Speeches

Good evening everyone. I want to start off by saying congratulations to all of you sitting here tonight. Being a part of the honor society is a huge accomplishment. This is a very exciting time.You are all preparing to graduate and move onto the next chapter of your lives. As I am looking at all of you here tonight, I am thinking back to when I was sitting in these seats, being inducted into the Honor Society. I had no idea what the future held for me. I was nervous for what was to come, but at…

Swish!!!!! There's another bucket from Lebron James, who is the highest paid athlete and who also makes 71 million dollars a year. Professional athletes take time away from their lives. They deserve to have high salaries. They take time away from their families and their everyday lives. Some athletes put their lives on the line. Just for our entertainment, but we as fan repay them by packing the stands, by cheering for them, by supporting them through every win and every lost. There are many…

I would first like to say thank you for such an astonishing privilege to be among outstanding students who are being consider for the National Technical Honor Society. It would be a great honor to be a part of an amazing group of students who work hard, lead, dedicate themselves to not only to their high school and community, but to a magnificent society such as the National Technical Honor Society. Moira Young once said “For in our dreams we find ourselves. Who we were. Who we are. Who we will…

Being an African American citizen in America, I give the upmost respect to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his efforts in the Civil Rights Movement. Because of this heroic, selfless man, I am able to apply for this scholarship or any other I qualify for, attend any school of my choosing, and live in a country where the color of your skin does not dehumanize you anymore. If I had the opportunity, I would not be able to thank Dr. King enough for leading the historic movement in which he payed 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…

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…

I think the song see you again by wiz khalifa represents my 8th grade pretty well because I dropped some of my friendships, took up a few new ones, and my family connection has strengthened. I made many new friends this year, or strengthened my friends I’ve had for years. Some examples of the people I’ve been friends with for a long time are alex colmenares, George kopendaka, and nick wilcowske. I haven’t done much with nick, but we are in a ski/snowboard club together, we both love…

As humans, we have all lied at some point in our lives to get out of a conundrum, or just to get something we want. Lying here and there is safe you could say, but it is also important that you don’t take your lying out of hand. At one point you have to recognize that you are only hurting yourself, and more importantly the way other people see you as a person. It gets to a point when you reach an age where you have to act more mature and leave your childish ways behind, apparently, that is not…

As Saint Jerome students we have grown with the people around us. All the teachers and staff have contributed to our learning experience as well as the students. Saint Jerome is a faith filled community that encourages us to do our best individually. Everyone in this community has helped us to be who we are. For the Kindergarten class, we hope that in first grade you will learn new words and understand friendships while continuing to smile everyday. Dream big Kindergartners! Thank you Mrs.…

Battle of the Speeches According to John Morley, “Three things matter in a speech - who says it, how he says it, and what he says, and of the three, the latter matters the least.” John understancds that how the speaker presents himself and his ideas can change the side of the crowd, more than any word they could have said. When Brutus and Antony give their funeral speeches in Julius Caesar it is a critical moment for each. Both need to sway the crowd to agree with their perspective. While…
