Graduation Speech
By: Olivia Ganoza
Good afternoon everyone my name is Olivia Ganoza. Thank you all for coming out to celebrate the class of 2017 8th grade graduation. We all are very pleased you could all join us today.
For 9 years I have attended Cabrillo School. From kindergarten in Ms.Peterson and Ms. Harrold’s class to Yosemite in Mr. Potter’s class. Ms. Peterson and Ms. Harrold’s class we raised baby chicks. To 2nd grade with Ms. Stoddard and the Mr. Potato head project . Having P.E every Friday with Mr.Valco, as we sang “I don’t know but I’ve been told Cabrillo is the School for me.” Then heading into B wing to Ms.Arias class doing multiplication. Next we headed into 4th grade with Ms.Padilla and performing Gold Dust or Bust. Then

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. Here are a few memories that I’ll never forget. The time at recess when Owen jumped on top of portable 1 and started dancing. In 5th grade when we went to outdoor ed and we all kissed banana slugs… I kissed 7 . Then on our 8th grade trip to Yosemite and the snowball fight by our tents. Claire Shaffer, Natalie and I got Danny, Richard, and Matt soooo good… then they got us right back… like usual. Also when everyone got Ms.Dwyer, yeah that was funny tell she said she was going to give us a quiz from it when we get back... and Mr.Potter and I had the best snowball fight ever. That was a trip to remember forever.
As we go forward to high school, as Ellen DeGeneres said “The most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and to not give into peer pressure to try to be something that you’re not.” So as we move on to high school, keep those wise words in your

    Sixth grade was a major transition. Eight classes, PE uniforms, more freedom - except recess - but who was I kidding, it was going to be great! I met so many new people, including this girl Rachel Carney. We became instant friends and started Confirmation at church together that fall. That’s when I met Maddie, Rachel’s twin sister. Despite my newfound friendships, I was sucked into petty middle…

    There were tons of snow on the ground. The school didn’t let us go home since we were snow in. My friends were happy since all of us could hangout. Running down the hallways was so much fun. Writing on the whiteboard was great, we were having a contest on who can draw the best. Of course Erika won and everyone lost.…

    I honestly wish I could go back to fourth or fifth grade… I would change so much… everything was so easier! Making friends were so easy! Math was so much easier. Hell.. life was even easier. My teacher was ms.bufferhoff in 4th grade and ms. Dill-white in fifth grade. My fifth grade teacher as the best. For black history month, we researched all kinds of stuff and end up decorating the room. We pushed the desk together and made the room into a cat walk run way. We all dressed up and modeled all day while people came it. Everyone had so much fun. I had my first crush...D'amonte Burrel. He turned into my boy friend very soon. I remember when everyone found out. It was so easy back then though.I shared my snacks. We sat together in lunch. I remembered…

    What I look forward to is a new challenge. High school is a new challenge waiting for me. There will be so many new and exiting things to try once I get there. I also look forward to reunite with all of my old friends and to be able to drive soon!! I’m also looking forward to only have four classes a day too!! Though there are things I look forward to, I am afraid of some things too. I really worry that my friends will change and become completely different people than who they are today. I don’t want us to drift apart because I don’t know what I would do without them. Fortunately, I’m confident that all of them will stay true to whom they are and that I will as well.…

    First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming to our graduation. What this ceremony is, is a celebration of a major accomplishment in our lives, the accomplishment of achieving an education. For many of us it has taken a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get here, so today is our reward for the long hours we devoted to reading, writing, and researching, for the stress of taking difficult tests, and for the difficulties we have had to overcome. Though this ceremony recognizes OUR efforts in this accomplishment, it also recognizes and pays homage to the dedication of our parents. Today is the return on the work they invested in us through patient teaching and parenting. We would not have been able to accomplish this much without their help. Their guidance has allowed us to grow into men and woman of character, capable of doing great things. This ceremony is also both an end, and a beginning. It is the end of childhood, of a period of growing and maturing. But, it is also the beginning of a new chapter in our lives, one that is full of the promise of what we may accomplish. While I have the time I want to address the accomplishments of the past as well as the promise and potential of the future.…
