Graduation Speech To Lif Life

Lastly, I would now like to take this time to thank my family for their endless support and love. Mom, thank you for your encouraging words, your advice, and for always believing in me even at times when I gave up on myself. Just as you have stood by me and helped me accomplish so many goals, I hope to be able to fulfill many of your dreams. To my little sister, thank you for keeping the child inside of me alive, for always finding a way to put a smile on my face, and for your honesty. Last but not least, I am proud to share this moment with my father, thank you for your support, guidance, and for the lifelong values and morals you have instilled in me, a person whose wisdom and spirituality I deeply admire. I am extremely grateful and thankful to be the first child in my family that my parents will witness graduate from secondary school. To my family, I may not say it enough, but I love you all more than words can express and without your presence in my life, I don’t know where or who I would be. Maya Angelou said, “But nobody, no nobody can make it out here alone” and I think my fellow graduates will agree with me when I say that this moment would not have been possible for each

I am so very proud of you and blessed to be apart of your high school career. To driving you to school, cheering you on in sports and watching you volunteer at lion's club events makes me truly happy at what a young respectful thoughtful man you are. I can't wait to watch you go far in life. You put your all in everything you do. From hearing many wonderful things about you, there are many people who love and cherish you and will be there to watch you succeed in life.

Congratulations! You have been officially accepted to Motlow State Community College. We have received all of the required admission materials, and your file is now complete.

How are you doing? This is Will, the tall black guy you would sometimes see in service. I'm writing to say goodbye. My project in Carson City came to an end and I've moved back to Texas. Thank you so much for making me feel at home at Hope. Your messages kept me going while I was in Reno. God used your words to truly bless me and also show me where I need to improve. Sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye in person, but everything happened so fast.

I'm so sorry for not notify you sooner. However, I've been out of town. On the other hand, since Liberty University has pulled me from the payment plan, I've made arrangement to pay a sufficient amount for the month of March, no later than the end of the month. Unfortunately, I continue to endure taxing financial problems. Nevertheless, I will keep you posted.

Hello Jodie,My name is Kyle McKenna I am currently grade 10 and attending Latrobe High School.

FYI-JoAnn and I had a conversation this morning, as I am extremely concerned about the number of DAY (TUG) students that are wanting to enter the SPS program only to find out that their intentions are to proceed back to the DAY (TUG) program as they get closer to finishing their program. Case in point, I have a Caroline Womble who has applied to SPS and is cleared to do so, but from information told to me, she walked last spring but needs 5 more classes. So would she be considered a SPS grad or DAY (TUG) graduate when she finishes? There is also Haley (Hedgepeth) Canovai who while at the moment has an account balance, plans to enter the SPS program for BA Liberal Studies, but wants to transition back to DAY to finish as a Communication

I agonized over writing this speech for a long time, because I felt like nothing I could say would make a difference, first because I don't know if what I could say would be good advice, and second because I don't know if advice about things like being true to yourself and setting goals and all that is actually helpful. How can I give advice that I can't even follow in my own life? And even if you are mesmerized for my two minutes, you would walk out of here and your life wouldn't be any different. Or maybe you'd be inspired for a day, and then forget. But still, the speech had to be written.

Colin Powell once said, "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." The secret to success is preparation; however, preparation for college does not come easy, and there is only so far you can go by preparing yourself. I tried that, and if you look at my first college semester grades you can see that did not work. High school really is only there to prepare you for college; however, not everyone goes to college, and there is only so far you can go with a high school diploma. You really have to go to college to succeed, but when you come to college everyone is on different levels academically. Some come to college not even knowing what they want to major in. That is absolutely inexcusable of the high school system, which should better prepare students for college and their future careers.

Christopher Columbus, reflecting on his voyage which led him to the discovery of America, said, "Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World." I am sure that after four years of high school, we have all formed our own opinion of Christopher Columbus - especially if you had Mrs. Powers - but whether you view him as a genocidal rogue or the first American Hero, I find his quote fitting for where we stand today.

Greetings fellow graduates, teachers and staff, local law enforcement, Kirkland, Family Members, and those who were forced to come. As you probably know I am Adolfo Reynaga and it’s a distinct honor that I’ve been chosen to represent my class as senior speaker. Tonight, we celebrate a huge milestone within our lives that we will always share, walking down this stage, giving a sweaty handshake, and receiving a piece of paper. To many this was a very difficult four years, four years, people worked so hard just for this night, four years that we will one day remember as “the easy days”. The carefree days where all we had to worry about was homework, getting home before curfew, and keeping up with the Kardashians. Now before we go off to the next chapter in our lives, it will all be a different experience for all of us, some of us will be attending a university, trade school, joining the military, or entering the workforce, or become lucky and be the next Jake Paul, but no matter what path we choose or where life directs us to, we will always have one thing that will connect us all, Our Yucaipa high. As I go on with my speech, I would like to share my experiences and life stories that helped shape me to who I am now, a Yucaipa High School graduate.

We live in a time in which everything is categorized by lists, whether it’s a dreaded school rubric or a David Letterman Top Ten List. As the millennium turns, we are deluged with lists: the best books of the millennium, the greatest songs of the millennium, the most influential people of the millennium. Personally, I may be sick of all these lists, but no graduating class of 2006 could let this occasion slip by without one more list: The Top Ten Things I Learned in High School. So listen along and see if your experience parallels mine. Here goes:

We all have had many stones read to us, and even read many ourselves. In elementary school they were stories of Lad, Jane and Spot. Each of us beamed with pride as we stumbled over that first line of "See Lad go," or "Run Jane run." Then, in junior high we learned about plot and theme, and the characters of the stories actually developed personalities. Now, as graduating seniors, many of us have learned that stories can teach us valuable lessons about life. Even the simple stories from elementary school contain lessons that we can relate to our own experiences. One story in particular that just happens to be from my favorite producer, Disney, and emphasizes the importance of friendship is "The Fox and The Hound." As this story

I am forty-seven and had fulfilled many of the dreams that I had as a child. I was in the military, fireman, and a police officer. I had gone to college after graduating high school following in the footsteps of my father. My father said that if I could not find a job after receiving my bachelor’s degree that he would continue to pay for my education until I received my masters. Although after two semesters I dropped out because I felt that I could make more money than continuing in school. At some point, I did over time make more money than someone who had a bachelor’s degree that worked under my father at General Electric. I married my first wife and had three children. We had our ups and downs over the entire time of our marriage and after ten years we divorced. I received full custody of the children and started to plan my future for me and them. Then out of nowhere the phone rings and it was Annabell on the other end. We hadn’t spoken to each other in two years. We started dating and not long after were engaged to be married.

While a new year means new beginnings—changing to a new calendar, signing up for a new gym membership, and struggling to remember to write 2016 on our checks—markets are starting 2016 off with the same growth concerns and heightened volatility that made the second half of last year a challenging one for investors. In fact, the calendar year 2015 was highlighted by essentially flat returns across stocks (S&P 500 advanced 1.4%), bonds (Barclays Aggregate Bond Index advanced 0.6%), and cash (which returned 0.2%). Notably, this was the first time in over 60 years that all three major investment categories were simultaneously unchanged—plus or minus 2%—over a full calendar year.
