Graduation Speech: I Am Brittany Risner

Decent Essays
I am Brittany Risner and I am not sure if you remember who I am, but you represented my mother, Jamie Gilliam, in her divorce and keeping use safe. First of all, I want to say Thank you for everything you did for my brothers and me. It is because of you that we are free of the fear of having to go on visits. I wanted to also let you know how my life live is going. I am 16 years old and a junior in high school. I still love playing volleyball and this year I was the starting setter on the varsity team where we made it to playoffs. My goal is to get a scholarship to play college volleyball, and I already have several schools talking to me. I want to work with children so I am planning to major in Education. I also play club volleyball

Throughout my entire life, I’ve had the stigma that I had no other choice but to participate in sports due to my height.…

    American high schools must prepare students to succeed in a competitive world. But the intensely competitive process of selecting a class valedictorian hurts students more than it helps them. Most high schools have only one valedictorian, which often leads to bitter competition among high-achieving students. In some places, students begin plotting in middle school how to outdo their classmates. The result can be broken friendships, diminished collaboration, and a tense atmosphere.…

Today, we get to celebrate the culmination of our thirteen years of hard work in school with graduation, and I have been asked to deliver this year’s commencement speech.

    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.…
