St. Mary's Graduation Speech

Improved Essays
A.A. Milne once said, “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” Though he said it in the form of Winnie the Pooh, his words ring true as we graduate from St. Mary’s and on to high school. I am so grateful that I have had a place for the past eleven years that is so special to me that I’m having trouble leaving it. St. Mary’s has blessed me with friendships that I will always cherish and valuable lessons to remember in high school and beyond. From the first day of preschool to the last day of eighth grade, we have been lucky enough to go to a school that cares so much about each of its students. I am so blessed to have had this place as a second home and will treasure my time here in the years to come.
We have so

    Throughout reading “Commencement Speech, Kenyon College”, I found this short story very inspiring to read as I found myself doing more research on this essay because I was so interested in it. Reading this once through I got the feeling of more of a pessimistic and lower toned feeling sine suicide is mentioned and reading the bio notes of David Foster Wallace and how he suffered with depression and committing suicide I realized this was more of a final speech of what he wished he could have still in himself. “It’s the matter of my choosing to do the work of show how altering or getting free of my natural, hardwired default-settling” (309) I believe in this statement with my whole heart, to me I believe that I used to get just go through the motions of life and wasn’t really living but recently one of my friends came to me and told me she wanted to kill herself because she didn’t see the point in life and though I don’t know if I ever could get to that point, I told her that every day we would hang out, every day we would make the most of everyday and every day I would remind her why life was so wonderful to live and how lucky we are for this opportunity.…

    Just as I had finally found a few friends as the year ended at my school, I learned that I would be new once again; my family was moving to a different school district. After a disastrous first year - lonely and disappointing - at my previous school, I was presented with a chance to start again. I was terrified. The task of fitting into yet another new school was impossible, and yet that small voice in the back of my head seemed to think the opposite. Hopes of new friends, new possibilities, new opportunities, were spread, tantalizing, before me.…

    As I walked through the front doors of Allentown Central Catholic High School, I felt a sudden rush of panic. Everything I had once seen and had once been familiar with in middle school quickly vanished into thin air. I was terrified, not because I thought I was going to get lost, but because I knew that every little quiz I took, every little paper I wrote, and every exam I labored over would now count toward my ultimate goal of getting into a prestigious university. I wasn’t scared of new faces, but rather new beginnings and experiences.…

    As I was typing this speech, I didn’t really know where to start. Five minutes is a bit ridiculous, and I tend to be a man of few words, so hopefully this suffices. First of all, I want to thank you all for nominating me to be president of Pi Kappa Alpha Gamma Epsilon. I understand that it is a huge responsibility and I don’t take it lightly at all. When I first got here, the chapter was struggling.…

    As I slowly walked to Mrs. Eley’s classroom, I was dreading the upcoming mission I was about to undertake. What normally seemed to be a short walk from Mr. Blue’s Accelerated Government class to Mrs. Eley’s room seemed to drag on for miles with the daunting knowledge of having to face one of my biggest fears... public speaking. Thats right, I said public speaking, one of the biggest fears in the hearts of high school students across the globe. Ever since the first time I had to speak in front of a class, the uttering of the words ‘public speech’ ties my stomach in knots. Now here I was, a mere 29 days into my senior year, and, once again, being forced to engage in this heinous act of teacher induced torture.…

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. I would like to thank all of the people that have brought us here: family members, teachers, principals, and people who would go out of their way to encourage us to keep trying hard even in the midst of failure. Without you, we would not be standing on this stage today. I would like to start by defining the word “commencement.”…
