    I believe Margaret Drabble’s statement, “Our desire to conform is greater than our respect for objective facts,” to be quite true. Throughout history, people of all ages have wanted to be accepted and belong to a group rather than look at the facts and measure what is true and false. It is very evident in our society today that not only do we want to be accepted and belong, but we also are willing to do whatever it takes, no matter what the consequences turn out to be. I agree with Drabble’s statement and believe that it is true all around the world. If you were to step outside our society and look back at it objectively, I can assure you that you would see evidence of this.…

    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…

    Four students said that they had grown in this year and had fun and matured through this year. One of the students said, “8th grade because we are becoming more mature.” I think in 8th grade lots of students had grown not only in their learning but with their personality and maturity. Six people who favored 8th grade as their favorite year said they had a lot of fun that year and that friendships grew a lot stronger with other students. One student said, “8th grade was best for me because I found my best friends and I have had lots of fun.” Some students have said that their favorite memories have been that year was going on the school trips, teachers, and camping trips. One student said “having the most wonderful friends and teachers”. Another student said, “My favorite memory from 8th grade was going on the Washington DC trip. This is because it was really fun traveling with my peers and friends. I made lots of memories and enjoyed sharing a hotel room with my closest friends.” Another student said, “My favorite memory of the year will be the last week of school because the reality of me being in high school will start to set in.”…

    High school is a new atmosphere to everyone. There’s more people, new teachers. It doesn’t start to hit you that you’re almost done with high school until the first week of senior year. It feels like just yesterday you were coming to open house freshman year. You defiantly feel a little intimidated when you’re a freshman just because everyone is bigger than you and scary and you have a whole new school to get use to and to get to know the building. Sophomore year you’re still adjusting a little to the new school but you pretty much got it. Junior year you know you fit in and you’re pretty much just ready to get out of school and graduate. And now senior year your saying, “Wow that went way too fast to be over already.”…
