Commencement Speech Sample

First off I would like to congratulate everyone for making it this far. I would like to thank my classmates, my friends, and my family. I especially want to thank our teachers, for always supporting and encouraging us. If it weren’t for the people who support us daily, we would not be where we are today. I would like everyone to turn to their families, and teachers to thank them for all that they have done for us.

A. How many years have you been in school? How many of you ever thought that once I enter college that I will have a lot of freedom? Have you ever considered how much your life will change once you enter college?

Furthermore, I do not regret a single part of this year, and even parts of eighth grade I was dreading, such as the National History Day project, turned out to be wonderful learning experiences that I genuinely enjoyed participating in. Thank you, teachers for continuing to find ways to encourage our further learning. Thank you, fellow classmates for helping me and making me smile. Thank you, Mrs. Arzola, Mrs. Chung, and all of the South Pointe staff for investing in so many new programs. And finally, thank you to the whole South Pointe community for supporting each other as we all continued to grow together and find out what our true passions are. I am both excited and extremely nervous for my journey into high school, and I can only hope to find another school as great as this one, that will continue to shape our lives just as South Pointe has. So, as we exit the grounds today and move onto high school, I can’t help but think that we will all reconvene here when our children will have the privilege of walking in our

We are all leaving the nest and flying in different directions. Some of us will move on to a school just across campus, while others will leave to a school thirty minutes away from here. I know we are all anxious and excited to be leaving the building that some of us have been practically living in since kindergarten. I have created so many memorable moments here that I will never forget. Today, I ask you to look around you. Who do see before you? I see parents that have worked hard to give us the opportunity to learn and are now so proud of our growth. I see teachers who have taught us so much more that just Algebra or English. Then, I see us, the formal leaders of the school. We are known as the eight graders, but I see us as a giant 40 person family. We are united by the common factor of our graduation. So today as we receive our much-coveted diplomas in our navy cap and gowns, I ask you to indulge in these last following days with your fellow

Hello everyone! Thank you for attending our graduation. We’re all glad you could make it.

I believe in you all. Learn to love each other and one another because it is the only way this world will come together. Be strong, stay united. To every fellow teacher and staff at Forsyth Satellite Academy, I love you all and thank you for every inch of help, knowledge and life and educational advice given to me in my time attending the school. You all helped contribute to my knowledge and helped shape me into the young responsible and educated adult I am today. I felt like I got to know some of you on an educational and personal level. Big thanks to my two sisters, mother, grandmother and my grandfather smiling with pride up in heaven. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is where life begins and picks up. Stay Strong and Do The Right Thing. I would like to close with a short quote from the co-founder of Interscope Records, Jimmy

Before I start my speech I’d like to congratulate my fellow classmates on graduating. I would also like to thank everyone who came to be here for me today & who have supported me along the way. Lastly, I would like to thank my teacher Mrs. Navarro for being such a great educator, but more than that, a friend.

Everyone no matter who you are goes through hardships and challenges throughout life. In the speech “Stanford University Commencement Address” by Steve Jobs, tells three stories about challenges in his life that he has faced. Over Jobs life he has been rejected by his own mother, fired by his company, and survived cancer. Through all of these points in his life not giving up took him further in his career and general happiness. Steve Jobs was defined by his defeats in life because he persevered through hardship, improved from his mistakes, and was shaped by rejection.

Thank you for coming here to witness my graduation. Without you guys, I wouldn’t have been able to gone through high school. I would like to thank you for bearing with me for the past 17 years.

By now, you have received your diplomas, certificates and degrees for your respective achievements. Congratulations on a job well done.

Now on behalf of all of us graduating seniors, I'd like to thank all of the parents for all of the

Graduation is an exciting time in a person’s life, especially a high school graduation. When I think of family and friends gathering together to celebrate a joyous occasion, I feel I accomplished my strongest goal. It never occurred to me that graduation would be the end of my youth and the start of adulthood. Graduating from high school was an influential event that gave me an altered outlook on my existence. Life before graduation, preparing for graduation day, and commencement day overwhelmed me for reality.

As I look down into the mass crowd of parents, guardians, relatives, friends, teachers, and other members of Southern Columbia’s school community, I can only focus on my fellow graduating
