Graduation Speech: My First Bomb

Improved Essays
It happened. Eric and I set up our first bomb a few miles away from the school and fire station, a skillful diversion from the chaos about to take place today. We will have our revenge on society and be free, able to exist in a timeless, spaceless place of pure happiness. I hated the happiness the jocks had; I never wanted to be one of them. Soon, though, I will have something infinitely better. Pulling into the senior parking lot, I impulsively slam my car door, my hands itching to wrap themselves around the second explosive of the day. I check the backup bomb in my car just beforehand to ensure it’s set to detonate at the right time. It reads: 12:00. Perfect. I stride to Eric’s vehicle located by the south entrance to equip the merciless

    The Thrill in the Kill…….And What it Does After Elham I. 8-1 I’m a deadbeat. There is no way to sugarcoat it (and frankly, I don’t want to). Being as profound and logical as I am, I decided to do something aside from my part-job at a convenience store: rob a bank. I probably would have gotten myself killed, but hey, no more having to reject minors for alcohol, right?…

    I am disappointed. I am not only disappointed in your failure to stitch the loopholes that have emerged in your morals. But I am disappointed that as a community it has come to this. We have disgraced the gift that we had ever so patiently been waiting for. If we can live through such horrific disease as the Plague and make it to a land oceans away with nothing but the clothes on our backs and still make a name for ourselves, then we should not be here.…

    Frankly I don’t know how to start this valedictorian speech, I spent countless of hours going through YouTube videos and google searches on how to make a valedictorian speech. It had to be inspiring, reflective, and relatable. While I can go on and talk about how we’re going to on to the next chapter in our lives and how wonderful this place is, I’m not, because it makes this speech just another valedictorian speech that most of you probably won’t remember or don’t even care about. Many see our lives as a book, a tree, or even a Rubik’s cube, but personally I think life is more like the marvel franchise. While there are various movies that are central around a specific character, each story overlaps which ultimately become the avengers.…

    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.…
