Commencement speech

The speech that I was listening to was written by a student called William Chiu, who graduated from Hasley Junior High School in 2012. The reason why I found this speech inspirational to me due to how reassuring it is for students (even outside of middle school) that are transitioning from one destination to another. In my case, I will be transitioning from high school to post-secondary education. The first part of the speech that felt influential is when William told his audience not to be…

For example, the speech from Admiral McRaven to the 2014 graduating class from the University of Austin, Texas captures his audience with a strong message.

Admiral McRaven conveys his speech through many devices. The first device he uses is connection. The…

If I were to imagine that I was writing a speech for my 12th grade graduation, I would think of a symbol that could represent my hard work and dedication throughout my whole school career. This symbol that I am using is a lion. This symbol also represents my graduation. This is because on your graduation day you have finally accomplished and defeated school. My symbol will also help you do this with good achievements and a good heart. One part of the symbol shows hard work, this part of it…

My Mushy Gushy Christmas Letter Kaylee & Shalissa, Here is my wedding toast for Kaylee’s wedding. I felt so much relief I didn’t have to actually give it in public. I love both of you. Speeches have never been my thing. I remember four years ago sitting at Shalissa’s wedding, panicking because I had forgotten that you give toasts at weddings. There was so much I wanted to say, but I couldn’t find the words in my panic. I ended up babbling on and no one really knew what I was talking about.…

They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity.” I wouldn't quite agree with Mr. Incredible and say that this promotion ceremony is “psychotic,”psychotic but there is definitely a lack of things to write…

1.Hello everyone and welcome to our live newscast. I'm Johnny Joyride. Some of you probably know me from my award winning college essay on water titled "Pick Your Poison." My professor was so impressed with the essay that when she finished reading it she said "Wow, I have never seen a man your age write at a ninth grade level." 2.It was at that time I realized. Even though I'm older, there are still things I can do as well as a young teenager. But that's enough about me. I could talk about…
