Graduation Speech: I Am Returning To The US

A few weeks ago, I was assigned to give a speech in my communications class about my background. After giving my speech, my professor excitedly approached me and said “wow, that was very inspirational. When I saw you, I thought you were just a privileged, pretty boy whose parents worked in the tech industry.” Believe it or not, this is not the first time I have gotten this reaction.

First I want to thank you for contacting me as humbly requested by my friend, I was very surprised to hear from you but then I am also very grateful that you contacted me. I am 6"1, Irish/English by birth , 55 years of age,  raised in England. I came to the United States a year ago to help a British construction company set up a branch but due to some internal issues between the board of directors in England they had to shut down the company just before it even started so I decided to remain in the United States and started working as an independent Contractor. Currently I am in South Africa busy with a project and after completion of the project I will be back to the U.S in 4 weeks time.  Summerville, SC is home for me when I get back to the states.

When I was young, my mother told me that America has the greatest universities. So, I started to have the dream of going to America. I asked myself: what is that? Where is that? What is that about? After a long time, the only things I knew were that America is on the other side of the world, their people are all kind, and that is the country of freedom. They are good and strong and seen like the country which is portrayed in the Chinese network news broadcast! So, that make me feel that being in America has changing my whole life.

First off, you must know that I completely and utterly adore you. I have never found a celestial being as extraordinary as you. I had the chance to see you in all your glory but sadly did not get to meet you personally, shake your hand and thank you for everything you do. I love your villainous ways (even though you are my HERO), being bad really never looked so good! Please don't take me as some weird fag-hag. I just enjoy you because you wreak havoc everywhere you go. I really wish those feminazis, and the other shameless people of the left had as much pride as you do. You make America Great Again ("Daddy's" just the cherry on top)! I don't have a question, I just ask that you keep being your beautiful amazing self, and offending all the

The reason I’m emailing you is that my current I-551 stamp will be expired on January 19th. Therefore, I was wondering if we can scheduler another appointment to renew it.

I dedicate this to Mr. Kovac and Mrs. Newman, two fabulous school curator and scholars who advised me to realize what’s it truly abide to be an American. Overall enlightened me to never criticize a person by who they are, and who they cast or sexaulity they have, personally are all living beings and produced equal. I admit that individuals can all obtain forward as humans and not animals, you folks accompanied me with remarkably much and your individual remains genuinely compassionate people. Amplify attitude would never forget them no matter what and i’m pleased that I knew them previously I dispensation my school positively. Mr. Kovac you sojourn extremely astonishing and you recognize multifarious satisfying novels that I appreciate, certainly

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the knowledge and experience I have gained by working here. Leaving is not an easy decision to make however I am very grateful for the past twelve years I spent working at this organization. My last day will be two weeks from today, August 25th ,2017

Good evening to everyone and thanks President Rob for giving me the opportunity to have this last presentation about my exchange year in Australia. One year has gone, and I can admit that many things happened but I couldn’t be happier about it. Today is my 340th day here in Australia: I came in a place without knowing anyone, without my family or my friends and I had the chance to live another life that I built with my hands. I wasn’t alone though: I had my host families that always supported me; the Elliot family as the first one, the Shirlaw’s as the second, the Mann’s as the third and the Gormely’s as the fourth and last one. They have been there for me when I needed it, even if in different ways, and because of them I grew a lot: I’m

I know that this is coming in very late, I know you probably won't even read this, I know that the opinion of an ordinary student from Mason City probably doesn't matter to you, and I know that my voice is only one in a sea of thousands of others, all of which are probably more capable, intelligent, and worthy than I am. And yet, I'm still writing this, and I still ask you to please listen to me, because I couldn't live with myself if I didn't at least try. So, I am here, politely asking, or more like begging, you to change your vote to Hillary Clinton tomorrow. I'm aware that this is unprecedented and generally incurs a small fine, but it is possible, and it is the only hope I have. Donald Trump wishes to "make America Great Again," but I believe that we can't let him do that. Donald Trump cannot make America

The United States will continue to strive for greatness in all of our endeavors, as we are now entering a new and astonishing frontier. As we have in the past, we will continue to do now in the future; we will stand as a unified nation! We will enter this race, a race that will bring us into a new age of technology and exploration.

I really enjoyed your speech today at Gettysburg, PA. What I think is overshadowing your plan is that reporters are only focusing on your comment:

Today I found two pennies on the ground. If you look at them, one of them is very old and the other one is basically new. If you look closer one of them has the Lincoln memorial on it and the other has a shield. But if you look even closer they both have 6 things in common. But the things they both have are the most important. They both have “Abe Lincoln”, “One Cent”, “United States of America”, “Liberty”, “In God We Trust”, and “E Pluribus Unum.” But what I am trying to say is it doesn’t matter what year it is America is America, it doesn’t matter who is president America is America. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years will go by and everything will be

Hello people from America or around the world. This is going to be about what America I Believe In. It’s going to have all the details about America today and the things we are able to do in this country.

We would like to thank the wonderful people here tonight that we have the privilege to call our parents. Whether you are a mother a father, grandma or grandpa, or an aunt or an uncle; we are here, graduating today because of all of you.

Thanks for contacting me. I have been listening to Alex’s podcasts for years, but I really only joined this forum a month ago. I had a peek every so often, but generally found there was too much ‘mind stuff’ happening in the show discussions. I am coming from experience not from theory, and until the thread on family constellation with Dan Cohen, I just could not put in the effort to get into the conversation.
