Lady Of Grace Speeches

Moving schools is not always the best for kids in school because they lose some of their best friends and rarely see them anymore.

    Upon my arrival at Commonwealth Honors Academy a mere twelve days ago I was ignorant to the fact that I was going to learn so much in my time spent here, but now I look back and realize that I have gained so much knowledge and I have acquired more details to add to what I knew before arrival.
