Not A New Chapter But A New Book Standing in the hallway, alone with nothing but my memories, I do not feel alone. The halls may be empty as it is long after bell for dismissal, but memories flash all around me. The silence is filled with laughter from the recent lightsaber battle and the beating of the drums from the senior parade of instruments. The aroma of fresh baked cookies causes my mouth to water as the memory of baking cookies with National Honor Society flashes by. The white poster brings back the snowy day of sophomore semi-formal with the scent of sweaty teens packed in like sardines trying to watch an old lady dance with a fellow student filling my nostrils. My feet ache with remembrance of sprinting from gym class to …show more content…
After an uneventful summer came sophomore year. This was the year that I realized I had a talent for public speaking. I entered Poetry Out Loud for the first time, and even though my palms were sweaty and my voice trembled, I was so proud of myself for standing on that stage. I became even more confident public speaking in May when I had to present my essay that won first place for Girl Scout in front of five hundred business representatives. The purpose of the ceremony was to encourage businesses to donate and sponsor Girl Scouts. Though my whole body shook with nerve as I spoke my nerves dissipated, and my voice grew stronger. These events would serve as the basis for my public speaking skills in the future and leave me feeling empowered for later speaking engagements. Sophomore year was also the year I took my first biology class and realized that was the path I was meant to follow. Biology was a love of mine, and I saw it as something I could do with the rest of my life. Another class I took was Algebra 2 Honors. Math had always been easy for me up until this point. This class caused me countless tears and nearly had me dropping down a level. However, in the end I pulled an A in the class and realized that time and effort does pay off. Not everything will be easy, but if you fight hard enough for something, you can do anything. The summer
After reading and view the mob mentality pieces, I conclude that the mobs find themselves invisible, unable to be caught for their actions. For instance, Beitler’s, photograph, shows young men and woman surrounding two hanging bodies in a tree, the men and woman at the lynching are smiling and pointing. This image is explaining that they’re proud of their actions, and they are showing off to everyone what they did.
High school is supposed to be the place where you have fun and a time in your life you’re supposed to enjoy. Movies often trick you into believing that high school is an amazing time in your life and there is nothing but parties and fun. In Bring it on, they portrayed the fun and exciting part of high school cheer-leading, however they intentionally leave out the tough times high school students’ face in school and in their practices. In other popular movies, such as High School Musical the students have no pressures other than the next basketball game. In reality, this doesn 't happen. The constant pressure is affected by the grade level you are in. In high school, students can be classified based on the pressures that are faced in each grade level into the categories of freshman, sophomores/juniors, and seniors. I am here to help you make your high school experience less stressful.
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.
Hi, Mrs. Anderson! It's Tabbi and I was wondering about the eighth grade graduation video. Every year Mrs. James made a video that included baby pictures and other pictures from there time at Norwood. So, with Mrs. James no longer at Norwood will the graduating class still get a video? If no one is making a video who could I get in contact with to see if I could make the video. I would love to volunteer my time to make a video they will enjoy for many years to come.
The Great Being saith and I quote: “Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom”.
Thank you so much for the offer, but I had foreseen the results and accepted the outcome. The news definitely was still very disheartening, especially after all my time and dedication to Relay this past year.
Good afternoon parents, teachers, and most importantly classmates. It has been one long ride and I’m proud to say that we finally made it. This night is about all those late nights we stayed up studying or finishing a speech the night before even if we had a whole month to do it to all the great times we had hanging out with our friends at lunch and outside of school. Sadly all good things have to come to an end. However, this day shouldn’t just be about reminiscing over what we are leaving behind but looking forward to what life has to give to us, many of you will go on to live prosperous lives and leave Yucaipa but unfortunately that isn't the case for all of us. I would however like to give a shout out to my family for always supporting me when I felt like giving up on school, everything I do is for them, and lastly I would like to give a thanks to my friends and girlfriend for all the crazy stories we have together. I would like to share a few of those stories if you guys don’t mind.
As we grow up and finish school we typically forget a lot of people along the way. We grow away from friends, new people move in, others move away, our interests change, and we are separated into more specific classes, but there is one exception, our elementary school teachers. Our elementary school teachers are some of the most influential people in our lives. They are some of the first people our parents leave us with when they go to work. As we enter elementary school, we may cry as our parents leave us and we often feel abandoned in a new place. That feeling soon changes when we are greeted by the welcoming, cheerful face of our first teacher. This is why I want to become an elementary teacher. I want to make an impact on the lives of children from the very beginning.
June 14th, 2014, was a memorable day filled with joyous smiles, caps and gowns, and the reaching of a major milestone. Occurring over a year ago, my high school graduation took place on that day, and because of my family, it is a very special day in my life.
Who here has attended Vaughn since elementary school? Do you remember how every morning on student would lead the pledge of allegiance to the entire school. Well, I was that kid once - I didn 't want to do it, but my class nominated me so I have no choice. That day, I came late to school that day, and I didn 't even eat breakfast; I just ran through the cafeteria and went into a full-on Sprint toward the stage. There were already the other two kids holding the flag of the United States when I got on the stage and Mr. Palma hands me the mic and says, “ Don 't be nervous.” (As if that is really going to calm me down.) I walk up to the center of the stage and say, “ Put your right hand over your heart,” and everyone proceeds to do so. My
I would like to thank everybody attending this afternoon, and indeed, it's a very special afternoon. Everybody here has made such a great impact to each of these proud graduates sitting here, including myself. Each one of you present today in this afternoon will share this momentous occasion to bear witness to this crucial point in our lives.
Good evening and welcome teachers, parents, family members, guests and my fellow graduates. Dr. Seuss once said “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” Today we are gathered here to celebrate the final chapter of our elementary school book. We are graduating with the knowledge that we have successfully concluded an important step in our lives and that we are about to embark on a new challenge. This change is inevitable, but what is not inevitable is how we choose to go about it. We will soon say farewell to some of our closest friends, teachers, principals, and the overall feeling of walking the halls at Fatima. Personally I’ve always loathed denouement. It’s a frightening feeling not knowing what’s next, but its unavoidable, it’s a part of life.
The vibrant green grass swayed ever so slightly in the gentle breeze. I ripped my tattered blue bonnet from my head and let my wavy, brown hair swirl in the joyful wind. My nearly nine-year-old sister looked at me with the uttermost disgust on her face. I mustered out the largest smirk possible and directed it at her sunburned face. As I turned to gaze at the completely clear blue sky, I heard her small feet pounding the soft wet earth as she presumably went to report my behavior to Ma and Pa. I rolled my eyes and ambled over to our modest wood house to wish my final farewells. That day, May 1, 1841, to be exact, was the beginning of the end.
Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility; or so I thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation. The commencement speaker that day was the distinguished British philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock. Reflecting on her speech has helped me enormously in writing this one, because it turns out that I can’t remember a single word she said. This liberating discovery enables me to proceed without any fear that I might inadvertently influence you to abandon promising careers in business, the law or politics for the giddy delights of becoming a gay wizard.
Many individuals believe that attending college directly after high school is a life changing experience This stance can hold true for many reasons regarding the positive aspects for the completion of a college degree. Students should attend college directly after high school because they are more experienced and have great opportunities and benefits rather than waiting to go later on in life.
