Keystone Farewell Speeches

Improved Essays
Opening:

Well here it is, the end of my high school year. As I think about it, my last month here at Keystone, I have so many memories and immense gratitude for the people in my life who helped me along the way. I learned many lessons, not only in the classroom, but in life as well.

1.Great Memory:

I have so many great memories about Keystone, but the ones that stand out to me the most were the musicals these past two years. From jamming out with Alyssa on our rides there, to dancing backstage with Emily and Ashley, and especially annoying JO back at sound. He would act like he hated me, but in all reality we all know he didn’t.

2) People- Thank You’s:

So many people have helped me become who I am today.

Family:

There hasn’t been one I completely dreaded going to your class. You guys not only make the classes enjoyable, but you push us to our best ability, show us our greatness, and prepare us for our life after Keystone. While I’m thanking the teachers, I would like to take the time to thank one over all the rest; Mr. Vaughn. While you laugh at me on a daily basis or mark points off my work just because it’s mine, you’re still the one I share my gum with, make fun of, and even complain to from time to time. You are always there for me no matter how annoying I can get. You are my go to teacher, the one I will remember the most, and more importantly my friend.

3) Lesson Learned:

The greatest lesson I’ve learned so far is that no matter how much you don’t like school, no matter how hard you try not to, you are always going to miss high school. From the students, to the teachers, and even the horrible food, you’ll miss. I already do.

4) Advice:

And with that I would tell any younger students to be involved. No matter if it's clubs, student government, or musicals. You don’t have to be athletic to be a part of something. Participate in the special olympics, keep stats for a sports team, or be a part of yearbook. Being a part of something makes high school so much more enjoyable. I started last year, it's never too

    Most importantly, be a genuine person. High school may be only four years, but being around people that aren't true to themselves or true to you is a difficult struggle. If everyone decides to do that, then the school body will be better off. I know this essay is all over the place. I know that many won't listen to my advice, but I hope some of it will help.…

    Dear Dean Bushnell, Vietnam has designated November 20th is the date to show GRATITUDE to teachers.

    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…

    Though I am not even half way through my high school career, I feel as if I can still be a help to those who are just beginning. High school is probably the most important part of your life that you are responsible for in our teenage years, so it is important not to mess it up. There are a few concepts that I have figured out by myself that I wished someone would have told me. Those of which include never procrastinate, think about your future, learn how to manage your time, and do not settle for less than your best.

    Over the course of the semester I have been very fortunate for all the opportunities that our administration has given me to grow as an educational leader. Throughout this semester I have assisted with scheduling, developed schedules for in school remediation for both students and teachers, led faculty meetings, been placed in charge of the afterschool remediation program, dealt with student issues ranging from bullying to skipping school to tobacco. All of these experiences have helped to prepare me for life after graduate school. I have learned so much this year when it comes to scheduling. One of our issues at Fort Chiswell High School is the lack of teachers, which leads to overcrowding in some classes and small groups in other classes.…
