Welcome families,friends, teachers and fellow peers,tonight we are here to celebrate the graduating class of 2017. Today I am standing here to present a story and an experience of mine. Well here I go, Don't we all of a path we eventually follow and experience challenges along the way?
Here's a little story I would like to share. Have you ever been hiking? Whenever you go hiking you have to follow a path or you're going to get lost if you go of the trial. Along the way you usually have to climb over rock , go over hills and eventually complete the path before the end of the day. Hopefully. Following a path there are bumps along the way and experiences which lay ahead. Well now i'm going to change the subject and begin my “extravagant speech”.

Most of all they helped soldiers during the civil war , also supported women's suffrage. Truly, Clara Barton’s quote Inspired me “ I may be compelled to face danger,but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can be a nurse and to help them and return them to health”. These people made history and when they were they also had a path and faced challenges,made choices and overcame their bumps in the path.
Coming back to the present tonight we all all here because we went down a twisty path and went over a mountain. Metaphorically speaking. We have successfully completed our high school experience with the help of teachers , fellow students , families and parents. Tonight we accomplished part of our path and after today is next part of a road which will eventually lead to new experiences, new choices and impacts , overcoming challenges but overall will lead to victory. Don't worry about what the future holds in store but embrace all life that it has to offer. Congratulations to the class of 2017, but just remember to work it, love it and continue on your path because great things are on there
Clara Barton (1821-1912) was a woman who tremendously impacted the American Society during her lifetime. Barton was a working nurse born in Massachusetts who later on moved to Washington, DC. She started a relief organization during the Civil War (Ackermann). She followed the Army for three years and for diligently to located men who were M.I.A during the Civil War (Ackermann). Furthermore, Barton founded the American Red Cross in 1881 (Ackermann). Clara Barton was indeed a woman of great influence whose impacted American society beyond her lifetime.
Clara Barton is remembered for risking her life to treat soldiers on the battlefield and founding the American Red Cross. Shortly
I chose Clara Barton because of the work that she did. I knew that women were involved in the Civil War but did not know to what extent. When the war broke out she volunteered at the Washington Infirmary. The text book stated that she was one of the first to volunteer. She won permission to nurse the wounded on the battle fields (“Clara Barton”, 2). She brought supplies on three wagons to the Battle of Antietam (2). She travelled with her wagons throughout the war helping the wounded Union soldiers and the Confederate prisoners. Most of the supplies were purchased through private donations and Barton’s own money (2). In 1880 she founded the American Red Cross after a trip in 1869 to Geneva, Switzerland as a
Clara Barton “I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them.” Clara Barton made a great difference when she discovered the American Red Cross and led it for twenty years. Not many people value this women because at the time women weren’t able to teach or help during the Civil War. Clara was an unstoppable woman because no matter what the consequence was she did what she had to do. Clara Barton is a giving and caring women that led the American Red Cross in 1881.
My name is Jorge and I will be helping you out with your meeting since Ashley is going to be out of the office. I was not able to confirm a time for the meeting so if you do not mind can you please let me know what time it was scheduled for and I will be there. Looking forward to hear from you.
Clara Barton was a nurse, suffragist and humanitarian who is best know for organizing the american red Cross. During the civil war, she saw the need for an efficient organization to distribute food and medical supplies to the troops. Her work of doing this was endless. She worked very hard and her efforts were very appreciated. She organized relief for the wounded and often used her own supplies for the front lines. As the war ended she helped locate missing soldiers. Set up an office to locate missing soldiers and identify prisoners and find names of the men that died in battle.
I think that it is great that you would like to have a career where you can empower people. I just want to tell you to do what you love.
She later got caught and was later put into prison in 1864 by confederate troops and taken into prison. Along with Mary Edward walker, Clara Barton, was an Army nurse. Clara was to serve help in curing injured men. She had a bad experience when she went to go cure a man, a bullet that killed the man she was helping was peireced threw her sleeve. She had been assisting him and tried to save him, but it was too late and he had died. Also these women made a legacy in life, Underground Railroad, being the first US army women surgeon, and the foundation of the American Red Cross. Mary Todd Lincoln, who was married to Abraham Lincoln. Although she was a lot different then the other important women in the civil war, she was just as important. She was the wife of the president during the war. Although she did not exactly fight or become a nurse of the war, she still had to take care of her family and all of Abraham’s stressful days. She had to mend to her children’s needs while Abraham was out making sure the troops in the war were in the right standings. When 1865 came around it was a terrible year for her, her family and her heart were crushed. Her loved one was assassinated, and her family and herself had no idea how to handle it. Being that she was the presidents wife, she was still important to make a legacy. Showed that women are strong enough to handle stress, children, and deaths in their family to be strong for
Clara Barton was a true pioneer and humanitarian. She is a well known woman in American history due to her participation in the Civil War and her founding of the American Red Cross. She became a teacher at a time where most teacher's were men. She was one of the first woman to ever be hired by the Federal government and was an inspiration for all women during her lifetime and forever after
Therefore, the opportunity itself seemed incredibly interesting. It certainly presented a number of challenges. However, we could argue that these obstacles lead to self-development and improvement. Thus, hopefully, my life can present additional opportunities where a challenge could become an advantage.

Thank you, dear Lucia, for your good wishes, and the lovely present of lemonade; it was one of the first things that I was able to manage following my hospital stay and I think it played a major role in my getting better.
Good morning professor Williams, and my fellow students. I am here to introduce to all of you a woman who takes pride in her engagements in different kinds of sports namely soccer, baseball and hunting. Currently, she is into soccer. Through her love for sports, she was able to travel to Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Canada, which is also her second love aside from sports, travelling.

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.
