Graduation Speech: A Visit To William Peace University

Congratulations on your acceptance into William Peace University! You will be part of the historic entering Class of 2020.

I’m 34 years old and I’ve never seen the nation as fractured and divided as it is now. Maybe some of you have, and there might be a few of you who have experienced worse. Perhaps one of my closest friends was right when he said that the most fractured periods were in every single moment leading up to this one. It’s just that the division is getting attention on a large scale.

Senior year rapidly is coming to an end, I’ve had the opportunity to see many of my friends come to the exciting moment in their life when they sign that dotted line and I was still waiting on my chance. My entire life I had dreamt of the day to finally committed to a college basketball team, this was my goal and it had to be my purpose in life. January 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM I got an exciting text from Truett-Mcconnell’s head coach, Matt Sanders, stating,” Good afternoon Claudia this is Coach Sanders from Truett-Mcconnell College, and I really feel like we need to begin the recruiting process with you! Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, but I just didn’t want to let time slip away! I look forward to hearing back from you!” Here was my chance!

Over the past two weeks I have acquired 5 new schools. All of which are located in District 15. The DOE’s PreK For All program begins this school year, and thankfully, I was able to have the District 15 PreK director agree to implement the Sanford Harmony Program at her four sites. P.S. 676 has also agreed to implement during the 2015-2016 school year. I am in the process of rescheduling trainings that’s were scheduled during the first two weeks of school, due to the holidays. My first public school training on the new material will he held on 9/14/15. I am looking forward to trying out our new training PowerPoint and material.

Good evening everyone and welcome to the Nova Southeastern University class of 2016 Graduation ceremony.

Thomas Jefferson High School welcomes a new addition to the English department, Jennifer Stephenson. Stephenson, who student taught with former English teacher and current CCT teacher, Matthew Santambrogio, now teaches Honors Introduction to Literature (Intro to Lit) and Composition and AP Language and Composition. “Ms. Stephenson definitely has a passion about the subject,” commented Santambrogio, “she is really involved and she is really cognizant of what she is teaching.”

On behalf of the entire Faculty I would like to welcome you to South Dakota State University; from now on you are Jackrabbits. You are walking in the footsteps of more than 75,000 alumni that have used the foundations gained here at State to develop successful careers as farmers and ranchers, teachers, entrepreneurs, State Governors, US Congress members, Nobel Prize winners, NFL players, professors and even University Presidents.

The announcement calling all of the students to the gym rings through the staticky PA system of Ansel Parker Elementary School. Today is the day that Miguel Adriano would be here. Yes, THE Miguel Adriano. The world famous soccer star and multimillionaire will be here giving a speech. Most kids would be excited. But, let’s just say that the mothers of these kids would rather be meeting Miguel than the kids.

Thank you for reaching out to William Peace University! I’ve received your contact submission regarding your application. I’ve tried calling your cell, but I may have called at a bad time.

Hey Lisa, My name is Eric Jefferson. This is my first semester at UMD and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I'm a transfer student from Prince Georges Community College and I would love to take your class next semester, but unfortunately I didn't have time to audition this week. Is it possible If I can audition for your class next tuesday

The Grace M. Davis Class of 2018 has been through much together. From the first day as a freshman realizing that high school is nothing like High School Musical to witnessing your first riot, #DavisRiots2014. We may have never thought about it but we all went through probably the most important part of our lives together. We may have lost friends, but we gained even better ones in return. Some of us found our best friend(s) in these past four years, or maybe you found your best friend before that and grew closer over these past four years, or maybe you’re like me and found your best friend but didn’t know it at first because you used to hate each other.

I'm so sorry for not notify you sooner. However, I've been out of town. On the other hand, since Liberty University has pulled me from the payment plan, I've made arrangement to pay a sufficient amount for the month of March, no later than the end of the month. Unfortunately, I continue to endure taxing financial problems. Nevertheless, I will keep you posted.

Ever since I could remember my parents told me that college was key to being successful in life, if you didn 't attend a good college your life was most likely not going to be a very happy one. This message stay throughout my life , education was of great importance and college was the key factor of where you ended up in life. High school counselors, teachers, parents, and mentors all emphasized that the better the college you attend the more opportunities you 'll have. Being a high school senior and having to think seriously about the future now, I applied for many schools and landed at Utah Valley University, a great feeder school for Brigham Young University. I attended Utah Valley University for 1 semester and I really enjoyed many aspects of going to a university but decided to go back home to orange county and attend a community college instead, Coastline Community College. I have so far been enrolled at coastline for about a month and can see the likenesses and the differences between the university life and the community college life. I can see no college is alike, and that doesn 't mean one college is better than another. It took transferring to a community college to see that not even a university is better than a community college.

Observing the actions of the morning students of Queens College has a strange feeling of violating someone space. Before beginning this observation assignment, I am wondering if someone will approach me inquiring for identification or just to ask me what am I doing here. Sorry for such negative feeling but the acts of 911 has everyone on alert (for which is surely justifiable). So, to endure the possibility of having to explain my being to another person will have to do. I guess such inconveniences are small compared to what might happen if we don’t inquiry about weird behaviors.

Thank you for looking into this for me.  It could not have been a small task hunting down graduate school and CSPA faculty.  Again, thank you. This has been a burden I've carried for a long time.
