Graduation Speech -- Graduation Speech, Commencement Address

Ah, life eh? Hello Class of 2012. There are so many things to produce to you. I feel so privileged to get to speak to every iodine, and there is so much to say. We move over come to this point in our lives that many have come to before us. I almost feel like I have done it already, having watched people grow up and graduate before. But now today it is our turn to re everyy do it. To walk this aisle, to sit in the seats, and to play with these tassels. It seems like so long ago and it seems like just yesterday, those perils of adolescence. horse-brier Terrace Middle School, just seething with awkwardness and emotions, was where I spent most of my days, chilling disclose, maxing, relaxing all cool, playing some b-ball outside of my school. unity of my most memorable days at Brier was a day my friend Kyle kicked me in the face. We were playing Zebra ball in P.E., probably one of the legendary Mr. Sowards inventions, and I was already out, sitting on the wall waiting for the next round to begin. Kyle was still in the game running around, when he, in an attempt to dip a ball hurling at him, tried to leap over me, unintentionally kicking me squarely in the face. My glasses broke a secondary and I was super embarrassed. Kyle had no idea that he did it and kept playing. Casually at lunch later, I told him what happened, as if he would want to know. It is funny what an impact, literally, our set about in school has made on us and also the impact we have made on them. Academically, we have achieved much at our school. Every one of us here has accumulated twenty-two Green Terrace High School credits and individually our very own Senior Project. A jumbo pat on the back seems deserved by everyone here for four years of hard work. Some here get a big smooch on... ...e that meant something to others, like Kyle and Mr. Tolstoy didnt, but you undoubtedly have. Dont forget the lessons that we have learned from each other. The ones in friendship, in love and all the lessons of just plain how to live well. My petition for all of you is that you leave behind not give up this wonderful habit of giving to people in this way, but that separately, as we all diverge from this place, you will live lives knowing that human worth is not dependent on achievement, but on simple existence. Find purpose in what comes naturally to all of us, to love. Class of 2003, you have given me more than I asked for, more than the titles I have received or accomplishments I have made, you have called me sister. Go out and be great because you are able to love greatly. Thank you so much for the honor of speaking. I adore you, my brothers and sisters, Class of 2003
