and 2016 graduates, today I welcome you to this special day. A day to reflect on the past and focus on the future.

I have loved every second of having you in my second grade class. You brought so much to our big family in room 110. I will have wonderful memories of you and this class for many years to come. I hope you have many fond memories in room 110.

As the Salutatorian of the class of 2016, I salute you! I stand before you today not to boast about my accomplishments, but to give thanks unto the lord for this opportunity and giving the strength to stand as your Salutatorian today! I would like to thank the faculty and staff, friend, and family for encouraging me and supporting me throughout my high school career. I also want to give a special recognition to Mrs. Tangela Jones for being more than just a guidance counselor. She has seen me at my worst and best moments. She has worked extremely hard with me this through all of my decision-making processes and for that I would to let her know how much I appreciated her hard work and dedication.

It is these memories ladies and gentlemen, that confirm for the fine merit of this current year transitional students. I will like to pay tribute to every single one. You have all left and will keep on leaving a permanent legacy of perfection, accomplishment, and a fine character and custom for eras to come. I also want to pay tribute to the excellent educators, the parents and without a doubt the leading group of governors - you have all guided, formed and shape every student sitting here today. Your part has been massively instrumental in decorating our youth......our hope for the future.

Welcome staff, students, family, and graduates. Today marks a special day in our lives. Today is the day of our graduation. It seems with every graduating class there is a certain amount of responsibility placed on the graduates. For this year’s class it is no different, in fact more has been placed on this class than any others in history.

As the beautiful sky happily accompany sunrays, that shined down on the entrance of the field house where the ceremony of my graduation took place. Someone above must have known it was my graduation day and blessed me with a beautiful day. I was so excited, that the night before the graduation I couldn’t sleep at all. I tossed and turned all night, thinking about the graduation and if he’d even show up. I waited for this moment for four long years and I will make the best of it.
