Graduation Speech: Moving From Teague Middle School

Welcome to Mt. Edgecumbe High School! Coming here, far away from home may be nerve-racking, but you just got accepted to one of the best schools in Alaska. Not everyone who applied got accepted, which is why you shouldn’t take this opportunity for granted. Attending MEHS, Mount Edgecumbe High School, is way different from being at home; for instance, you’re not living with your parents anymore and you have to teach yourself to be independent. This may seem frightening, but by coming here you can get a better education than from where you live, which is why I encourage you to stay all four years. Since you’re a MEHS Brave now, I am going to tell you some things that I personally like and dislike about MEHS. I will also tell you what to expect while you’re

I mentioned something to you last week about continuing to mentor for next semester at Kennedy middle school and you told me that I needed to ask the school for permission. Who would I need to contact in order for me to continue to mentor next semester?

During the last three years of my attendance here at Mt. Edgecumbe High School, I could not think of a teacher who has influenced me more than yourself. You’ve taught me to not only appreciate music, but to appreciate life. I’ve spent a total of four semesters in your Choir class and one semester in your Accounting class. We’ve traveled to two music festivals through Choir class, which are two of my most memorable experiences here in MEHS. I’ve also been apart of the MEHS award-winning Radio Club under your supervision. You’ve certainly witnessed my development as a maturing adult. It would be an honor to have a letter of recommendation from a teacher like yourself. Thank you for making my high school years enjoyable. If you choose to write

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.

So … snaps fingers … wow! This is a lot of people. Well, first off, congratulations everyone; you all made it this far. Hopefully you will be able to make through this speech. According to page ten of the Chisago Lakes High School Student Handbook, all of you have earned at least 28 credits in a variety of disciplines throughout the last four years. And for those English nerds out there, I do have a properly formatted works cited page if you would like to fact-check me. Don’t worry.

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

Be ready because 7th grade is going to be a wild ride! Be ready for tests, projects, and assignments galore! And on those assignments, just read them. I know, I know, everyone just skips to the questions and looks for the answers in the passage but in 7th grade it’s just better to read it. The teachers know, its like they have a 6th sense! As far as the cafeteria, the food is probably going to be the same, so just plug your nose and maybe the food will go down without a fight! When you’re going to gym, RUN! Well, don’t actually run, you might get in trouble and I would be to blame, but, seriously walk as fast as you can. You need to be there before anyone else so that you can change in a shower stall and be done with it. Adding to that, BRING

Thank you for coming to Weston Middle School and sharing your career experiences. I learned so much from your unique talk. In your speech you showed me what hard work is like. This resonated with me because in the culinary school video the kids had to wake up super early to make food for the other kid. I also learned how a chief always has to be prepared for the next the day. Taking this knowledge I been dedicated to training myself to become a professional tennis player. Everyday I try my best to work on my muscles and keep a healthy diet so I would be prepared for the future. As you were speaking I could tell that you love your job. As I saw this I learned that everyone should love their career

Education, teachers, family, friends, and honored guests. It is my pleasure and honor to be speaking on the behalf of the Carl Sandburg Middle School 2018 graduating class. To my fellow graduates, I cannot believe that middle school is already over. It seems just like a very short dream; it seems like yesterday we were stepping into the building for the very first time as 6th graders. I could not have asked for a better group of peers to leave middle school with. From being cooped up in a room all morning during NJSLA-S testing together and going a little crazy, to experiencing the beautiful, unlimited wilderness that we saw on the Fairview trip, I would not have any of the amazing memories I have without you guys. Eleanor Roosevelt said “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” If every student here believes in the beauty of their dreams, and does everything in their power to achieve them while seeing the beauty in them, what this class will do in the future will be absolutely breathtaking.

For once, the words “Class of 2017” does not sound foreign. As graduation is quickly approaching, it is impossible to escape the exciting chatter about plans for the summer and ultimately starting college. I have been lucky enough to get to know classmates that are going to University of North Carolina, University of California Los Angeles, and Dartmouth. It seems that everyone shares a common goal: to get as far away from York as possible.

To begin, I attended Borel Middle School in San Mateo, Ca. The first year was really hard because I was in sixth grade and didn’t really know anyone but my friends that I went to Elementary School with. All throughout my three years at Borel I strongly believe that I would be going to Aragon High School. My final year at Borel was the worst year of school in my life! Most of my teacher were expecting us to do a minimum of at least three hours of homework every night. I would never have time to do anything with my family, even on the weekends I would spend at least an hour of doing homework. Then I would have to study for at least three or more tests a week. I never had any time to enjoy my life. Thats when I started to hate school. I would wake up and never want to go. I would be paranoid that I did not do something or get something wrong and the teachers would yell at me. The only teacher that I loved being with my my spainish teacher, Mrs. Pietri. We had the best relationship ever! Everyday at lunch I would go to her class and help her out with anything and just hang out with her. I would tell her all of my struggles and she would try to help me through them all. So then by the end of the year, teachers started to attack us with work. On the last week of school I had to write a paper on this topic and it was worth half of my grade so I could not mess up on that project. Even during winter break and spring break I had things to do. I hated school. But then as the year

Welcome to Chelan High school! The higher grades won't bite, so feel free to be friends with some of us. There's a spot for everyone here. On behalf of my group, we would love to have more members of our friend circle. Some of us are a little weird, though, so be prepared. Band in high school is like a big family. If you think you could get along with sixty band members, and if you're not already in it, I suggest you join. We go to Disneyland every four years. I won't get to go with you, but it'll be fun anyway.

Good afternoon my fellow classmates thank you for joining me on this journey through life. I thought there would be nothing more appropriate than to share twelve things I’ve learned over the twelve years here at Putnam city. So number 1 was in first grade I learned to always listen to your teacher.

Sixteen years old and I had my whole life ahead of me. I would go to school around six-fourty a.m. and get out of school around two-thirty p.m. I had a job working from three until midnight every day after school. I would come home and do all of the housework that needed to be done such as laundry, dishes, and general tidying up. From the outside it seemed like I had a normal (using that term loosely) life. I had been struggling with my mind as far back as I can remember. Between school and home I was just so tired of it. I was tired of the weight that was being put on my shoulders, I felt like the only responsible one in my household. Most of that was due to my mind always racing and over analyzing everything. Which made it very difficult to sleep when I did have the time to do so.

When I was in sixth grade, my school had no sports, clubs, or electives. All we did was go to class, go to lunch, and go home. This routine was boring to many of the middle schoolers who were looking for ways to exert their energy. Eventually no one was looking forward to school and we all just wanted to go home, creating a lack of focus in class that affected all of our grades. If we had a basketball team or a music class, many of the students would have been excited to come to class and had motivation to do better. One day my school started a basketball team and all the students were excited; the sign up list quickly filled up with kids who thought they were the next Kobe or Lebron. After a couple practices we had our first game. Even though we lost everyone was happy because they were having fun. The school ended the team after one game because they said they could not afford it anymore. Students were sad and really disappointed that they could not have teams like other schools in the area. This problem really affected their motivation and grades. If schools focused more on funding for activities such as those I believe it will reflect on their performances. When students are more engaged they do better in class and are better motivated. Extracurricular activities really keeps students involved in school.
