My Graduation Speech
To our jolly yet strict and much respected director, Rev. Fr. Ramoncito Manio Vicente; to our most dynamic principal, Mrs. Susana V. Edrosolo; to the ever patient and hardworking faculty members; to our beloved parents and guardians; to our relatives, friends, to my fellow graduates and school mates; ladies and gentlemen a gorgeous evening to all!!! :)
As we gather here tonight, we will witness the dream that was reached, the dream that is not the end but only the beginning of all the hardships, trials and obstacles that we have encountered. When this night ends, we will face a new tomorrow and will lead to the better future ahead. This night marks the end of our arduous study for four years as high school students. Let’s go further like a game says, “Move on to the next level” which is a time to face a new phase of our lives, the tertiary level of education, being a college one.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank first GOD our Father who gave me strength to accomplish well my task and for this wonderful gift of Him that I have. His Son Jesus Christ who always stays by my side and keeps me away from harm. His mother Mary for always granting my wishes whenever I called her and the Holy Spirit who enlightens me to become a better person than before.
This event reminds me when I graduated as a valedictorian in elementary. A little bit nervous that time but I felt so much pressured today. Honestly, it is difficult to achieve one’s goal sans working hard. As I have experienced, I came on loosing and I came on winning. When you have a skill then enhance it for you to grow your personality but if you don’t, you can’t achieve what you want. I prove to myself that perseverance is better than intelligence.
I just want to acknowledge the people who had been part of my journey for four years of my adventurous studying in my Alma Mater, here in St. Anne Academy. My teachers, for being our second mother, you’ve shared great good things not only on teaching

    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…

    Welcome family, friends, teachers, and fellow students and thank you for coming to our 8th grade graduation. As we look forward to the future with excitement and anticipation, it is easy for one to become overwhelmed by the vast possibilities that our futures may hold; however, as we see our goals and objectives out on the horizon, life is about the journey, not the destination.…

    Before I start with my speech, allow me to ask a very simple question. Have you guys ever complaint about your school, your teachers, or being a student? I bet almost 99.9% of you guys said yes. We actually complain a lot, over the smallest things and lack appreciation. And though this ceremony recognizes our efforts, it also recognizes and pays homage to the dedication of our parents and our teachers. We would not have been able to accomplish this much without their help. So today, in honor of all the students, thank you. You know, I never expected to be standing up here but here I am, giving this speech and probably doing a terrible job at it because if you couldn’t tell, I’m pretty nervous. But thanks to NAMS, it pushed me out of my comfort zone and onto this stage in front of all you wonderful people. Succeeding from middle school is no easy task, looking back it surprises me that I even made it this far. A famous author, Theodore Roosevelt, once said, “A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a collage education he may steal the whole rail road.” Even though we have a while to get a collage education, we’ve made it here, to the end of 8th grade. Just like a rail road the train has to be set on a good track, just like our education. So far for this 8th grade class, our tracks have been fantastic ever since we first started our journey. Our first stop was 6th grade. New building, new people, and it were a whole new environment. New fears emerged and I remember feeling like a fish out of the sea. The year went by and our next stop was 7th grade, which the teachers have been preparing us for. We came back much more confident than the year before. We looked down at the 6th graders and asked ourselves, “Were we that short just last year?” And by the end of 7th grade, we were on our way to 8th grade. The year started off at a sprint and it seems to have left many of us still trying to catch our breath but 8th grade is also the…

    Today, we are gathered to mark the end of one chapter in our lives and the beginning of a new one. Happily, we are finally graduating after four years of living high school life to the fullest. It seemed only yesterday when we first set foot on the SMCS high school grounds and as we look back and reflect on past events, we recall the countless times we were challenged and have succeeded; threatened and have survived; stumbled and have risen. There were times when we thought this day would never come, but here we are now, gathered for a bittersweet celebration of congratulations and goodbyes.…

    Greeting class of 2016; we did it. I would like to congratulate the School of Mayfield Secondary School on graduating. We reached here a short four years, now it’s time to leave. Seems like yesterday we were all shy little 14 year old’s walking into a huge school, trying to figure out where our class was located. It was terrifying walking into a school filled with people so much taller and older than us, and the Grade 12s; I didn’t even want to look at them without thinking we would get bullied. Now we’re those “scary looking Grade 12s” everyone is “afraid” of. We have come so far and are now onto a new journey and are looking at the future ahead of us.…
