Graduation Speech Essay

The weather cleared up and me, along with my entire class and teachers, got to enjoy a beautiful ceremony. Lining up we started to proceed out to the football stadium from the gymnasium, my mind would not stop thinking. I just could not stop remembering what it took for me to get to this day. The stress that I endured studying for the SAT, filling out my applications and most importantly, perfecting my essay. The idea that I was not going to be living in this beautiful town I have spent my life in, brought a flood of emotions. Thoughts of my friends not being by my side next year made me feel as if I was sinking into a deep hole; this place, this town has had so much to offer to me. The past two years that I had spent in this place were the most emotional and exciting times of my life. I knew even though I was not going to be waking up in my familiar place anymore, I would be waking up in what was to become my new familiar place. I knew that even though my friends would not physically be there with me every day, that they would be there when I called them. If it were not for all of the people I have met along the way, I do not think I would have ended up where I am today. It just is a common thought for whenever I get sad about everything ending, I remind myself that there is a new beginning coming and it is going to be amazing. The place that I have spent my whole life

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

WOW! So much has happened since June. The SV FFA and ag department had a rough start to our year losing three of our students who were on the FFA officer team to other schools. Even with this bump in the road, the four officers that remained visited Mt. Shasta City and had a blast bonding and learning more about each other at their officer retreat in August. Once school started we found three new officers and attended COLC (Chapter Officer Leadership Conference) where the entire team learned about their diverse leadership styles and were able to bond together as the official Surprise Valley FFA Chapter Officer Team for the 2017-2018 school year. If you see them around, congratulate President Cindy Hinze, V.P. Maddison Seely, Secretary Maya

In the years to come, I started to find myself through the help of my family, friends and my

I would talk about how much hard work we have already put in, and how that hard work can never stop if we wish to achieve our dreams. (American Dream) After High School, some of my classmates could go right into their dream of the work force. Most of us have put in four long years of work to graduate, I believe that if we can all get through high school we can get through anything. We’ve all went through late nights writing papers, last minute assignments that we forgot to do the night before, and we even made it through the most grueling thing of all Mrs. Rottinghaus’ Chemistry class. The class of 2017 is extremely close, we’ve helped each other through the bad times, and shared the moment in the good ones, creating bonds that will last a

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

We are all leaving the nest and flying in different directions. Some of us will move on to a school just across campus, while others will leave to a school thirty minutes away from here. I know we are all anxious and excited to be leaving the building that some of us have been practically living in since kindergarten. I have created so many memorable moments here that I will never forget. Today, I ask you to look around you. Who do see before you? I see parents that have worked hard to give us the opportunity to learn and are now so proud of our growth. I see teachers who have taught us so much more that just Algebra or English. Then, I see us, the formal leaders of the school. We are known as the eight graders, but I see us as a giant 40 person family. We are united by the common factor of our graduation. So today as we receive our much-coveted diplomas in our navy cap and gowns, I ask you to indulge in these last following days with your fellow

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

I remember being an anxious eighth grader thinking about starting my freshman year of high school. We went from being at the top of the school to being at the bottom of a new one. All of our middle school teachers always told us about how our high school teachers wont “hold our hands” and how we will be on our own. Being in high school is completely different than being in elementary school and middle school. Its almost like each year we have more and more freedom but more responsibility.

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

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.

Our graduation is our coming of age, our right of passage. As we walk across this stage we are writing the closing pages to our Chapter I and heading into the great unknown. It's kinda scary -- but hey, don't you cry, even though high school is over, the times we've shared and the friends we've made will never be lost. The clock is ticking, time is fleeting and nobody lives forever. But true friendship is something we can count on never dying. I hope wherever we go in life it will be happy and even if we all move to remote island countries we can all count on the memories and laugh at all the stupid things we did.

Graduation is an exciting time in a person’s life, especially a high school graduation. When I think of family and friends gathering together to celebrate a joyous occasion, I feel I accomplished my strongest goal. It never occurred to me that graduation would be the end of my youth and the start of adulthood. Graduating from high school was an influential event that gave me an altered outlook on my existence. Life before graduation, preparing for graduation day, and commencement day overwhelmed me for reality.

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
