To Forever Reminisce the Unforgettable
As I mature, I begin to fathom and realize that we are continually waging war against time. Time. All of us, in at least one trice in our life, wanted to sojourn or hasten time. We wanted to live one moment forever. And sometimes, we want to expunge an instance in our lives that we revile and berate. But life is not a DVD which we could pause or fast forward with just a single click of a remote. After all is said and done, we could still say that time has won in this hostility.

Sometimes, that is how I deem in my days in the school. I can say that high school was a bittersweet experience. There are times when high school life turns out to be cantankerous and I wish I could let this moment pass. But there are also times when it becomes to pleasurable and I wanted it to go ad infinitum. But despite all this the best bequests that I shall inherit from Divine Light Academy are the erudition and the memories.

As Wendell Phillips said,”Every man meets his Waterloo at last.” Each of us is destined to bid goodbye to this world and to something eventually. Saying goodbye is a hard thing to do, especially to this school, but I shall never be unable to summon up the times I have disbursed and the reminiscence I have apportioned with my school mates, mentors and with the school. As I bid my last addio, as I say my last abschied, as I utter my last valediction to this institution, I shall be fortified and strengthened by the memories I shared. As uttered by Isadora Duncan, “Farewell, my friends, I go to

    Hello, I am so honored to speak in front of all the parents, staff and my fellow students today. Wow guys we made it! These past 3 years have been full of so many memories that I know we’ll never forget. Think all the way back to 6th grade we were always the littlest ones and I remember feeling like a fish out of water. We were terrified of getting lost or being late for class, but excited to have a locker to decorate and change classes each period. It doesn’t seem like that was over 2 years ago at all. We came back in 7th grade, much more confident than the year before. We looked down to the new 6th graders, asking "Were we really that short just last year?" And by the end of 7th grade I was shocked that I was officially an 8th grader. 8th grade is defiantly my favorite year. I feel like I have everything under control. But next year is full of changes. We'll have free periods, more homework, electives, and an open campus. The new choices also bring new responsibilities that test us in figuring out how we grow from kids to adults. As we say goodbye on the last day we sit together as Balboa students, we reflect on what has happened the past 3 years, but also look forward to what is coming up in the next 4 years. My advice to future 8th graders is to keep up with your school work and try your absolute best and make lots of good, loyal friends that don’t get you in the bad kind of crowd. And most importantly, have fun! This is the last year you will be the oldest in the school for another 4 years, so enjoy it! I’d like to finish this speech off with this quote : A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.-Ayn Rand…

    “I want to see the beauty. In the ugly, in the sink, the suffering, in the daily, in all the days before I die, the moments before I sleep.” (goodreads.com) High school is expressed as the best of times, but also as the worst of times. Regardless of whether we desire to or not, it is a part of our lives we will remember forever. It is when we start to figure out who we are, and decide the life we want to live. While we go through this significant phase of our life, it is essential that we appreciate it to the best of our ability by focusing on living in the moment, taking the time to enjoy ourselves and helping others enjoy themselves too.…

    In researchers timeless attempts to unveil the mystery of time, some have came upon a conclusion that time exists in the order of past and present. The future ceases to exist due to the fact that the future is affected by the present. If we were to ponder deeper into the context of time, what seemed like the future is very well a projection of predictions formed by present time. If future does exist, hence every occurrence of the present time was scripted like a play and events will subject to no alterations. However, from what humanity portrays, it is the humankind who led time to its complex state of contradictions.…

    I’ve grown up with all of you. We’ve laughed and cried together. Though, as I leave, as we all leave, I think about how we’re not going to be all in this together anymore. As the end of our time together grows closer, I want to look towards the future. Yes we’re graduating, but just as Carol Burnett says, ‘We don’t stop going to school when we graduate’. We may be leaving, but we’ll never stop learning. Each new day will be a new adventure. We’ll make new friends and gain new experiences. Yes, I know this all sounds incredibly cliché, but that’s the point isn’t it? School if anything, was a love / hate relationship. We had our ups and downs, and just like school, life is going to be the same. So I encourage you to look back on your own schooling lives; take your mistakes and learn from them.…

    I conferred with loved ones and I accepted my circumstances. It was time to begin anew, and I dedicated the last year to finishing my degree and realizing my purpose. As an English major, I was always passionate about writing, reading, manifesting new interpretations and expressing ideas. I could pinpoint details and construct an entirely new implication. Everything has an underlying meaning that is awaiting to be understood, and life presents us with specific points of reference; and our responsibility is to grasp its…

    Case in point, freshmen in college. For some, high school was a brutal time period, for others it was ecstatic height of their life. For some people as myself, high school played the location of Limbo.

    Three years ago we all walked in here with the same mindset, were in middle school! As sixth graders we were all scared eighth graders would shove us in lockers, just like in the movies. But middle school really isn't like that were friends with different people and younger ones and ones we never pictured being friends with as sixth graders. Most of our friends aren't the ones we grew up with in elementary school, but that made us realize who true friends really are. Throughout our middle school years, there were ups and downs of every situation but our teachers, parents, guidance counselor and friends stood by our sides through it all. Saying goodbye will be hard, we will all miss each other even though we might not think so. Our teacher…

    During school when 7th period rolls around we stare at that clock waiting for the bell to go off. High school is a fun time and part of your life that you won’t want to let go. Not only do you want to leave, but the fear of graduation is holding you back. In the movies the seniors can’t wait to graduate, but in life it’s not like that we don’t want to graduate as it may seem. It just means that we have to grow up and not be so childish and immature. We will have to get real jobs and not stay out till 4 O’clock on a Friday night because you will have to take everything seriously.…

    My experience at my current secondary school started off full of excitement. I participated in many different activities and made a great deal of friends, which made me love high school. But there were many quarrels in school, which made life akin to the weather: unpredictable, uncontrollable, and unfair. The defining moment of my sophomore year was a simple misunderstanding that left a deep scar behind. It was a frosty morning, sending chills down my spine as I walked to school for basketball practice, become an ice cube…
