Graduation Speech : My Favorite School

There is not many people in life that will have such an impact that will directly change the course of how one spends their time, how one handles problems, and teaches someone what is truly important in life. My grandfather, or as I called him, “Pap” was one of the only people who always believed in me and whatever I wanted to accomplish with my life. My Pap was very inspirational in my life because he taught me through his good example that obstacles can harm but never stop so long as you keep fighting for what is desired. He taught me about resolution, and to never give up no matter the odds and instilled confidence in me that I can do anything so long as I am willing to work for it. He always stressed to me that materialistic things in life do not matter, as long as the family and friends are there for support and love. He directly influenced the way I spend my time and what I enjoy to do.

My mother is my greatest influence for many reasons. She supports me and showed me that success comes from hard work. She inspires me and taught me to always believe in myself. My mother has always been my hero. She helped me through all rough times in my 13 years of life. I actually believe that if it

The most influential person in my life has been my sister, Emmy. Her bravery to risk her life as a pilot in the United States Air Force and to express her homosexuality in a hateful world has inspired me. My understanding of her changed my mindset of how I view challenges in my life.

Who are the people in your person’s life that influenced them the most? How did they cause that influence? Was it positive or negative?

Which, in my case the one who has influenced me the most into becoming a significant person would be my grandmother. She doesn’t let her sickness get in the way of helping others and telling me to never give up on my education. She would always say “work hard on anything that you believe in so even when times are tough.” My grandma is always there if needed either by helping in a way to get things done or by keeping people company. She’s full with an outstanding spirit, never asks for anything in return after getting the stuff done. It comes to show that her actions speak louder than words could ever do, By hearing all of the good things she does for people makes me want to become a better person. Therefore, I want to be able to assist people with a wide range of situations that they are facing

A. My grandmother is one of my biggest influence, she shows me the importance of confidence, faith,hardwork and love for myself and others. Knowing how hardworking and self-sufficient my grandmother is, inspires me to be the same. She has showed me that I do not need to wait around for others to do something that I can do myself. Her advices and love make me feel like I can conquer the world and achieve any obstacles.

Mentor, older sibling, friend, guide, inspiration, and teacher. They have many names, but we all have at least one person who has influences us. For me that person was my gifted facilitator, Mrs. Tina McIver. Having someone who pushed me to do my best and excel, greatly impacted my decision to peruse career in math. Mrs. McIver was a huge influence in my decision to join FHSU Kansas Academy of Math and Science.

In my high school career the person that had influenced me the most was Mrs. Georgia Stohr. She was my freshman English teacher and yearbook advisor through junior year. During my sophomore year she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She taught me what it truly meant to be strong and loving. Throughout her battle she was always energetic and happy. She tried not to complain or be seen in pain. She put the yearbook staff and her students before her health in some cases and tried to be with us as much as possible. She would give us updates and make sure we knew exactly what was happening to her, even towards the end of her battle. Once her hair fell out she would wear funny hats and once, she came into class wearing a Victorian

Do you have a great influence in your life? I do. He is my father, Josh Kensler. Josh Kensler Grew up in Charlotte, Michigan. He has 2 sisters. When he was growing up, he grew up he moved around a bit. He moved to Florida and a few different cities in Michigan. Josh Kensler is my hero because he works hard, he is super kind and cares about other people.

In everybody's life, they have a person they look up to. For myself, that is Sybil Handy, my Grandmother. While she is deceased she was the person that had the most influence in my life. I say that because she taught me a lot of things I would need in life. She taught me how to be tactful, how to never back down from a challenge, and how to be compassionate.

High school is supposed to be the place where you have fun and a time in your life you’re supposed to enjoy. Movies often trick you into believing that high school is an amazing time in your life and there is nothing but parties and fun. In Bring it on, they portrayed the fun and exciting part of high school cheer-leading, however they intentionally leave out the tough times high school students’ face in school and in their practices. In other popular movies, such as High School Musical the students have no pressures other than the next basketball game. In reality, this doesn 't happen. The constant pressure is affected by the grade level you are in. In high school, students can be classified based on the pressures that are faced in each grade level into the categories of freshman, sophomores/juniors, and seniors. I am here to help you make your high school experience less stressful.

When asked who was the most influential person in my life without any hesitation I knew it was my father. My father has impacted my life greatly and has helped me become the person I am today. He has helped me in many ways; he pushes me to be the best, he is always there for me, and he possesses good qualities that I try to obtain.

In life you have many people who influence you. Some aare good influences and some are bad influences. Although, the one person who influenced my life most would have to be my father. My father sacrificed alot in his lifetime to make his children's lives better. I adore my father he is a strong confident man and loves his family unconditionally. I have become the person I am today because of my father.

School, to me and among many peers of my age, is not a distant term. I have spent one-third of my life time sitting in classrooms, every week since I was seven years old. After spending this much time in school, many things and experiences that happened there have left their mark in my memory. Some are small incidences while some have had a great impact on me. However, regardless the degree of significance, things that happened all contributed to shape the person that I am now.

Who has been a influence to you? Mom, dad, or anyone in your life? Well, there always that someone or person who has or had influenced you or even changed your life during you past years in your life. My influence is my one and only father. My father has influenced me in so many ways that has actually changed my life. The main three ways were for me to keep on task, keep safe and stay out of drugs and, and mostly, to believe in yourself.
