Hello class of 2017 I am honored that I have been chosen to give you all this speech. Id Like to welcome the staff, teachers, parents, and last but not least the students aka the class of 2017. Many of us have been on this rode together, many have left and many have joined but it really doesn’t matter who left and joined what matters is this moment in time all of us coming together and receiving this diploma what all these thirteen years of hard work has finally paid off but this is just the beginning.
These past thirteen years have been crazy some of us had it easy some of us had it hard, people came and left out of our life's and out life like we're some kind of hotel. Many of us have been in the same school for quit many years now and some of us haven't even spoken a word to each other now is the time to change that and cliques do not matter anymore in the real world we all lived in our own little fantasy. An anonymous person once said "30 years from now it wont matter what shoes you wore, how your hair looked, or the jeans you bought. What will matter is what you learned and how you used it."this quote is really significant to us because it relates to all of because

I came into high school hoping that there'd be singing and dancing like high school musical with lockers and a love life like Troy and Gabriela's. Here's a quote from John Green "The whole idea of this commencement speech is that I’m supposed to offer you some thoughts on how you might live a good life out there in the so-called Real World, which by the way I assure you is no more or less real than the one in which you have so far found yourselves." Many of us wouldn’t have thought that'd we make it but look at us now. Volcanoes are awesome remember when we all put Mentos in coke and watched it explode.at the time it was nothing more but awesome little bubbles but now we know the chemistry behind
Ah, high school. The only place where people can see a person’s future change in an instant. Just like pages in the book no human has ever read and remembered, what experiences we had in high school can never be replicated. Our minds change in high school and because of these changes we only experience what we interpret as good and bad never truly knowing what could have been if we had only changed one word in a sentence or the facial expressions we made. This is true not in just high school but in adult life itself.
A little over three years ago when I found myself entering high school, the spectrum of unique personalities that I encountered completely blew me away. From the laid-back individuals taking each day as it comes, to the close-knit cliques with their life stories posted on Facebook, and even the dedicated scholars, most had an idealistic vision of life after high school. Surrounded by future CEOs, astronauts, and racecar drivers, the class of 2017 seemed destined to go great places.
Ladies, Gentlemen good morning to you all. I am here today to speak to you on behalf of tennis Australia and in essence the rest of the globe in terms of Tennis. My question to you is, why are women denied the chance to perform and exhibit there elite talents their ultimate mettle in 5 sets of tennis like the men’s game. Why fans are denied the pleasure of seeing this is to be questioned? Why aren’t women able to play 5 sets?
I think I speak for many people when I say high school is a critical point in one’s life. Coming into high school, things seemed to be tightly-knitted between my peers and I; those of us who had just
High school is a time of growth, knowledge, and taking advantage of opportunities given to you. Many students go through their high school experiences basing their decisions on societal expectations and status and peer pressure. I chose to take a different approach to the experience and challenged the belief of society's routine high school experience. The choices I made and the changes I retained helped me to establish and expand my individuality.
No matter your hatred or love for this place, it’s all you’ve got and it’s given you all you need. It has blessed you with a preview of the big, real world and all the struggles life will throw your way. Along with this great privilege, we are taught lessons we will remember forever. Senior, Hannah Dennis, says she will never forget that, “You can do so much good, and people are still going to point out the negatives. Keep trying and never give up on your dreams.” Whether you believe it, or not, all the hardships you are being faced with today are only sculpting you into your own individual.
John Locke on the phone: Good morning, Karl. How are you? I hope all is well.
It’s a timeless cliche that high school is all about growing up and getting a fresh start. But the only reason why this statement remains timeless is because there is some truth to it. When I first walked through the doors on my first day here, it honestly felt like a new beginning. Honestly, it doesn’t feel like I’ve been here that long. In my mind it’s only been a few weeks since school started but nonetheless, this place has impacted me a lot. It is true that you have to grow up a bit once you get to high school. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a goofy and random kid, just ask my friends. However, when I started I was challenged to look at my studies from a new perspective. No longer is anything just one plus four equals five or c-a-t spells
We reside in high school for four short years. To some four years seems a lifetime, but for a highschooler, four years couldn’t feel any shorter. And in my four years I can tell you what remained true; if you’re running late,take your time because you’re late either way and your gpa does not decide your destiny but most importantly, you are in charge of your future. These all turned out to be truths because we don’t know what we’ll be doing tomorrow, for some of us even in the next couple hours. Not having a 4.00 gpa doesn’t mean that you’re gonna spend your adult years scrubbing toilets at Mcdonalds. We spend so much time worrying about our futures and sometimes neglect the things that keep us sane. So I guess what i’m trying to say is that we all need to chill.
Sorry I wasn't available, I did not check my e mail since yesterday. I was so tired after doing a little work on my yard and fixed few things here.

I hope you got Cheshunt safely and would be glad to chat later in the evening, 8pm.. I hope you will be available then, Enjoy your day and be good.
I’ve always had it better. I had an inordinate childhood, I don’t have a fragmented family, all my adjacent relatives are still with us, and I have a roof above my head and food on the table. I’ve always had it virtuous, but I’ve come to learn all of life is challenging either way. That you will labor the rest of your lifespan, undoubtedly doing something futile that doesn’t make you content because you were required to choose your occupation at the age of 18. I was told because of this, high school is supposed to be the enjoyable part of life, but if you are a student resembling me, who is second in her class, a varsity athlete, student ambassador and forms part of almost every other club, your high school experience becomes pure pressure. This level of stress is
During my freshmen and sophomore years of high school I began to become frightened, high school was much tougher than middle school, the competition was troublesome, and certainly building new friendships had no time on my calendar. I didn’t fit in the teen society, and so I grew up to believe that I had excluded myself from that society and decided that my thoughts, intentions, circumstances, even goals were different from theirs.
Freshman year we read Romeo and Juliet. Without delay, my classmates and I quickly began to complain and argue about why they did not just run away and have their “happily ever after.” In time, I learned that “happily ever after” does not exist. Living in the moment with those you love is what matters most, you cannot run away from present problems in hopes that the future is better. When sophomore year came and we read my absolute favorite book, Catcher in the Rye, I was exhausted. My plans for high school were spiraling into something I never could have foreseen, but this book reminded me that the best part of living is feeling everything with passion and always understanding that is it alright to walk away. In my junior year, those books held the themes that I saw most contemporaneous in my life and nothing of deeper intellectual matter truly stuck with me that year. Then senior year came, literature gained new meaning. All the old books that never seemed to be relevant became the most relevant things in my life. Some days, the only thing that kept me coming to school was the fact that I might have a quiz over the books we were reading. Reading about the past and seeing its place in the future, always reminded me that the day that I stop learning will be the day that I am of no
Xxxx Good evening everyone. Hope all is well with each and every one of us. Once again, I am Governor Nikki Haley from the great State of South Carolina. The home of Née Johnson, Grandmother of America's First Lady, and one of the heroes of the United States of America, Senator Lindsey Graham, who stood against Donald Trump. As we are having this dialogue amongst ourselves, the citizens of our beloved state is experiencing some difficulties, due to Mother Nature. Even if the world were experiencing any hardships, Nikki Haley would've not missed this once of a lifetime golden opportunity. Thanks to Gandhi ji and His Excellency Narendra Modi, I waited for this chance from the start of the eternally. As an American-Indian, I am blessed for given
Dear families, friends, faculty, and graduates, it is my honor to welcome you once more. I first want to thank all of you for being here, sharing this moment with us that for four years we had been waiting for.
