Good Morning Mrs. Bagheri, Miss Hebestreit, teachers, staff, and fellow graduates of the Class of 2016. We are gathered here today to commemorate our time here at Saint Catherine Labouré School. We, as students, have been graciously granted with amazing teachers who have been there every step of the way during our elementary and middle school years. Now the time has come, everything we have been taught and shown at Saint Catherine's will finally pay off and carry us through our high school careers. Now it is the time for us to shine, the time when your dreams are in reach and possibilities, vast. Now it is the time for us to become the people we always dreamed of being. Think of of a yellow path way surrounded by trees on both sides with a group of people journeying down it. The path then comes to a stop and separates in to 4 different paths, a blue path, red path, green path, and a purple path. The people each go down different paths and continue on their journeys but they all started on that yellow path. Many of us are probably feeling nervous about the next step in our lives thinking about having to go to a new school everyday, see new teachers, and meet new …show more content…
Along our journey we have also made many memories and friends. This year we learned about having to deal with the loss of one the students in Junior High. One of our fellow students, Andrea, passed away from a terrible aneurysm. She was an amazing 7th grader that will always be remembered and never forgotten. Although this event was a terrible tragedy, we have learned a great life lesson from it. We learned that anything can happen at any moment in your life and to never take life for granted and to treasure it as everyday passes. Lessons like this one have been shown to us throughout our time here at Saint Catherine's and lessons like these are what have gotten us to where we are
I will be the first to say it; Monsieur Cyrano de Bergerac was a proud man, and I mean that in every sense of the word. Now, in some ways, this particular characteristic of his may have been the reason we’re all here today, honoring this fellow man we have all come to know and love. However, I’d like to take the sense of the word in a different light. He was proud, but he had right to be. This man would do anything for those he loved, even if it meant jumping to his imminent death. His skills were far superior to any and every soldier in the royal army, as well as the fact that he won in a battle of hundred men by himself! His ability to think quickly in the face of danger is how he survived every duel he fought, and this is only a single example
Welcome friends, family, and the graduating class of 2016. I am honored to stand here before you to give this final address, even if mine is not the “final” address since Letitia and Hailey will also present their speeches, but I digress. I am so thankful for everyone who helped me, helped us get this far - whether you’re a teacher, parent, or one of the 28 friends I see before me who I have come to know and love these last few years. I would also like to thank those who are in attendance today. You show how much you care for us by your presence, and I’m sure every student here is just as glad as I am to have you with us on this remarkable day.
In front of me, I see a fragment of my generation who have moved through the rungs of each year, from the first day of school, to finally the last. I appreciate everyone that has attended today, thus I’ll grace you with a brief -ish speech. Before I begin rambling, I want to thank the principal and his supporting staff for this school, the teachers and their dedication, the parents for their fruitful and exhausting efforts and most of all my peers that used this opportunity in education and stuck through to the closing moments. Thank you.
Today, as we graduate, with degree nearly in hand, I challenge each of you to make a difference in whatever you do. Remember that life didn't end when we re-entered school. Life continued throughout our program. Even when stretched to the limit, life only got more challenging. And now, graduating, life only changes pace. Our degree completion is not really an ending as much as a new beginning as we re-enter our lives of work and home. We thank all of our family, friends, instructors and co-workers who helped see us through this process. Thank you for this opportunity and good luck to you all.
Excellence is not a small and private gift to be kept guarded and out of sight. It is a gift that should spark and catch in the hearts and grow from mind to mind with each day, each year, each generation. Our excellence amplifies as we recognize other excellences. Tonight, We’re gathered here to celebrate the elite academic excellence of all of these hardworking students. I’ve had the honor of attending Honor’s Banquet all four years of high school, surrounded by some of the most academically inclined people I know.
Thank you for sharing your stories with me. I really enjoyed watching as you grow and change, becoming braver and more defiant and finding your voice. You were living in Erik’s shadow, as he blocked the light and the truth from you, for over ten years. Then you uncovered the truth and stood up to him, and now you are starting your bright, hope-filled, promising future, accompanied by the scent of a golden dawn.
Today completes the chapter of our lives that we have been comfortable with for the past 13 years. High school may be over, but we still have a long exciting way to go in life. From our four-year experience we will take with us the memories, good and bad, and relationships we have made with each other and the County High School staff. From these experiences we have learned and grown and will continue to do so. Growing up and moving on will be a huge part of our lives in the next few months. The decisions we will make come in-part from the choices we have already made.
For the past 13 years of our education we have been on a journey - a journey full of experiences, challenges and accomplishments. We have made it through elementary, middle and high school. It hasn't always been what we expected and certainly not easy, but as we progressed down the road, we stretched ourselves to reach across barriers and found ourselves in new and expanding roles. We were given the opportunity to explore our interests and discover what really excites us. We have become more independent and complete individuals. Our growth and self-discovery has placed us here tonight.
Congratulations Jhamela on graduating! I am so proud of you and can’t wait to see where you will go in the future. I know you will do great things because you are a special individual that I cherish in my heart. You are such an inspirational, intellectual, beautiful, and and amazing friend. I am glad that I got to meet you through Reno Circle K International and become friends with you over the past few years.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen of the United Kingdom. That you are watching this means I am deceased. I’m unsure of when the public will view this but I felt that conveying my side of the story was imperative. I have come to learn rather recently, and this is a hard thing for me to admit, but my mind is deteriorating and I want to have the final word and explain why I made the decisions I did… before I can’t anymore.
Let me begin by saying that I am very honored to be addressing the County High School Class of 2012 as students of this institution for the last time. We've spent these last four years creating some serious memories: four years of chieftain power, leaking roofs, questionable Homecoming skits, and musical principals. Four years of good teachers, bad teachers, new teachers, old teachers. Four years of youth, music, growing up and breaking free. Four rubber chickens, four yearbooks, four ASB presidents and four chubby bunnies.
Good Morning everyone! Welcome friends, family, teachers, God our Father, and most importantly the St. Timothy graduates of 2017. I would like to start by saying thank you for the opportunity to stand here and address you all this morning. We sit here today on the precipice of the future. It is not a distant reality anymore.
Good afternoon class of 2017! First off i would like to congratulate everyone graduating today and thank those who came to support. At first i was very on the fence about coming to this school both because i felt like giving up on myself and because of some assumptions (such as . . . ) i made about this school. We’ve all had our own problems that led us to transferring to La Vista / La Sierra - everyone has problems.
*yawns* Good Morning Franklin! *gets out of bed and gets ready* Day 112 in this tower… I wish that one day I’ll be set free. I’ve told mother upteen times that being locked in a tower is not the way to get me married. I just am not interested in a relationship right now.
Valedictorian Speech Good evening fellow graduates, teachers, family members, friends, and distinguished guests. It is a tremendous honor to be the valedictorian of our graduating class. My job is to somehow be the voice of the entire graduating class, and take five minutes to say a few words on behalf of all 539 of us. Like most valedictorians, writing this speech was not an easy task for me. Not because I did not have anything to say, but because I was overwhelmed by how much I wanted to share with you all on this day. Tonight, we have one common purpose, to celebrate. We are here to congratulate, to look towards what the future holds for us, to wish each other well, and to, most importantly look back on our time spent here. So, I would like to start by saying 'well done' to my fellow graduates, who have all worked hard during the past several years to reach this milestone. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the graduating class for selecting me to speak here tonight. Ever since the news broke, many people, some who've I've never really met before, have come up to me and have wished me well. Perhaps this speech would be incomplete if I don’t say something to the teachers. On the behalf of my entire class, I would like to thank all my teachers: thank you. Thank you for teaching us, for leading us, for building us up as adults. I know that we have not given back to you the respect you deserve. I know that we have not told you how much we appreciate you taking time out of your schedules to help us. And I know that we have not said thank you for giving us a wonderful education. So, I hope that as I say thanks, you can forget our shortcomings and remember us for who we are and not from the mistakes we have made. ...
