Graduation Speech

Improved Essays
Update: With graduation next weekend, I can say that my senior year was one to remember. Overall, I became friends with people that I never thought I would have the chance of hanging out with before. “The Crew” is some of the best people I have ever had the privilege of meeting. Each one of them is unique in their own way. I thank God for putting me in several classes my senior year with them. If it was not for Him, I would not have formed these lasting relationships. I started out the year being friends with individuals that I thought would always be there for me, and it ended up that they were not when the going got tough.

I did get an acceptance letter from Wittenberg University; however, that is not where I ended up going in the end. I had earned a 4.0 GPA all throughout high school and am now giving a speech at graduation. Most importantly, I met my goal of making my last year one to remember. Now, I have another set of goals to accomplish after graduation. Some of my goals are earning a Bachelor 's degree from the University of Findlay, choosing a major that best suits me and my abilities to help people, working towards earning my Master’s degree, increasing my faith, and making the most out of these next four plus years of college. I have already signed up for classes at UF and I am so excited to start this new endeavor with new people in a place that I will call home for the next four years. It will be different living with someone else who is not apart of my family; however, I am looking forward to rooming with a girl from Van Buren next year. We have already talked about how excited we are to be rooming with each other on social media. Another thing that I am looking forward to next year, is the Newman Club. I have talked to Mitchell Haan already about being a member and some of the activities that they do. Growing my faith in college is so important to me and I am so thankful to have that opportunity to be put into a club right away that will help me increases

    Since the moment I got here I felt at home. Even before I decided to attend Florida Southern, my admissions counselor was extremely patient and helpful. Now, as a student I work in Admissions as a Southern Ambassador. While giving tours, I have noticed what a small and great community Florida Southern is; current students wave at us on a tour showing how friendly our campus is, professors smile at us showing their excitement in seeing potential new students.

    Star Lu Mrs. Swarm Good Morning Bernardo Yorba Class of 2018! I can’t believe it has already been 2 years since we stepped foot onto the BYMS campus for the first time. It seems like only yesterday that we were seventh graders, trying to find our next class, fighting the locks on our P.E. lockers, and looking so clueless to the returning 8th graders. And now we are those 8th graders, the rulers of the school, who are now here, counting down the minutes before we are released to summer and the next step of life, high school.…

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.

    This Fall Semester of 2016 has served as the first page to my experience at Pacific Lutheran University. Coming into the school year, I felt I had a lot going for me.

I was very involved with music and felt I had purpose in school because I knew what I wanted to study. I felt like when I was exploring my path I lucked out and stumbled upon Psychology and Sociology.…

    I find it funny that 12 years ago I would be inside my room with a bunch of papers, a ruler, and my grandma 's glasses on playing teacher with my friends. In that moment I would have never thought that being a teacher would be really what I would want to be when I grew up. I always found myself interested in teaching, I just never knew what grade or if I was really sure if that is what I wanted to do. I guess what helped me clear that up was the beginning of my senior year.…
