Graduation Speech : An Exciting Environment For Students

When you think about a teacher, you automatically think about someone who teaches kids for a living. Being a teacher doesn’t have to be just teaching children on a daily basis. Teachers are the reasons why a lot of children have grown to love learning and appreciate the effort their teacher has put into their education. Teachers are very important in today’s society and they do a lot for everyone. Teachers aren’t just there to make lesson plans, grade papers, and write on black-boards. Teachers are around because they want to give children a proper education.

Teachers have the power to change the world and to make a difference in the student's life. Teacher is a facilitator of knowledge, motivator, advisor and a positive person that can improve the student's education. I decided to pursue the career of education because I have the desire to help others. I also have the ambition to provide encouragement and support to the people that need it. Becoming a teacher means more than sharing my knowledge to the students. It is a commitment with society to shape the performance and learning of future generations.

(Graduates of Saint Joseph’s University class of 2020, I, Nicole Schall welcome you here today to this wonderful celebration. It is so nice to see all of your smiling faces together one last time. I would like to thank President Reed, the administration, and that crazy professor who almost who almost failed me freshman year for the opportunity to speak here today. The one who almost caused me not to be standing here today. First and foremost, graduates, congratulations on all of your achievements thus far. Parents, professors, friends and family you should be proud of each and every graduate sitting here on St. Mary’s lawn today. Give yourself a round of an applause. (round of applause sound effect) Can you believe it is already graduation? Time really does fly when you’re having fun am I right? I can only speak for myself, but I’m sure many will agree with me that freshman move-in day seems like yesterday. But truth be told you all have grown since freshman move-in day, not just in height, or from the freshman fifteen, you are all smarter, brighter, and ready to take on the world.)

This project was exciting to complete, as we rarely have prepared anything like this before. Beginning by looking at the roster of students, I was able to recognize how I would group the students. I knew, however, that I wanted to avoid groups larger than five students. I also understood, from the ideas of many education classes that the best pedagogical solution would be to include a mixture of performance levels. Because of these implications, my first set of groupings consisted of the grade of the student, followed by a break down of their level.

What is a teacher? A teacher is someone who provides education for students, someone who delivers a message for the future generation and someone who is willing to strive to help students expand their knowledge. However, not all teachers are the same. The fact that each teacher has her own personality, style and interaction with students makes the teachers come in three different types.

I think this question begs to realize why “success” and retention are issues in the first place, and that that realization is different for faculty than it is for the administration. I’ve been present at numerous faculty meetings outlining why these two things are at odds, and how we can unite them. I’ve read multiple studies on why students drop out, and heard anecdotes about what colleges and faculty do to keep community college students in school. “Success” is much more subjective than retention, which is a numbers game. Retention also provides a measurement for something as abstract as success. Ultimately, I often feel at a loss as to how to define success or bridge the college’s goals with the student’s goals, and my lack of experience shows up most conspicuously here. Over my four years at this college, I have learned to deal with this issue in two ways, and both directly deal with the students: one is to approach the issue through providing outside support, and the other is by providing inside support. This means something particular to me and there are numerous strategies I employ for each.

Happy Graduation!!!!!!!!!! So, let me just say I am so proud of you for to making it to this point in life. Believe me I understand high school isn’t easy so congrats to finishing. Look at you. You're committed to college, you have a great set of friends, you got all your classes planned and things are looking bright — that is, until you realize the life that you've known for the past 17 or 18 years or so is about to change forever. Now you are in the real world and this is when shit gets real. college is like a weird bridge between childhood and adulthood. It's that next step to becoming independent adult. First apartment, first job, first paycheck, and even insignificant things like the first meal you cook for yourself, first real-world date, etc. Suddenly, you're not a kid anymore. you'll go from your simple part-time job to a real career in a matter of four or five years (and pay taxes, too). At some point, you'll look at the adults around you and think, "I might be closer to them than to being a teenager”. But Sooner than all that, you'll be living independently without the constant guidance of your parents or guardians. Even in college, you'll have to fend for yourself, do your own laundry and all the while somehow adjust to keeping yourself alive all on your own. Not Only are your responsibilities going to change but you also don't have the advice and opinions of your lifelong friends the same way you have had all your life (texting and calling don't always have the

I welcome all of you today to a special ceremony not meant to celebrate and glorify the victory of one person, or even a group of people, but I welcome you to the commencement of a new chapter in a story of a powerful country, a story that will last for centuries to come, a story that proclaims the prestigiousness of this sovereign state. We are gathered here today, not to squabble about in endless exacerbation, but to unify the country under the common goal of progression towards an enlightened and auspicious future.

A teacher can be a parent, an experience or a teacher or professor. As The Post-Standard, a blog-sharing site, have posted, being a teacher is not only a job, it is a lifestyle. Thus, it requires passion and dedication and that there’s more to it than being a profession. They are the ones who shapes us and our future. That’s why they have existed for many centuries. They constantly motivate and empower us. They continue to make a difference in the lives of many

• What did you learn this semester about student affairs in higher education, how to be a better student affairs professional, and how to be a successful graduate student?

If you had changed so much then and developed new ways of seeing things, think about what can be achieved when you are consciously pondering and eagerly

I remember coming back from school after taking our final exam in geology my best friend who I thought of him as my brother and I. I remember that day as if it was yesterday I still feel like going through the actions over and over every time I go to sleep. It was a really hot day, the sun was so hot and the air was so dry. We meat out side of the school talked about how we performed on our tests and how our answers were. We were joking laughing having fun. Until he said that he had to leave with someone he knew to get some stuff for his brother whose coming back from the United States. It was that day and that moment when I felt something so horrible that made me ask him to go home and let me go with him to get

“In the end, all learners need your energy, your heart, and your mind. They have that in common because they are young humans. How they need you, however, differs. Unless we understand and respond to those differences, we fail many leaners” (Tomlinson, 2001, p. 15). In the beginning of the year, my students and I got through the highly anticipated first few days of school full of expectations, community builders, and fun, when I quickly learned I had a classroom of “math haters.” When I surveyed my class, I found out the majority of my students thought math was boring and hard, and there was a strong dislike of math. While I collected my own data on them as well, via grades and watching how they worked, I realized

While a new year means new beginnings—changing to a new calendar, signing up for a new gym membership, and struggling to remember to write 2016 on our checks—markets are starting 2016 off with the same growth concerns and heightened volatility that made the second half of last year a challenging one for investors. In fact, the calendar year 2015 was highlighted by essentially flat returns across stocks (S&P 500 advanced 1.4%), bonds (Barclays Aggregate Bond Index advanced 0.6%), and cash (which returned 0.2%). Notably, this was the first time in over 60 years that all three major investment categories were simultaneously unchanged—plus or minus 2%—over a full calendar year.

English class seemed to be the most dreadful to take within school. Writing essays for most of my grade in a class is not what I was looking forward too. When I entered college I knew that it would be one of many challenging classes I would have to take. Starting from the lowest English class to moving on up, the writing assignments became longer and more thought out. The time came when I got into this class that I knew more work was going to have to be put into essays and thus brought out what I had not seen before in my work progress.
