Graduation Speech: What I Learned From The Troops In Battleford

If I had Admiral William McRaven giving the commencement speech at my high school, I would have felt honored. Due to his distinguished service record and the fact that he was a member of the Navy SEALs, the advice that he could have given to my class would be extremely valuable. With his experiences, the information passed onto us would be relatable to almost anything. So I would have been ecstatic if Admiral McRaven would have given the speech at my high school graduation.

That is exactly what I did. I am glad I fought because if I didn't fight I wouldn't be here today to tell you my story that has made me who I am today. Even though I had some difficulties learning in school I didn't get discouraged I tried my hardest and wouldn't give up and because I didn't give up I am currently nineteen years old and about to graduate from high school and have been on honor roll for four years in a row and was inducted into The National Honor Society my sophomore.

Everybody in their life has to look in the mirror, and ask this question. “What do I wanna do with my life,” well I decided I want to live a life of adrenaline in the United States Marine Corps. I don’t know why people always stare at funny when I say I’m going into the military after high school. If anything I’d think they’d be appreciative. Considering the fact I’ve already contracted.

Hello class of 2017. I have had a great year and amazing experience here at Science and Math, and I hope that you all have as well. I want to express my appreciation to you all and all the hard work you have put in. There have been many challenges that we have faced, but we have made it through and we are going to keep going. As you all may know, I am a strong advocate for mental health awareness and I am even more adamant about students overall health here at Science and Math. I have noticed that with such a strong course load, we often lose time to do the activities we enjoy and we are stressed beyond belief as a consequence. As senior senator, I would improve your sense of prosperity and security. I would reform disciplinary actions taken

Good morning young gent. I am currently located in Vicksburg as you may know. There is a quite grande battle going on at the moment. I am certainly applied because the union laddies are taking my food and goodies and are not letting them come to my belongings. The soldiers are not currently attacking but they are surrounding us and not letting our imports in. My fellow townspeople are very bothersome by the union's actions, they will probably starve us to death. Many others are talking about a rebellion back but I don't agree with such actions. My eating conditions are very poor, most days eat a dog or rat. If change doesn't happen soon i don't know if i can take it any longer.

It has been some time since I have written you but you see, I can never exactly find the time to. It’s the afternoon right now and I just finished my assigned duties. I’ve finally settled down in one place so I’ve decided to write you.

Good afternoon/morning Tom McKenzie here, with another edition of, ‘my son went to Gallipoli’. Today’s show will be about how the brave soldiers we now call Anzacs are going into this great battle, and how the battle will be remembered for years to come. The latest news from Gallipoli is that we are well on the way to finishing the battle in our favour. Just to make sure no one forgets we were forced into this war by the English who are our mother country. These brave soldiers are fighting a number of battles including the Western Front (borders of France and Belgium) and the great battles. Gallipoli (alongside England). As far as the experts can tell this battle are going to be a great boost in moral concordance on the Australian society and

In one hundred years, I could not begin to comprehend any words to express my gratitude for you, and what soldiers such as yourself have done for not only me, but for Canada and many other nations worldwide. As we read accounts of the conditions during war and compare them to our personal lives, we feel grounded and grateful for all that now have access to, especially freedom. Only when we begin to delve deeper into these stories though, do we remember that these are not fictitious stories written to keep us humble, but actual portrayals of a soldier's daily environment. In fact, I believe that our society has begun idolize these soldiers in a way where we forget who they really were: people. They were people; courageous, selfless people, and you were one of them. I try to comprehend that you would have been cold and miserable just as I would have been, that you would would be craving a comfortable bed and a hearty meal, and that you would have missed your loved ones back home.

Five scores and fifteen years ago the VFW was founded. Thanks to America I have grit. Grit has helped me a lot in life. I have courage thanks to America. I am very grateful to live in America. Thanks to you guys I have a bed to sleep in, a roof over my head, food and water every day, and public education. Without you guys we wouldn’t have all of this. So thank you very much. As Harry S Truman once said America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do hand, that's because of you guys you built this country from the ground up.

I want to thank you guys for the great experienced that I had and also for the people that donated and made possible the possibility of going to the General Patton Museum. When I first saw the museum with the tanks in the front of it, I knew that the trip was going to be interesting. When we entered to the museum I realized the thousand of weapons that the soldiers had during the world war two.

I grew up in a small town, northwest of Saint Louis. This town was called Troy, Missouri. It’s a very homey town, and it’s incredibly set in its ways. Sort of like that saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” I have lived in the same house since I was 7, and I get along very well with my younger brother. Although he’s a typical younger brother, I’d do anything for him. I am incredibly close with both of my parents. We stay enclosed within our immediate family, and don’t really communicate outside of said family. We haven’t had a connection with anyone outside of our immediate family since I was a child, in fact. But we do entertain several of both my parents friends, and my own friends every once in a while. Variety is good for you, after all.

I’d like to personally welcome you to the 1st Medical Recruiting Battalion Annual Training Conference. We, the Patriots, are looking forward to interacting with you and learning everything we can from the experience you bring. As you setting in for the next few days I hope that you enjoy yours stay here at Joint Base McGuire, Dix, Lakehurst. Thank you for your presence and participation.

Have you ever seen a man eating his wife? I sure hope not. A few months ago scientist discovered a new plant in a small town in Alabama called Fort Payne. Deep In the woods they had found a beautiful flower that they had never seen before. They dug it out by the roots and took it back to their lab in Montgomery Alabama to do experiments on it. Scientist wanted to find out what exactly this plant was capable of doing so they started testing out different things. One day after they were done experimenting for the day they were getting ready to go home and out of nowhere the plant started to give off a gas. The scientist did not notice and had inhaled the gas. Shortly after, they started losing their minds, becoming faster, stronger, and

Today we had Red Bluff Fire and an ambulance dispatched to school. This was due to a student related incident. The student was determined to be fine but we would rather take an abundance of caution with our students and make sure that they are doing well. Once the again the student is fine and all is well at the school just siding on the side of precaution.
