Graduation Speech: Bartunek

Decent Essays
Memories of other students may be very foggy or have been erased away with time in your state of min. But do you remember someone with the name of Ryan Bartunek? He was quite the troublesome kid in your class! And there was one lesson to be learned from the young fellow; It was to never let a young man step foot near YouTube and put on a show called “Happy Tree Friends” where a blue moose character attempted to free his foot stuck under a thick tree log. Everyone was having a wonderful time laughing at the amount of pain and blood coming out from the young

    David Wallace Foster’s Kenyon College Commencement Speech is extremely successful for a multitude of reasons. It is not so much inspirational or revolutionary or epic, just simply honest. His speech is blunt about what people will face in their life after education. That adult life is boring, repetitive, trivial, tiring. Yet despite being adult life being unsatisfactory, Wallace always says it will only be those things because of your perspective.…

    I have no clue, I was a great student , I turned homework in on time, got good grades, didn’t talk during class,and I never got in trouble until this day. It was a normal fun-Friday, we were about to go to lunch when “McKenzie” and I were arguing about this stuffed animal that she brought. I don’t remember why but i'm pretty sure she wanted us to come up with a name for it and we didn’t agree on a name (arguing isn't really the right word for it).…

    The Values of the Athenians in the Hospital: Florence Nightingale In "My Graduation Speech," Neil Postman, an author and professor at New York University, asserts that the values and ideas originated by two ancient groups over 2,500 years ago still survive and influence us today. In his essay, Postman presented the Athenians and the Visigoths, the former virtuous and creative, and the latter crude and careless, with the suggestion that we all "must be on one side or the other. " We owe the Athenians and their value of "beauty, reason, and moderation" much of the art, literature and language within the world today. They cherished knowledge, valued social restraint, and took interest in public affairs. Florence Nightingale, the founder of…

    Throughout reading “Commencement Speech, Kenyon College”, I found this short story very inspiring to read as I found myself doing more research on this essay because I was so interested in it. Reading this once through I got the feeling of more of a pessimistic and lower toned feeling sine suicide is mentioned and reading the bio notes of David Foster Wallace and how he suffered with depression and committing suicide I realized this was more of a final speech of what he wished he could have still in himself. “It’s the matter of my choosing to do the work of show how altering or getting free of my natural, hardwired default-settling” (309) I believe in this statement with my whole heart, to me I believe that I used to get just go through the motions of life and wasn’t really living but recently one of my friends came to me and told me she wanted to kill herself because she didn’t see the point in life and though I don’t know if I ever could get to that point, I told her that every day we would hang out, every day we would make the most of everyday and every day I would remind her why life was so wonderful to live and how lucky we are for this opportunity.…

    Graduation was a time to celebrate my achievements, to celebrate growing up and maturing into adulthood, to celebrate my friends and family that guided me along the way, and most importantly to celebrate one chapter coming to an end, and another one just beginning. The night before graduation I could hardly sleep as I knew that my high school career would soon be over. I got up that next morning, took a shower, put my makeup on, straightened my hair, and put my favorite black dress on, only this time I had my chords, cap, and gown to go with it.…
