Graduation Speech : High School Graduation

Graduation: the official ending of high school. For some, graduation could not come fast enough. For others, it is the deadline for deciding what to do with his or her lives. Memories of graduation can vary since they can be held at different times of the day. For me, it was early in the morning. Great. I remember I woke up early and got dressed up and waited for my family to be ready. But since it’s my family, it doesn’t matter how fast we go. We are always late. What can I say? Running late seems to be a genetic trait in Hispanic families. Trust me. So we rush over there. I throw on my graduation robe and run ahead of my family because they also have a knack for being incredibly slow when I happen

Losing friends, meeting new people, first job, first car, boyfriend, getting my license. Throughout the last four years of high school I’ve experienced a lot of new things and learned a lot on the way. I remember walking into school on the first day of freshman year; I was thinking that these are going to be a very long couple of years. I was wrong; these past four years have gone by so fast, so I guess my dad was right when he said they’d fly by.

I realize with time, it will be in the distant past, and seem insignificant to the new stages in my life. As with any ride, it must come to an end. As it comes to a close, and I hold a diploma in hand, it’ll be strange to have my feet once again on the ground. Once I regain my balance, I will be moving forward to larger, bigger rides. However, the thrills that came with this one will remain. This roller coaster of high school life will be what prepared me for so much more. I’m not going to die just

As we look at ourselves, we realize that high school is really only a small link in the large chain of life. Progression is within each of us and will occur; yet graduation does not end that progression. Graduation just gives us that big push into the world, to realize our potential.

With all the emotions going on in my head I feel the excitement. I’m so excited for what my future will look like, how I’m going to change as a person, and what new things I’ll learn on the way. I’m also excited to get my driver's license, got to Prom, to graduate, to go into high school ASB, and all the basketball games. I’m so happy, and lucky, to be going to high school with such great friends that I can count on, trust, and know they’re by my side. Let the excitement of the future carry on!

high school graduation. My priorities were almost as screwed up as I was during this time, and soon partying, drinking, and drugs became more important than even the daily necessities. I can still recall one blurry night when I called my boyfriend at the time to take me home, and soon awoke from a drunken slumber to realize that he had taken advantage of my inoperable state, stealing the rights to my own body. Fortunately, I have overcome these challenging obstacles and am now a junior in college, a member of the Honors College, a full time student with two jobs, and have ridded my life of toxic activities, substances, and people, and am the happiest I have been in a while. Rather than referring to some of these negative events as ‘accidents,’

June 14th, 2014, was a memorable day filled with joyous smiles, caps and gowns, and the reaching of a major milestone. Occurring over a year ago, my high school graduation took place on that day, and because of my family, it is a very special day in my life.

By graduating from Warren High today, we are one step closer to making our wildest dreams come true. No matter which path we travel, we will always remember our journey began here. We will grow old knowing that Warren High is where everything

August 31, 2016, the first day of senior year. Just knowing that this is my last year in high school frightens me and worries me to death. It's scary to think that after this school year, I would have to go out into the “real world”. All throughout senior year, all that was being talked about was college. This scared me because I didn’t have a clue on what I wanted to do in life. I had no idea on what career I wanted to do neither did I know what college to go to. With all of this, college applications, college essays, financial aid, scholarship applications and all of the deadlines. It was stressing me out. All of this was happening now, and I needed to start figuring out what I want to do.

Graduation is a big thing in everyone’s life. It is a big accomplishment that everyone should be proud of. I know when I graduate; I will probably have the proudest moment of my

Graduation is an exciting time in a person’s life, especially a high school graduation. When I think of family and friends gathering together to celebrate a joyous occasion, I feel I accomplished my strongest goal. It never occurred to me that graduation would be the end of my youth and the start of adulthood. Graduating from high school was an influential event that gave me an altered outlook on my existence. Life before graduation, preparing for graduation day, and commencement day overwhelmed me for reality.

Many people have experienced the over whelming excitement that you feel as you approach high school graduation day, and for me, that’s a day that I will never forget. The amount of emotions that you feel on graduation day is unbelievable, and I have yet to experience anything else like it. I can remember feeling anxious to celebrate the big day with my friends and family, while at the same time I was panicking thinking about having to walk across the stage in front of that many people. Then, the more I thought about the reality of graduation day, I started to get curious, but nervous, about being able to start a new chapter in my life once graduation day had passed. There are several reasons why I, still

though graduating High School was my greatest success, it also was stressful, putting forth the

Good evening fellow classmates and community. Isn’t it crazy how in a few short minutes we will walk up to the stage and receive our diplomas? We have spent approximately 14 long years in school for this moment and it all went by so quickly. I remember how just yesterday I walked into my kindergarten class that smelled like hand sanitizer and crayons. But here we are… time flew by so quickly and we accomplished many and these accomplishments would have not been possible without the help of many.

Graduations can be seen as the end of a stage and as a beginning of another. As we look back we can still remember our first day of school. We have grown, become more independent, matured, and learned. We are becoming young adults and have to learn the responsibilities this carries.
