Graduation Speech: Memory In Sachem

Improved Essays
As we all know the objective of this speech is to talk about our memory 's in sachem. This was actually pretty hard for me considering I barley remember what happened yesterday. Although my memory may just be as bad as Mr. Pringles who asks me where I 'm going at least three times within the same five minutes it 's still pretty up there. What I can say is I will remember this. All of the times I have been called poofy, serena williams or even troy polamaloo because apparently my hair morphs my face. All of the times Iv 'e fallen up the main stairs, yes I said up. The time when we had the blackout and I was trapped in a bathroom stall because I couldn 't see or the other blackout when I had a dance party in the school store.

Although by senior year many of us hate school or prison if you want to call it that we seem to forget to recognize the amazing times and lessons we get out of it. Lessons like always remembering your school id because the bathroom lady in the d wing is a pshyco and does not accept drivers licenses apparently. Was being in school the best moment of my life no, but it definatley was the reason for some of the best moments. As for becoming a better person, I think Sachem has helped. It has allowed me to to join clubs such as the Student Ambassadors Workshop and help people within the community all of the time. I think one of my best experiences was meeting this little old man who looked like the guy from Up at Arbors. He told me about his life as a firefighter and how all of his friends died in 911. He then went on to say his two daughters dropped him at Arbors years ago and never came to visit. He looked at me with tear filled eyes and hugged me saying you have no idea how much this means to me. How much you effected my day and how much you touched my heart. Without recognizing, it was actually the old man who touched mine. For me, That was a moment to be remembered and would not have happened without the help of this

    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 had various experiences in the last two years, but the one I feel is the most significant is the time I spent volunteering for the Detroit Mission Trip. This opportunity presented itself in June of 2014 through my church, Metro South Church. I spent one week, Monday through Friday, each day-all day, commuting from my home in Brownstown to the inner city of Detroit. Each day of this mission trip consisted of various volunteer jobs. I was one of approximately 100 people that engaged in the process of making life better for others.…

    Pete Hegseth once said “ Memorial Day isn't just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that's a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It's a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it.” It is important to defend your beliefs because positive statements rather than negative statements about others will be most effective.…

    My most positive high school experience for me has to be when I was inducted into National Honor Society for my senior year. This was something that I has been striving to do since my freshman year after I received my first academic letter. But after our school decided to only allow seniors to be inducted, raised the GPA requirement, and reduced the amount of people that would be allowed to be inducted I wasn’t sure if my goal would still be attainable. But after three years of strenuous classes, constant volunteer service, and keeping my grades up I finally received an acceptance letter and was inducted into NHS where I am able to surround myself with others that have the same academic goals as…

    While in Brazil on a mission trip to volunteer in schools with Saint Vincent College, I worked closely with the children in the favelas and visited their homes to better understand how they lived. Every house contained multiple families and in a one room basement lived the most loving family who changed my life forever. The youngest child in the family was only seven years old and he had more surgeries than years on earth. During his time he had lost his legs and right arm but never his spirit or smile. I had never seen so much strength in a person and the way his mother talked about his medical care and how much it did for them as a family struck me.…

    Before I begin this essay I would like to thank Dr. Glenn Brasher, a history professor here at the Capstone, for increasing my knowledge and allowing me to develop more perceptions about life. This acknowledgment to Dr. Brasher is very crucial; because it will help you understand how my inspiration has allowed me to persevere in life. Even though this year has just begun, 2017 has been one of the most eventful and unyielding years since I was in Kindergarten watching the Twin Towers collapse. In 2001, that event created a hole in our nation’s economy, enforced new policies that weren’t fair to all American citizens, and it even led to distrust in our county. As this year slowly unfolds it is revealing how those same affects are taking a…

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.
