Move up Day Speech
What’s up guys? I’m gonna try not to be too sappy, but today is a sappy day, so I’ll have to throw a bit in there haha…
For us seniors, school is over, which is crazy to think about. It’s all we’ve known for 13 years. Think about that. 13 years of our lives spent with, give or take, the same people. And it’s finally coming to an end. That’s insane!
But during my years in school, there have been too many epic moments to name. If I named them all, I’d be here forever. But I do remember what it’s like, being a 7th grader, sitting over there and thinking “oh my god, check out these losers up here crying on stage” In fact, I remember those exact words coming out of my mouth. Truth is, when you’re in 7th grade you feel like you have all the time in the world. Well, guess what? It goes by fast…Everything does. I mean, it seems like yesterday I was sitting in Ms. Howard’s room in 1st grade, beside my dude Mike Link, who apparently couldn’t wait until the bathroom break…seniors, you know what I’m talking about. Haha. Or it seems like I’m still in 5th grade, growing my hair out into a mullet, best friends with Cassidy Bayes…yeah, I have no idea what I was thinking. Hahahaha.
But in all seriousness, enjoy the time that you do have here. Be yourself. Do what you do best and do whatever it is you want to do. If you want to be an all-state football player, then get in the weight room and do it. If you want to be a pro in Call of Duty, do it. If you want to be a music producer, do it. Whatever you want to do, do it! Nobody is stopping you. Leave here with no regrets. It takes one day to prove yourself. What are you waiting for?
When you first become a senior, you’re like “ahhhh yeah, one more year left! One more year until I’m out of Fayetteville! I can’t wait to graduate. I can’t wait to not have to see these faces everyday! Towards the beginning of the year, I thought this every single day. Then you start experiencing your “lasts”… Last homecoming, last football
