Graduation Speech: No Day But Today Essay

Graduation is a big thing in everyone’s life. It is a big accomplishment that everyone should be proud of. I know when I graduate; I will probably have the proudest moment of my

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Saydel High School. Today is a big day, as we, the class of 2018 gather one last time before taking our next steps into our adult lives. We made it. We graduated high school. Soon, we will all be walking across the stage to receive our diploma, which is an event that has been 13 plus years in the making.

Graduation has many meanings for it; however one way to look at graduation would be the transition from youth to maturity. Graduation in another point of view could be the transition from one chapter of someone’s life to another. Most people would consider their childhood the best time of their lives. Some could also recall a part of their life that was a new chapter for them, or that it changed their life in one way or another. The journey from youth to maturity however, is ruthless, inconsistent, and can be a good time for some; others, not so much. Poems such as “To an Athlete Dying Young,” or “An Ex-Basketball Player” and award winning movies like “Holes” and “High School Musical: Senior Year” all relate to the celebration called graduation

High school has been a transforming experience. None of us are the same as we were when we walked in as freshmen. Most of us have matured. Like many of you, I am thankful for teachers like Coach Adair and Ms. Dibble, who taught us not what to think but how to think. We have learned how to see the world from others’ perspectives after we have climbed into their skins and walked around in them. Thanks to Mr. Pacharne for teaching us how to work out math and physics problems. If it were not for the challenge and beauty of AP Physics, I would not have considered engineering. When I look back on my high school years, I will not remember what the Zimmerman telegram said or where the medulla is located, but I will remember the lifelong friends and mentors I made and the reasoning skills I

High school…what is there to say about it? Many would tell you that it’s like a jungle of sorts, others say it changes you. Many students including myself, go through all four years of high school setting goals and standards for themselves after they graduate. Your teachers and your councilors tell you that it’s a bumpy road but “you’ll get through it”. Well I can personally tell you that high school was none of that.

"Things end, but memories last forever." My weekend was sure to prove that. Even though the seniors of 2016 are in readiness to graduate we will most definitely miss these times consumed together. On top of my roof, we sat chattering about what we are going to do after senior year. We discussed about how May 21, 2016, would arrive way before we wanted it to come upon us; once that day comes, we will realize only then that we might never see everyone out of our class again. As we all were articulating about how college will be contrary, how we will study so much more, and how tough it really might be; we promised to never drift apart from the best friends that we are. Finally, two a.m. crept up on us, and we knew it was time to get some

High school is a defining moment in the existence of all individuals and has been

This day marks the end of our middle school years. When I look around at the graduates before you, I note a variety of personalities. Everyone has different qualities and attributes that define them as distinct individuals. Just like our personalities, our memories and anecdotes of these times will differ, but there are memories that we all share and undoubtedly won’t forget. Recollections that will last for years, even when friendships fade. The shared excitement of our Washington trip was unforgettable. All the intertwining memories are what keeps us together.

High school graduation was a very exciting but sad day. This was the last time we would be all together as class mates. It was sad seeing everyone I’ve known since 4K in their caps and gowns ready to

It’s been almost one year since one of my proudest and at the same time the most dejected moment of my life; graduating from Joel Barlow High School. For the most part, I was ecstatic to be graduating from high school and looking forward to attending college in New York City. I was excited to have my first taste of being independent and the thrill of moving from a town where nothing interesting ever happens to a city where I could spend my time doing whatever I wanted At the same time, I knew that my graduation would be the last time that I would be able to see my closest friends together for a while. I used graduation as a chance to say my final goodbyes to everyone I knew before I moved away for the summer. Even though I told people I was

I can’t speak for all, but I believe the majority of you will miss this calm life with a close community backing you up every step of the way. It’s a rough world out there and some days you’ll miss the serenity of sitting back in a chair and relaxing with no loud city cars interrupting you. Six years ago I never would’ve imagined myself saying that but here I am. There are some things you won’t miss, like sitting behind a tractor in traffic or not being able to have pizza delivered to your house. I get that. But don’t forget where you came from, I certainly won’t. And as I close this speech, I’d like to give a sincere thank you to the teachers and faculty of the schools, for without you guys, this place wouldn’t be what it is. You have certainly impacted my life along with hundreds of others. And to my fellow classmates, thank you for putting up with my speech, I know you guys are just as hot as I am in this gown. I wish all of you the best of luck in whatever the future has in store for you. If anything, we will always be able to brag that we were the first class to graduate with the Hardee’s across the street from the high school. Thank

Our experiences in high school have shaped who we are as we sit here today. Maintain the friendships that were fostered, and take time to remember this moment, and the many others that Mt. Hope has given to you in just four short years. Remember the good times at lunch, the field trips, the jokes in the hallways, and the assemblies where we would shout “2016” with so much spirit and enthusiasm. Remember the myriad of emotions: happiness, sadness, and even anger (specifically when the juniors began to use the senior parking lot). These memories, from the many days we spent together, will be unique to our high school years, so I urge you to cherish them.

Dearly beloved we are gathered here today for a thing called life, well actually it's just a milestone in our lives called Graduation. Class of 2016, we made it to this day we never thought would ever get here, congratulations. We all know I hate talking in front of large crowds but then again I'm nowhere near being too shy for this, so sorry if I mess up but I'll try my best. In a normal ol’ graduation speeches they talk about how our future's going to be “BIG and bright” and to” follow dreams”. Well that is all great advice but I want to be a little different sense y'all have already heard these things before. So here I go, First I would like to thank all our parents for having to deal with us while we went through the “Teenage” and the drama that comes along with high school.

You know, there is a lot more to graduating than leaving Rufus and getting a diploma. It's more than that. I mean, why do you think we get to wear these cool robes?

Many people have experienced the over whelming excitement that you feel as you approach high school graduation day, and for me, that’s a day that I will never forget. The amount of emotions that you feel on graduation day is unbelievable, and I have yet to experience anything else like it. I can remember feeling anxious to celebrate the big day with my friends and family, while at the same time I was panicking thinking about having to walk across the stage in front of that many people. Then, the more I thought about the reality of graduation day, I started to get curious, but nervous, about being able to start a new chapter in my life once graduation day had passed. There are several reasons why I, still
