Farewell Speech

FAREWELL SPEECH By: Shiela P. Garcia Time runs very fast. It seems like we’re just entering this classroom yesterday and now…the time for leaving is coming near. It’s hard to accept that after 3 weeks more staying in this room, we will be going to another stage of our life. As we were about to leave, allow me my dear friends to I bid my goodbye. For almost 10 months staying in this 4 portals of this classroom named Our Lady Of Hope, with 28 classmates, 10 subject teachers and 1 sexy adviser, I had made another countless memories that I’ll treasure forever.

Participating actively in class, smiling, laughing but the truest feeling shouts, “ I want to die” and no one knows why.

You may not understand me now but I say to you, inspite of these, this room makes me feel, I’m not alone. I take this farewell speech as an opportunity to thank those people, who in way or another have mixed up with my life, who made impact in my studies and made me see how beauty life can be. I take pride of my friends who have stayed beside me through the days of happiness and sadness. To the unending support of my teachers and their advises that
