My graduation speech
Good morning and welcome to the one hundred and twenty fifth graduations and commencement. When I learned that I was chosen to be, I remembered all those who have helped me reach this point.
First off, I would like to say a very special thank you to all my teachers who encouraged me. A special thanks to my family. My mom, dad and brother have helped me tremendously over the years. They were always there for me and always will be there for me. I couldn't have done anything without the help of the God.
I came to Academy in the middle of 4th grade and WOW! My time here has gone by very fast. There are many memories that will be with me for a long time: the 8th grade class trip to Dallas, the leadership retreat to T-Bar M, and who can forget the teachers: Mr. Hansen, Mrs. Bolen, Mr. Pellman, Mr. Moore and Mr. Bradley. Mr. Hansen has drilled into us the maxims, Mrs. Bolen has taught us many life lessons, Mr. Pellman taught us how to enjoy life with his funny stories, Mr. Moore taught us how to write and deliver speeches by giving many (to say the least) essays and Mr. Bradley made us laugh every time in class because of his unique mix of sarcasm and fun. I will always remember these teachers. From the speeches of Mr. Webster in morning chapel to playing basketball with friends while waiting to be picked up after school have been truly enjoyable. I will greatly miss this close knit family.
I believe that this year’s eight grade class is a special one and a perfect freshman class for the high school. Our class has all, brains, fun and athletics. We
To all the parents and teachers that have come to support us, our success is your success, for you have given us the freedom to excel and the belief that we can achieve our best. You have been there for us with support and care. For all these things, we, the class of 2012, thank you. I would like to end on a quote by Winston Churchill directed to the class of 2012,”Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is

    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…

    Hello students, faculty, and families of BFCCPS. As my classmates and I stand here before you tonight, I imagine we are all thinking very different things. Some of us are excited, others sad, and some scared. Maybe not at this moment, but at some point we have all thought about the time we have spent at BFCCPS and how our years at this unique school have changed us. Whether you arrived as a nervous kindergartener or a confident middle schooler, the opportunities we have been given, and the lessons we have learned have shaped each and every one of us into the people we are today, and more importantly, the people we will become in our futures.…

    I feel as 8th grade came everyone got much closer. Like any school we have groups. For example our athletes, our band kids, the creatives, and the skaters, just to name a few. My favorite thing from all the years is not the trips or the projects, but at the end of the day when all these groups come together as one. That's when we have the best times.…

    Good Afternoon, thank you for coming to our 8th grade promotion. 9 years ago I walked onto this campus for the first time hand in hand with my mom. Being only 5 years old, I had no clue regarding what would happen in the years to come. All I knew was in that moment, I was utterly terrified. Looking back on it now though, I had nothing to worry about.…

This upcoming year will be the best and worst time s of your high school experience. There will be times when you can’t wait to get to school to show off your new outfit or to attend homecoming week.

    I really enjoyed my eighth grade year here, and it is all thanks to this campus. I have learned to accept that we are all moving on to high school, which is just another stage in life. High school will be the same, it will just have a different name. I look forward to meeting new people and seeing new faces as we mature. In the future, i am going to look back on this part of my life. I will remember the fantastic help I have received from this campus. When I receive my college diploma in my hand, I will remember how I got there and be so grateful for that. I wish more people could feel the way I feel about this school. I feel very lucky, honored, and again, grateful. If anyone ever asks for suggestions on where to go to school, my first answer will be SCCA. My success will reflect on the school when people ask how I became that. I will be very proud to say that I once got to be around such an outstanding group of people in the first place. Once again, I give thanks to everyone who has helped me get to where I am today. I wonder what I will learn in the future, but for now, I will focus on the…
