VALDICTORIAN SPEECH

Good evening, Parents, teachers, honored guests, and fellow classmate. As Benjamin desereli said, change is inventible and change will always will come. In our case we all knew that graduation was coming and that we are leaving .all of us as students should know that change is always going to come we just have to deal with it. Instead of becoming sad that we are leaving, we should remember all the fond memories we are going to have and keep with us. Just because we are leaving market lane physically does not mean we are going to leave market lane mentally or emotionally. Market lane will be in our hearts forever. Market lane taught us many things how to deal with hardships, deal with stress and to have a great time. We are about to begin a new educational journey in high school and so we reflect on the journey we have had through elementary school. We are all on a journey, consisting of many different phases. As we gather here tonight, it is with the knowledge that we have completed a major phase in our lives, and that we are about to embark on a new voyage. The change is inevitable, what is not inevitable is how we choose to handle it. Many people ask me what my fondest memory was and my answer was every thing. From the plays, I have been in to grade 7 Ottawa trip to the Massey hall performance for steel pan. To me memories are things you keep so when I said everything means market lane has a huge impact on me. Many people who I know from other schools would tell me about the many problems they have and now when I look back I see that Market lane has had very few issues. I know we have all had rough spots in our years here but I felt like it has been smoothed away over time. Us as students have been through many things together some of us has been together since jk and some of us had met this year. One memory that stands out to me was our bus ride to Ottawa 6 hours on a bus with a bunch of 13 and 14 year old students

    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…

    As I move onto the pathway to success, I hope to come back and revisit my memories. I will never fail to remember everyone that has made a difference in my life and will definitely make sure they know how much they mean to me. I am so thankful for the teachers helping me take 10 steps forward every day I attend class and inspiring me to do extravagant work. I respect their hard work and intentions to help every student…

    High school: a major transition in many teen’s lives that poses some confusing, yet important, questions. Who am I? Where do I belong? What am I going to do with my life? I was caught up in all of these questions, and quite frankly, life didn’t seem so simple or easy anymore. Day after day I would struggle with keeping everything in balance and worried about all of the little things. My life seemed to slowly slip up until I couldn’t seem to handle everything. I needed answers, and I needed them quickly.…

    Thank you. If you keep watching, there is an episode where they celebrate V-A Day which is the day that the war ended. Again, if you strip away all the Nazi stuff, it could be Thanksgiving. It could be an Independence Day. It is really chilling by how closer it is to the American Dream than not at all.…

    These past years have been eventful, exciting, and strange. I have formed new friendships, and left some behind as I’ve grown. I have been challenged in certain aspects of academics, and in social situations, but all of these have built me up into the person I am today. Although our class has made our fair share of mistakes and bad decisions, they do not define us, and I know we will continue…

    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…

    My fellow seahawks, I want to first congratulate you all for making it to this momentous occasion. Graduating high school, who would’ve thought we'd make it to this day. It seems like just yesterday we arrived to South Lakes. We were little freshmens fighting with the locks on our lockers, trying to figure out where our next class was and generally looking lost and clueless. Now here we are as the upperclassmen, the seniors, ready to graduate and take a hold of our futures. In the beginning, we measured time in class periods which we felt like imprisonment, counting down the periods until eventual freedom. As the weeks passed, we measured it in semester, and later in years. We moved from being those clueless freshmen to the seniors who are…

    Hello, everyone! I’d like to thank everybody again for coming out today to help send us off into our futures. The sad truth is, is that this is probably the last time I’ll get to talk to my entire class at once so I’m gonna try and make it good. We’ve come a long way from nap time and chasing each other around the playground well…maybe something’s never change. Our class has had some awkward moments, from learning about the “bull head” in Mrs. Currnutt’s class, to Morrison hitting on Mrs. Harber. But, we’ve also had some fun times too. We had a pretty amazing fishing trip at the end of our junior year, and also we made a great Senior Harlem Shake! In the past four years I have become friends with people I never expected to be friends with, or even the past two years, for that matter. And I think our whole class can relate to that.…

    Throughout my entire senior year, I had reflected upon my experiences in my high school career. With this, I have come to the conclusion that whomever said and believed that high school were the best years of their lives obviously did not ever attend such an institution. Although my input is rather cynical, I have realized that, although high school posed one of the most disappointing and exorbitant challenges, these barriers have helped me become the mature and forthright young adult I am today.…

    While I have been in high school, I have had some amazing times. Whether it was skipping around the field for our last mile run, trying to surprise teachers with birthday parties, or pranking teachers when they leave the room, it’s good to remember that high school not been only homework and tests. It is a fortunate fact that during these four years, we weren’t trapped in a classroom the entire time. It was during our field trips and other off campus activities that I have made some of my favorite memories. Who knew that a class our size could take up only one half of the tour bus? I guess anything is possible if you want to listen to a rap battle. Our trip to Washington DC almost got bad a few times, but we all made it through okay. And I’m sure I don’t need to remind you all of the chaos from our senior trip, but we all survived, so it was…

    I thought these four years would take forever but come to find out they were right. It feels like just yesterday I walked through Switzerland County High School’s doors wondering how in the world I would make it to every class within the four minute passing periods, and now I am usually one of the first students to make it to their classroom. High school is full of several lessons that we are meant to learn on our own and I am blessed to say I have. I think one of the most memorable moments of senior year is when all the seniors sit down and you hear about everybody’s plans after you high school. In that moment you realize that you finally made it, you and your peers are finally about to face the “real world.” I know the class of 2016 will do extrodanory things outside of this school building and I cannot wait to hear about them. I will be the first to admit, I am terrifed of what the “real world” has to offer me but I am more than excited to find out as well. I do not think I am fully prepared, but I cannot wait to see what this world has to offer…

    The last day in our school life is an indelible memory with sweet memories of our school life. It is a record of pleasant memories that occupy a special place in our life. Though it is a traditional affair, it has a very deep impact on the students who are leaving their "alma mater" after a period of studies there. The memories of my school farewell day still linger in my mind with ever fresh emotions.…
