Speech For A Farewell Speech

What I just recited was a selection from "Oh, The Places You'll Go!", a graduation speech as prepared by Dr. Seuss. I chose to recite this because its optimism toward beginning a new phase of life seemed to fit our class. It reminded me of our entrance into high school, when as freshmen, we blew away the students and staff at Stoks high School with our incredible enthusiasm and spirit. We didn't allow ourselves to be intimidated by the upperclassmen, or by our new surroundings. By the time we had completed our first Homecoming activities, coming in second place only to the seniors, we had established a certain respect, and it became evident that the Class of 2006 was capable of achieving greatness.

It was the last day of school where we got our report cards and it stated what our 6th grade classroom would be. I was a very weak student and I ended up in a place that wasn’t my best. People have made so many comments and put so many labels, but I pushed myself to change. Ever since this moment I have worked hard to make a change. I’ve had put so much pressure on myself and now I have the honor of being the one to stand here, in front of all of you as your Valedictorian.

Dear administrators, teachers, parents, beloved friends, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 8th grade graduation. It’s a pleasure to be standing in front of you today on this beautiful day to express the happiness we all feel.

As I stand before you all at the end of our senior year, giving this speech, let’s reminisce in some of our memorable pasts. Looking back, we’ve made many great memories in the midst of earning an

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.

Ms. Earls, administration, faculty members, family, friends and 2016 graduates, today I welcome you to this special day. A day to reflect on the past and focus on the future.

Some people have asked to read the commencement address I delivered this morning to the 2013 graduates of Butler University. So here it is.

Ladies and gentlemen, faculty, family, and my fellow classmates of the class of 2018, today is nothing short of auspicious and I’m ecstatic to share this milestone with all of you. Before I begin, I would like to thank those teachers who chose this modest speech among the outstanding collection of speeches submitted by my simply amazing peers. Although it is ironic that 99% of this class is older than me and I have been chosen to address the class and impart wisdom and reflection, I find it to be a great honor to deliver the T.C. Abbey Oration, and I promise I do not take it lightly. I have carefully chosen every word and phrase with an understanding of the responsibility bestowed on me.

Good evening, thank you for having me here. I’m honored that I have been chosen to give my commencement speech and I’m glad to be here. First off, I’d like to thank the superintendent, also thanks to the administration, staff, the graduating class, and to all of you attended here today. The next generation, gathered here today, I’d like to tell you something very important that (I hope) you will consider sometime in the future. life is extremely difficult and challenging unless you work for your dreams and what you wish to achieve. Reach for the sky, because nothing is impossible unless you make it. I wish I had done certain things to my best ability, but that is in the past and time stops for no one. The future is what you should look forward

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.

Before I start my speech I’d like to congratulate my fellow classmates on graduating. I would also like to thank everyone who came to be here for me today & who have supported me along the way. Lastly, I would like to thank my teacher Mrs. Navarro for being such a great educator, but more than that, a friend.

Remember during your time of being a jump off you tried to display to people it was me not poor Tiffany, but you are you and no matter how hard you try to hide it, you will display who you are.

Good evening fellow classmates and community. Isn’t it crazy how in a few short minutes we will walk up to the stage and receive our diplomas? We have spent approximately 14 long years in school for this moment and it all went by so quickly. I remember how just yesterday I walked into my kindergarten class that smelled like hand sanitizer and crayons. But here we are… time flew by so quickly and we accomplished many and these accomplishments would have not been possible without the help of many.

Hello, we would like to welcome and thank all of you for being here with us tonight to celebrate our high school graduation . It truly is an honor to be surrounded by so many significant people who have impacted our lives immensely throughout our highschool years. We would like to thank the wonderful people here tonight that we have the privilege to call our parents. Whether you are a mother a father, grandma or grandpa, or an aunt or an uncle; we are here, graduating today because of all of you.
