Graduation Speech By Mr. Davis

I am an active member of my school and community. At school I feel that i've gained the respect of my peers being elected as Student Council representative for the past four years. I have also been elected the treasurer of the choir, and secretary of the band. I am part of the Ross Middle School bucket drumming group and have been casted as part of the school theatre’s annual play. After school on Wednesdays I assist Ms. Rullman in helping students with homework and enhancing study methods. I am currently participating in science olympiad and have in the past. I am also an anchor on the popular Good Morning Ross Middle School weekly news show. In addition, I have been a part of National Junior Honor Society which takes part in service projects

I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming all of you into the National Honor Society, a group built off of high standards of achievement, not only in the area of academics but also in character and leadership. I congratulate each of you and your parents.

Yesterday marked the ending of 4 LONG years! Through all the mistakes and hardships I've faced, I can proudly say I finally made it! I am so excited to start college in the Fall to Bethune-Cookman University on a full tuition scholarship. I am extremely proud of all my classmates and so thankful for my family and friends. Thank you God for this opportunity many don't get to enjoy. I can't wait to see all God has in store for me!

Congratulations! You have been officially accepted to Motlow State Community College. We have received all of the required admission materials, and your file is now complete.

Hello everyone! My name's Ally Ward and I'm a senior at South Stanly High School. Currently I'm taking CCP courses with SCC, so that I'll have two years under my belt when I start college. I plan to attend Gardner-Webb University this Fall and major in English with a teaching license. After I receive my major I plan to get my doctorate in English and then get a job as an English professor. I also love to read, shoot archery, ride horses, and spend time with my family.

As a member of Virginia Commonwealth University’s (VCU) Leaders Engaging in Advance Discoveries (LEAD), were are expected to complete eighty hours of service over the course of two academic school years. Each semester VCU LEAD students are required to complete twenty hours of service, ten-community engagement hours and ten leadership hours. I believe that having a requirement of participation hours pushes students to get involved on VCU’s campus and the greater Richmond area, introduces time management, as well as influences them to reflect on their new found experiences.

Because Michael Damian always knows the best people in the world of entertainment to check out, I closely follow who he happens to tweet about. And this summer, the name Dru Ross popped up in his tweets, and I immediately investigated this up and coming musician and his works. I was elated to discover that he is a Washingtonian by birth (an instant connection for us), and his music is definitely unparralleled in the world of music today. I approached him towards the end of a summer for an interview, and he jumped at the chance. Due to my hectic schedule, I am now able to share our wonderful chat with all of you, and I invite you to savor the positive message of life and music Dru shared with me.

Foothill is a high school were we value the traditions of respecting our staff members and we would like to thank our new staff members of Foothill High School for giving us the time to answer our questions. We welcome you with open arms to this fantastic community and hope that your goals for this new school year are accomplished.

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.

In a world where fantasy becomes reality there is nothing left but one girl, one school, and one way out. Now that girl is me, Shelby Mayo, that school is Decatur High School in Decatur Alabama, now I know what you’re thinking... what can one girl do to save herself from thousands of flesh eating zombies… I’ll tell you it’s quite simple actually. Step 1. Be badass and that’s right bring a sword because guns will run out of bullets. Step 2. Bring a map of the school that you have to survive in. Step 3. bring comfortable clothes that you wouldn’t mind getting dirty (obviously), step 4. now stay with me because this one isn’t really a physical thing, but bring a heart of steel because you’ll need it and step 5. bring a grenade in case all else

I know you are probably overwhelmed with work right now and that's why I wanted to remind you that you were going to send me some info on how Delta’s graduation has been shot in the past and what I should be jotting down. There's no rush I just wanted to make sure that in all the bustle of the newspaper this wasn’t forgotten. Thank you, have a beautiful

As we gather here today, I urge you to focus on the insecurity of property rights in the current rebellion, and how the lack of courts and impartial judges in New York city is an offense and it is our obligation to end it. Recent activity in our neighboring colonies, has shown rebellion against the crown. Some have tried revolting against our motherland England, the same motherland that has nourished us for all of these years. Some of my opponents have argued that a son must grow up and move away from his mother, but, while a son does need to grow up and move away, he must respect his mother as she supports him. We need to sustain England’s support to reinforce our resilient future. With that I say, New York City must reopen its courts to protect our property rights, stop rebellion, protect innocent people from mobbing, and to keep New York from reaching a state of Nature.

Rather recently, a new disease has risen to prominence. This malady has inspired murders, acts of recklessness, bigotry, and excessive spending at luxury malls. Deriving its name from its notoriously fatal century-past predecessor, Affluenza – which promotes thoughtlessness, apathy, and feelings of supremacy among upper class youth – is a plague approaching epidemic levels. One of the most severe and widespread cases can be found in my hometown, San Ramon.

One evening, at Bayside High School the Class of 2016 is preparing for the moment they have been waiting for all their life, graduation night. Lights shining all throughout the stadium. Music blasting as the students walk out in their gowns and caps. They’re all waiting anxiously to be seated to receive their diplomas. As multiple students are getting called up the last student to be called up is Adrian Wilson. He goes up and proudly receives his white and blue diploma. Nathan walks back to his seat full of joy and waits there patiently. The students all stand up, and the principle then says in the microphone, “Congratulations Class of 2016!” They all then throw their caps into the air like frisbees, screaming and cheering. Adrian and his

As the clock ran down my excitement for half time grew larger. My team and I rose from our seats in the balcony and made our way down the stairs, walking past our fans wishing us the best of luck. Descending to the bottom, I remember thinking of all the times I had wanted to quit cheer in the past two years, after we began lining up on the outside of the basketball court I knew that all of our hard work had paid off by being able to stand next to some of our best friends in our cheer uniforms which proudly represents Lennox High School.
