Graduation Day Speech
Principal _____, Honored Guests, Students, Parents and Friends.
Congratulations Class of 2010 - That felt good!
You have achieved the goal you set many years ago, what a fantastic success - well done!
This wonderful highschool has been your home for some time now. I believe many of you will regret leaving here enormously.
Someone very special in my life once told me, "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off of your goals." Upon entering high school four years ago, the majority of us had one goal and only one goal in mind, graduation. Many of us have heard people say that high school is the best time of our lives, so we better enjoy it. With that in mind, we thought that the next four years were going to be a breeze and before we knew it we would be out of here. Well, that is when reality hit us ... Some of you have achieved everything you wanted to and more.
Some of you are just a little short of expectations but I fully believe you are very, very successful. I do hope you are proud of yourself. Certainly I know your teachers are!
There is a great little quote:
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars. I hope you feel you have landed amongst the stars!
Enjoy today. It is always worthwhile taking a breather and having fun! I hope your party is a real blast.
Looking forward to your careers and life after college I truly hope you continue to reach for the stars.
If you want to be the best person you can be you need to use your talents to their full potential. You must find something to challenge you; you will be sharper, happier and stronger as a result.
I hope you find your passion. That will drive you to success. Many of you will have careers arranged already, I hope you love them!
Some of you will not have decided yet.
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
I am sure all of you will reach for your own stars. As you do, you will become a

    Through these distractions and kind words, I was destined to stay focused on what mattered the most, my education and future. Although my high school has some defects, it does not become an excuse for me to be unsuccessful. I took every opportunity available to me and through the guidance of teachers, I was able to perceiver and beat the odds of being another failure from Moreno Valley High School. In the next couple of months, making clarity of the next steps I am about to take into a university will not be easy, but the future will be worth the…

    You are inevitably going to turn yourself into a one trick pony. Although as you try new things, you are allowing yourself to be free. Thus opening yourself up to new experiences that will help develop you as a person. Also, now that you have grown more, you've now developed abilities that will help you be able to make it through any situation. When thinking about all of these factors, you can see how keeping yourself open to new ideas is essential to living in this world. As you allow yourself to try new things, you can get more of a grasp on your life. This is because you are opening yourself up to more paths, instead of just one, as you develop. For instance you'll have more choices on what college you may want to attend. Also your abilities can aid you in obtaining a job you'll enjoy, and you'll now have so many interests that you can connect with a wider range of people and make more friends. These examples are a few, but good, representations of how you'll have more control in your life. Even though you may not be the best, you can still be great at what you do. This is because there are more factors to being talented than utter devotion. You may naturally have the mental or physical…

    Walt Disney once said, “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” Every year around the world, people set resolutions for themselves. However, only 8% of people are successful in completing their resolutions. There is a reason to this. Many people jump into their resolutions without setting benchmarks for themselves. They forget to make goals, long-term or short-term, that will help them complete this resolution.

    “Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” This quote said by author Ralph Waldo Emerson is often said by athletes, businessmen, and optimists alike and give them an extra boost of encouragement. From my personal experiences and thoughts, it is true that if one never tries to improve, one never will. When I want to become a leader, when an acquaintance wants to become better, and when one truly believes in themselves, we can master anything.…

    These past years have been eventful, exciting, and strange. I have formed new friendships, and left some behind as I’ve grown. I have been challenged in certain aspects of academics, and in social situations, but all of these have built me up into the person I am today. Although our class has made our fair share of mistakes and bad decisions, they do not define us, and I know we will continue…

    Before I start with my speech, allow me to ask a very simple question. Have you guys ever complaint about your school, your teachers, or being a student? I bet almost 99.9% of you guys said yes. We actually complain a lot, over the smallest things and lack appreciation. And though this ceremony recognizes our efforts, it also recognizes and pays homage to the dedication of our parents and our teachers. We would not have been able to accomplish this much without their help. So today, in honor of all the students, thank you. You know, I never expected to be standing up here but here I am, giving this speech and probably doing a terrible job at it because if you couldn’t tell, I’m pretty nervous. But thanks to NAMS, it pushed me out of my comfort zone and onto this stage in front of all you wonderful people. Succeeding from middle school is no easy task, looking back it surprises me that I even made it this far. A famous author, Theodore Roosevelt, once said, “A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a collage education he may steal the whole rail road.” Even though we have a while to get a collage education, we’ve made it here, to the end of 8th grade. Just like a rail road the train has to be set on a good track, just like our education. So far for this 8th grade class, our tracks have been fantastic ever since we first started our journey. Our first stop was 6th grade. New building, new people, and it were a whole new environment. New fears emerged and I remember feeling like a fish out of the sea. The year went by and our next stop was 7th grade, which the teachers have been preparing us for. We came back much more confident than the year before. We looked down at the 6th graders and asked ourselves, “Were we that short just last year?” And by the end of 7th grade, we were on our way to 8th grade. The year started off at a sprint and it seems to have left many of us still trying to catch our breath but 8th grade is also the…

    How to Help Your Peers

    I am very eager to make it myself but at the same time bring all my peers up along with me. In order to make it big, you’ll often need assistance from others. I think the first step to help anyone is to support him or her. People need to hear that they have people backing them and standing by their side. I think the biggest deterrent of tackling anything is fearing that no one else thinks you can do it. If no one else thinks you can do it, you’ll often start questioning yourself and doubting your abilities. People need to hear that they can do it, it’s a mental thing. The mind is a very powerful thing.…

    The first day of high school was soon approaching and I could not stop thinking about how I will be feeling when I step foot onto Arvin High School. Summer vacation seemed too short and I definitely wasn’t ready for the start of freshmen year. Shortly after I was telling myself, “I can’t wait to get out of here!” I knew that my decision to be here today would help me in the long run for my career, but I had no motivation.…
