Graduation Speech : Texas Education System

A higher education has been an important priority in my life. While I realized a high school education was important, my parents expected more. They said if I wanted to succeed in life, a college education was something that I could not live without. What they don’t tell you is how exhausting and confusing the process is to get even into.

Public schools in Texas are disproportionately funded due to the state formulas contained in the Foundation School Program. As Governor, we need to change the state's formulas to truly distribute funding between public schools in Texas fixing the inequities. By changing the formula and making it more transparent, the legislature will be able to more effectively address the issues. I want the school’s to receive the same amount of resources so that every student may thrive and grow into the best they can be no matter where they live.

The role of Legislators and courts have played in the Texas Education System has been miserably unsuccessful. Citizens have been concerned about the education of their young for years. The reason is that it has failed to establish any public system of education that is equal to all students, which seems to be redundant and keeps rearing its ugly head in Texas history. Public education has to meet the needs of Texas students. Public education in the Texas will play a major role in shaping of our state in the future. The schools in low income have often assumed the position of unjust, while children in better schools enjoy the luxury of a solid education. This relationship of education to the views of Texas is prevalent throughout the low income.

It has been stated that Texas has been encountering many issues leaving questions about their future in education. A high degree of students are not completing high school therefore, leaving Texas with an unskilled workforce for the upcoming years. Texas is being left with a vast group of individuals that lack the necessary education and skills needed to earn a living, and subsequently requiring assistance from the government later on. Now, it is not to say that all the fault is due to the lack of student cooperation but also the school board, and teachers themselves.

Senior year rapidly is coming to an end, I’ve had the opportunity to see many of my friends come to the exciting moment in their life when they sign that dotted line and I was still waiting on my chance. My entire life I had dreamt of the day to finally committed to a college basketball team, this was my goal and it had to be my purpose in life. January 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM I got an exciting text from Truett-Mcconnell’s head coach, Matt Sanders, stating,” Good afternoon Claudia this is Coach Sanders from Truett-Mcconnell College, and I really feel like we need to begin the recruiting process with you! Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, but I just didn’t want to let time slip away! I look forward to hearing back from you!” Here was my chance!

Houston Community College’s annual graduation ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 14 from 9am-noon at NRG Stadium.

When I finished junior high school I enrolled in a training program to teach elementary students in some of the most remote regions of Mexico. I was excited about the prospect of teaching reading, writing, and mathematics to underprivileged students in areas of my country that needed education more than anything else to bring them into the modern era. I had seen the difference a few good teachers had made in my life. It was one of my earliest ideas to help the youth in my country rise above the limitations of their past and see the possibilities available to them with hard work in school.

Escondido Christian School (ECS) is a wonderful school. I have been going here since preschool, and I have over years I have seen things that are possible to change.. Maybe like more electives or change up the softball fields, little things like that. Or by adding a culinary arts class, or more girly things like cheer, higher sewing class, or even a separate drama class. This year we have gotten news that you are taking the younger children and giving them practice for the next year's play. Honestly, that is one of your brightest ideas you’ve had for this school. Two of my ideas, and what I will be writing about in this letter is upgrading the softball fields, and the equipment.

The Morehead State University Honors Program opens the door to many great opportunities which include, but are not limited to, a semester-long internship with a legislator in Frankfort, a summer research program for aspiring physicians and dentists, and a year-long volunteering experience working with children in an after school program. Although all of these would allow me to develop many new skills, along with relationships across our great commonwealth, I feel as if the summer research program for aspiring physicians and dentists would be the best fit for me. As an aspiring physician, I believe that this experience would allow me to challenge myself with new concepts that will be critical to my success in medical school, as well as allowing me to better my research skills. This program would assist me unbelievably as I transition into my future.

Hello my name is Joshua Simpson! I am 16 years old and I live in the Great Lake State! After graduating from SC4, I plan on transferring over to Wayne State University to earn my Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering. When I am not in school, I play the piano and the organ. And I love to draw!! The reason why I am taking this class is because I want to learn about the body and how it works, and also to learn how I can have a healthy life. I hope to gain knowledge from this class about how I can live a healthy and happy life. If I were to chose 4 words to describe me I would chose, hardworking, determined, diligent, and silly! I picked this words because I am always hardworking and diligent in my studies. I am very determined to finish school

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.

“Say cheese!” the photographer shouted. I have always dreaded those words because in “saying cheese” it would mean to show my twisted teethe. I am Olga Monic Gamboa a senior at United South High School, vice president of National Honor Society, vice president of LULAC, and officer for many other clubs. I am very active in my community and my school, which lead me to be embarrassed to show my teeth. Every time I speak at a meeting or a presentation I am afraid they are just staring at my teeth or falling asleep with the non facial expression I put on. I can’t smile while knowing that a tooth is to forward and a tooth is hidden in the back. In a year I will be going to college and I need to look professional and be confident in my smile. A smile

First of all, I want to take the time to thank you for giving me the amazing opportunity to teach our future generation. I have enjoyed every bit of it! You made so many hidden talents, that I did not even know I had, to come out and shine. So for that, I will always be grateful to you.

Tri-County School Corporation, centered in Wolcott, IN, is exactly what one would expect from a small, rural school. Class sizes are small, students know the names of everyone in their grade level, and it’s not uncommon for teachers to also teach the nieces, nephews, and even children of their former students. And, like most small schools in Indiana, Tri-County is entrenched in the crisis that is the Hoosier education system.
